How did you request the update? My distributor told me that he updated me to the latest version, but I just checked and it is FAABO9O9. How can I go about getting either LUX to update it or send the latest and give me the instructions I'll need to do it myself?
If the system runs well, we do not suggest you update it,
If there is anything abnormal, you can write to info@luxpowertek.com and please let us know
1. which issue do you have, so we can help to check
2. inverter SN

At this point, I have no idea if things are abnormal. It seems to have a mind of it's own when to supply the load from Grid and/or battery and importing/exporting from the Grid. I tried making changes via the app and they don't seem to affect it's operation. I'm trying to test and fix each feature one at a time.

My concern with doing all this troubleshooting with an older version, is that I'll spend hours trying to test and quantify an issue only to find out that there is already a fix in a newer version. What is the downside to getting the most current version before I start testing?

the inverter default mode is Self-Consumption.
if you don't want to discharge your battery use CHARGE PRIORITY settings. but don't overlap any settings that have time settings except with AC charge, if you decide not to discharge your battery and charge from the grid.

Hi everybody, this is Grace from Luxpower, we are going to have the roadshow in May, and we are looking forward to meeting you there,
Meanwhile, we will try to answer your technical questions here as many as we can
Well thats great.....How bout the east coast of the us..???????
 
Greetings,

Can anyone tell me where I can purchase the 12kw at a reasonable price? I have been searching but cant find it under $5,600.00. Two months ago $3,900.00.

Is it even worth purchasing with all the hassles mentioned here?

Thanks

Mine is pretty good so far since i got it (October) had some minor problem, but its all good now.. must set the right setting to make the inverter working correctly. With HA you can do alot with it

Did you try

Adam Brewer at boomer.inc@hotmail.com

He offers them at a reasonable price.
 
So I've only been running a heat pump and tesla charger on mine so far while I'm finishing my solar racking. My problem is I'm having a hard time finding which setting changes the max battery voltage it will charge to from solar. Does anyone know what section that is in?
I'm super happy with the way its been working just feels like there's a bit of a learning curve and the programming isn't intuitive. The home assistant integration is amazing if your into that

Are you using closed loop bms communication or lead acid profile?

Hey Addict, I don't have any times in the charge or discharge slots.
I'm not sure what you meant about overlap AC Charge.
I've attached a ten screen shots of both LUX. I have more of Solar Assistant taken at the same time that have different reads that I'll attach as a reply to this.
I don't have the LUX communicating with the batteries, so I'm using the lead acid settings given to me by the battery supplier. I have about 3kw of solar connected to the Gen port starting this morning.
Do these setting cause this type of charging and discharging? I still haven't been able to get the time zone and the battery number and capacity values to set. I have them highlighted in red on the first shot. Any thoughts you have would be greatly appreciated.

Its looks like your inverter is in self-consumption mode, those timers don’t matter if your on self-consumption. All matters is your battery settings absorb and float….
Those timers matter when you want to charge (with solar) the battery first or grid ac charge.. same as grid peak and force discharge…
when you use those features you must not overlap the time settings…
 
if you are using SOC instead of V, with closed loop communication then the inverter will automatically do all the setting.
I have it set to v and it seems as tho 54v is as high as it will charge the batteries seems just a bit low
 
is your inverter on self-consumption? are you using any feature on the charging setting?
Yeah self consumption and no I'm not using any of the charging features. No grid power to it at the moment yet either
 
I have it set to v and it seems as tho 54v is as high as it will charge the batteries seems just a bit low
Are you sure you have 16S battery ?
I had a problem getting communication to work on a different brand AiO inverter and it would stop charging with my Lead Acid Battery settings.
Turns out my batteries are 15s, not 16s, so all voltages needed to be 3.2V lower. After that everything worked fine, and when I got communication working even better !

Anyway thanks, whoever was helping from Lux was really good and responsive. Its way better than my distributor… also kind a found out that the inverter came with either small screen (Lux new 12k) or big screen like GSL inverter…
It will be a small screen, the new LCD is a typical industry size and better for EMC noise

:)Your words make sense. Please write to info@luxpowertek.com for an update.
For default mode, it is self-consumption mode. Inverter will try to use solar and battery power, and avoid using grid energy, however, solar and loads change all the time, so it needs time to detect power and change output power. so you can see import and export sometimes
