    EG4 6000xp display randomly came on.

    I walked by my 6000XP inverters and noticed the displays were both on. I have never seen them on before unless I push a button. Anyone else see this? Possible reasons? Been up and running for 2 months.

    EG4 6500ex poll

    Please list the amount of time your EG4 6500ex inverters have been running with no problems. I'm curious what percentage of good ones are out there. I'm hoping that the majority are working flawlessly. I was good for a month or so but shut down on F80 yesterday. So for me. 1 Day

    Is there a way to test with a multi-meter if my 6500s have a bonding screw installed without taking it apart and possibly voiding warranty?

    My free work around for Watchpower remote monitoring.

    I was never able to get Watchpower to work on my iphone for remote monitoring for my EG4 6500s. I really only wanted to be able to verify that my system was functioning and I am too cheap to pay for Solar Assistant. (And that SS says it may or may not blow up your inverters! WTF?) I have a...

    Setting 25 on the EG4 6500ex is shown as Record Fault (enable/disable) Where is this recording or not recording? Enable is the default, somehow mine changed to disable and I was still able to see faults recorded on Watchpower on my pc.

    EG4 6500ex EG4 battery mode?

    When charging in EG4 mode with EG4 6500ex and EG4 Lifepower4 batteries the bulk and float settings are at 58v. Somewhere near 100% charge the charge amps drop from setting of 120amps to 20 or 30 or 10, whatever it decides. Does anyone know at what battery voltage the charging amps go back to...

    Is anyone running 3 EG4 6500s in 240 split phase with 2 units running 2P1 and one unit running 2P2 180? Seems like it should work, maybe a good way to run a system that has an unbalanced load.
