Bill,
My inverter was manufactured sometime before 2000. Does it still meet IEEE?
Did I hear something about needing to add/replace the firmware to meet IEEE
929 for older SW's? I must admit Trace has been of no help. The best they
could do was tell me to give the utility a copy of the owners manual.
