[RE-wrenches] Fronius State 104

[Philip Boutelle]

Jeff-
See if you can find a PowerSight power meter (http://www.powersight.com/;
in PG&E territory, we can borrow them from PG&E for free). This will allow
you to log and chart frequency. Present your data to Fronius, and assuming
that your grid frequency is actually within permissible range, push them to
send you an IG+ as a replacement. I went through 4 IGs before I got an IG+,
and now no more state 104 errors.
Good luck,
-Phil Boutelle
