[RE-wrenches] Fortress Envy E-stop

[Kienan Maxfield]

I have filled out two different online Technical Support tickets with Fortress in the last two weeks. Most of the time I get a response within 3 hours, and follow up responses are normally even faster. However, one recently was in regard to a very specific integration issue with an SMA inverter, so they had to get it to the right person and do a little digging… so that took a few days. The good news is that they did indeed give me an answer instead of dismissing it as most companies seem to do these days, and they fixed their SMA integration guide immediately.

Your mileage may vary.

Thanks,
Kienan

Not sure what tell you about your Envy True 12 if its missing the terminal block....their tech support now takes hours or days to respond,(six months ago it was immediate) and they almost mandate filing a service request online to get a case ticket# before they'll talk to you.

No wonder I'm confused, this inverter is missing the terminal block that the manual references.

Does anyone have a good, direct number for Fortress tech support that will pick up. I'm getting nothing...

Thanks!

Hi Lewis

Yes both the 12 and 18 have RSD
It’s a button on the left side.

Shuts off AC and PV

Hello Wrenches,

Does anyone know if the 12kW Envy inverter has remote stop capability?  I need an external button to activate rapid shutdown and disable inverter output but I'm not seeing this functionality in the  manual.

Seems strange to me.

Thanks in advance!
