to clear using taps but it was a lot of tapping. 3 taps after the
second restart with blue light blinking did it - or maybe that was a
coincidence - and it just decided to clear then.<br>

Bill - I did try clearing it through the Data Manager M (EnnexOS) but
there didn't appear to be any place to clear it - nor update the
firmware either that I could find.<br>
<br>
I was in the process of logging into the machine itself onsite when I
tried the taps - good thing cause I misplaced the installer log-in!
Next step was PUK - yuk!<br>
</span><br>
<span><span>And the "source" of the arc-fault was not wiring or
connectors - it was
I had turned on and off the DC disconnect as I was making sure Neurio
worked - a guick on and off again inadvertently (changed my mind
midstream as to which I wanted) That was enough to trip the arc-fault!</span><br>
SMA if you are listening - can't you make this a bit easier? Having to
reset passwords by contacting SMA - that's a major on top of all the
arc-fault pain we are feeling!<br>
<br>
Thanks all,<br>

<p>I've only had the "tapping" method work on SB-22 inverters, not
on -40 inverters. You gotta log on to the machine which I think
you can only do onsite. Has anyone ever done a reset of the 8206
from the portal?</p>

<span>Hey Folks,<br>
<br>
How do you clear an 8206 from a SB7.7-US? the manual says tap
on the cover within 10 seconds of error message. That's not
working.<br>
<br>
Does that tap then set it up for the next restart or is it
supposed to clear it right away - I've tried restarting again to
no avail.<br>
<br>
When I tap right after the message appears it simply toggles to
the next screen.<br>

<div>You may be aware of this but the -92R firmware supposedly
has addressed the arc fault issue for the US-40 inverters.
See here for the download: <a

fixed an arc fault issue for me yesterday at least. Bring a

Whatever they quote me I triple the price. 1/3 up front
and the rest when it is done. ABB is really slow with
payment. I think they sold their inverter business?
Sunpower is a great panel but they have had some bad runs.
Probably why there are so many new/used panels on the
secondary market. They are great for Offgrid ground arrays
and no AFD.</p>

<div>Sunpower has taken some responsibility on some of
our older Sunpower systems that are arc faulting. We
tell them that a system is arc faulting, and then they
insist on sending up a 3rd party contractor to inspect
the system and potentially install what they call
"Tigo Diodes". I am still not exactly sure what that
is. It also seems to take them months to send anyone
to upstate NY, as we have a bunch of customers that
have been waiting months for the 3rd party contractor
to come take a look. You likely could only follow this
route though if the system was installed by a Sunpower
dealer and you are a Sunpower dealer yourself. If the
original system was from a Sunpower dealer, you can
also have the customer call Sunpower directly.</div>
