Hugh,<br>

I've seen these symptoms before. The problem was a failed output
relay on the ac board.<br>

Hi Wrenches,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I wonder if anyone can tell me what is happening
here?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I have an Outback VFX that I used for my own home
from 2006-2018. It\u2019s a 50Hz 240V unit, but similar otherwise to
any other 48V VFX. It was working well when disconnected. I
needed to replace the inverter system for other reasons.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I installed this for a neighbour recently on his 48V
system, and it apparently worked when I left the building.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Now it\u2019s not working. When \u201coff\u201d it shows a warning
for temperatures sensor - fair enough I did not install one.
Maybe when it gets connected to a generator it will be found a
sensor. This is the only error or fault with a yes.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">When \u201con\u201d it makes a reassuring buzz and both lights
come up green and there is no error or warning in the Mate.
Just one problem - no output. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Another weird thing. I go to the status menu and
check meters STATUS/FX/METER output voltage and it says \u201c4V\u201d.
So it <u class="">knows</u> that it is not working but it
appears to have no qualms or misgivings about this state of
affairs. NO error, no warning, two green lights.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I tried rebooting with the battery fuse. I tried
resetting to factory defaults. No joy.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I suppose I will take it to pieces and try to figure
out a hardware failure but I wonder if anyone has seen this and
can give me a clue?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">cheers</div>
<div class="">Hugh</div>
