I think Kent might be right that it may be the AC output relay. It is odd though that there is no error message in your case. This inverter had been tortured by the last tenants of the cabin with bad generators. I was actually going to go up there and check it out some more as it is warm today.

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

Hi Wrenches,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I wonder if anyone can tell me what is happening
here?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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><br>
</div>
<div>I installed this for a neighbour recently on his 48V
system, and it apparently worked when I left the building.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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><br>
</div>
<div>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><br>
</div>
<div>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>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><br>
</div>
<div>I tried rebooting with the battery fuse. I tried
resetting to factory defaults. No joy.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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><br>
</div>
<div>cheers</div>
