<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Mac<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for sending me the Optics site name I was able to find some info on the FM100 situation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There was an arc fault at 01/20/22 6:34 AM<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The FM worked until that point in time. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Arc fault can be difficult especially in remote situations. I believe the FM 100 arc fault works well.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am not aware of any related issues.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The manuals states that both PV+ and PV- wires be routed through the Rogowski coil in opposite directions<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This helps to reduce (hopefully eliminate) false readings. Unfortunately the fault has to be reset manually.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Below are some screen shot from Optics<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have a recently installed Outback system, (Radian, FM100, Mate 3s) that was humming along great for about a month but for some reason the FM 100 stopped charging. It went through a full charge day, but has stayed in Silent state ever
since. No event was logged (via Optics at least) and we are well within its current and voltage bounds. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have tried to remotely trigger a bulk charge, an eq charge etc. I have tried remotely rebooting the Mate. Any other things I should try remotely? I am trying to avoid a long snowcat ride!<o:p></o:p></p>
