(Victron Energy) Fehler und Stolperfallen

Allgemeines

Dies ist mein Spickzettel wenn's mal nicht so klappt wie es sollte.

Error Codes

Die Codes werden mit E0 bis ENN aufgelistet, aber zum Beispiel in folgendem Dokument mit ErrNN bezeichnet. Die Liste der ErrorCodes in der VE.Bus Quick Configure (V90.10.153) Hilfe endet bei E26. Es sind dort auch die passenden LED-Blink- und Leuchtkonstellationen animiert dargestellt. Die gruene 'inverter on'-LED blinkt abwechselnd mit den anderen LED. Beim Blinken im Gleichtakt signalisiert/bedeutet es keinen Fehler!

Please read the information below carefully before contacting Victron Energy.

First of all, in a running VE.Bus parallel system, all slaves blink their Inverter on and Mains on LEDs alternating. This is as it should be and does not indicate an error! It just indicates that these devices are slaves. Please look at the LEDs on the master to determine the state of the corresponding phase.

Besides this there are 2 types of LED codes in a VE.Bus system. OK codes and Error codes.

OK codes
If the internal state in a device is OK, but the device cannot start yet due to the failing of other devices, this device will display an OK code. This feature will make it more easy to discover which unit fails in a certain situation.

For a Multi:
A blinking Bulk LED indicates that this device can invert.
A blinking Float LED indicates that this device can charge.

For an Inverter:
The Inverter on LED must blink.
A blinking Overload LED  indicates that this device can invert.
A blinking Temperature LED indicates that this device does not block charge.

All other LEDs must be off. If this is not the case then it is not an OK code.
This rule has the following exceptions:
The Low battery LED can be on while the device indicates that it can charge (or that it does not block charge in case of an inverter).
The 'voltage sense', 'temperature sense' and 'waiting for mains' LED indications can occur concurrently with OK codes.

Voltage sense error:	The Bulk LED and Absorption LED blink.
Temperature sense error:	The Absorption LED and Float LED blink.
Waiting for mains:	Mains on LED blinks.   (Occurs when device is switched to charger only and mains is connected but rejected or still being synchronised to.)

VE.Bus error codes
Multis can also display special VE.Bus error codes. These error codes are represented by a blinking Inverter on LED in combination with the Bulk, Absorption and Float LEDs. These LEDs can have 3 states. Off/Blink/On.

A VE.Bus error code can be recognised as follows:
   a)	The device is in error! (This means it switched itself off.)
   b)	The Inverter LED Blinks.
   c)	At least one of the LEDs Bulk, Absorption and Float is blinking or on.
   d)	If one (or more) of the LEDs Bulk, Absorption or Float is blinking, this blinking is in anti-phase with the blinking of the Inverter LED. (This means that when a yellow blinking LED switches on the green Inverter on LED switches off and vice versa.)

Important: All conditions must be met! Otherwise it is not a VE.Bus error code!
It is important to keep this in mind because the inverter LED can also blink during Power Assist. Under some circumstances some yellow LEDs can then blink or be on also. This is not a VE.Bus error code since the condition a) is not met.

Below you see a simplified drawing of a Multi front. By clicking on the yellow charge LEDs you can cycle through the different LED states. If you encounter an error code just match the LED state below with the LED state on the Multi and press the button. This will give you information about the error code.

For inverters (and also for Multis) you can right-click on the corresponding image and select 'Interpret error code'. This will give you a short description of the error code of the corresponding device.  (Note: For  " VE.Bus Quick Configure"  this is only possible when the system setup is recognised.)

General remark
When a VE.Bus system fails, due to a failing Multi, one must restart the system either with the remote panel or by switching all Multis off first and then switch all the Multis back on. Switching only a failing Multi off and on will result in the other Multis generating an 'missing Multi' error.
