The battery keeps running with some functions stopped.
Resetting itself: clears when comms restored.
Manual reset: Restart inverter (installer) per manual.
What you can check
- Read the code on the inverter LCD or in the LuxPower monitoring app/web portal and note it. Check the AC isolator and consumer-unit breaker for the inverter are ON. Lux's action for most codes is 'restart inverter, if the error still exists, contact us' - ask your installer to do this unless they have shown you the shutdown/start-up order.
What the engineer will check
- Check comms cable pinout (CAN/RS485) both ends, battery brand selection on the inverter, battery's own fault indicator.
Who to ask for: MCS PV/battery installer familiar with Lux Power.
Certification: MCS battery installer (MIS 3012) or competent electrician trained on the product; IET Code of Practice for Electrical Energy Storage Systems.
