Hey,
I Started to have a problem with my classic 250 today.
Background info:
5 Classic 250s on Solar and 1 so far on wind.
16,000 watts of solar.
4000 amp hour bank @ 48 volts.
One of my classics is giving me an error, I made a video of the problem that repeats itself every 2 minutes or so.
See full problem @ the 1:09 mark:

I can't get that video to load properly seems to only be partially there?
Maybe its me?

Tom I think he means when the screen goes red..., at the start and ~ 1 min in...
Watch closely, when screen goes red , small box appears, FET drive error, and FET temp is 45.9 degrees (C)

I mean I cannot get it to play. Period.
No matter, I probably cannot help anyway.

Oh, Santa has blocked your machine so no surfing today... ::) :'(
The Local App could probably use some new wording. that might actually be "OCP" or
Over Current Protection occurring. Depends on the age/version of your Classic
and the firmware on it.
what is either the serial number or firmware date/version in that Classic ?
Has it been working OK for a while and this just started ?
If this is just an OCP, maybe you have some large battery side loads that
are turning on ? That might cause this, or at least, OCP's.
BTW, I could see your video just fine here.

FYI, I was also able to see the small popop with "Defcon 4".
Could it be a localapp bug , let's suppose, when it gets some out of range value? Or possibly a mini-sweep? I would try to isolate that classic to log onto a different localApp and see if you can still reproduce.
Still would be good to know how old the Classic is and/or firmware version as
well as if you notice large loads coming on when you see the message.
Does it re-occur many times around the time you see it ? If so, you might
also look at the MNGP to see if it is also giving a message in the status
screen.
Is the Classic turning off momentarily when this happens ?
The Reason For Resting number would also be helpful maybe if it does
go to Resting at this time.
