Title: AC Input Faults and Warnings
Post by: holdmode on July 06, 2025, 12:31:57 PM
How to fix it, look at the photo. There is high voltage. Thanks

"Fixed", "Reset to Default", first time using AC IN, 3days running like a champ. Maybe high voltage keeps out Rosie from the grid. And charging the batteries 3hrs.+ and Rosie running like a turbo, all fan.
 
Thanks Larry for ideas.

Update: High voltage and frequency change in my area Puerto Rico "North" causes Rosie to disconnect, "only during the day." There are three houses in front of mine with NetMeeting, and we are connected to the same power line.  :-X

Can you turn off grid support and just run without it?

You could also program Rosie AC input to operate during the evening hours ONLY when the grid voltage is stable, using solar & battery power during the day.  Hope you get it solved.

I see that it has to be done manually.!? I would like to see a timer, in the A/C IN grid support menu. In my case 5pm to 5am. I'm waiting for a firmware version with a timer.  ;D " Preparing for hurricane season."
Thanks for sharing, your advice. Next stop December.

I think the automatic timer is already there, under 'AC Input Control', Time Xfer.  Xfer Start is the time you want AC power to start powering the loads.  Xfer Stop is the time to stop powering loads with AC. All times outside the time range will be battery/inverter powering the loads.  Be sure and 'Enable' the Time Xfer when you want these times to be in effect!

This menu doesn't show up in the manual, I believe.  Ryan said they were updating/rewriting the manual a few months ago; I haven't checked the website lately to see if a new version has been posted.  The 2nd Rosie I purchased was manufactured in the 1st quarter 2025 and still had an original manual.  Hope this helps :)

Thanks again... I hope it works... high voltage drives me crazy... And the Low Battery Transfer "Disabled"?
Thank you...!!

👍 Thanks.. Dave. The timer did the job. "It's only for emergencies", I forgot to take a pics. A/C IN blinking and and the inverter solid green.

Glad it's working!  The load Xfer is a different animal and doesn't need to be enabled for the load times to work.  My understanding of load Xfer is it's used when the battery/inverter is powering the load, but you want to limit how large a load the battery can support.  If a load EXCEEDS the number you select in the load Xfer, then AC in will kick in to power the load.  Let's you regulate how large a load is placed on your batteries IF you have AC available.  Another tool to make your system work to your needs :)
