Title: Error Codes
Post by: CDN-VT on December 24, 2017, 02:49:25 AM
To find the "LAST Reason For Resting"

From the main status screen hold the left arrow and tap Enter. The top middle number is the "Last" RFR

Remember this is over written the next time it goes to resting

This table was stolen from a post by boB - hope to make it easier to find:

                      Reason  For Resting:

   ...  "

    ReasonForResting = 1    Wake state, (Vpv < PreVoc AntiClickSenstvty  (MB Addr. 4236)
    ReasonForResting = 2    Insane Ibatt on WakeUp state (offset changed from off state)
    ReasonForResting = 3    Negative current on WakeUp state
    ReasonForResting = 4    dispavgVpv < (dispavgVbatt - 10) Now -25 (RestartTimerms = 1500)
    ReasonForResting = 5    Too low power and Vbatt below set point for 90 seconds
    ReasonForResting = 6    FETtemperature >= 100C Hot
    ReasonForResting = 7    Ground Fault
    ReasonForResting = 8    Arc Fault
    ReasonForResting = 9    (IbattDisplaySi < -15) (negative current) (MB 4200)
    ReasonForResting = 10   (dispavgVbatt < LBDlowV)  Battery less than 8 Volts
    ReasonForResting = 11   Vpv >= 90% of Voc but slow. Low Light #1
    ReasonForResting = 12   Vpv < 90% of Voc   Low Light #2
    ReasonForResting = 13   Vpv > (Voc + 10V) in    PV_Uset || Solar1_OandP
    ReasonForResting = 14   Vpv >= 90% of Voc  but slow.  Low Light #3
    ReasonForResting = 15   Vpv < 90% of Voc and taking too long.  Low Light #4
    ReasonForResting = 16   Normally because user turned MODE OFF...  Disabled
    ReasonForResting = 17   Vpv > 150V  (classic 150)
    ReasonForResting = 18   Vpv > 200V  (classic 200)
    ReasonForResting = 19   Vpv > 250V  (classic 250)

    ReasonForResting = 22   Average Battery Voltage is too high above set point  (RestartTimerms = 2 sec)

    ReasonForResting = 25   Battery breaker tripped  (Vbatt shot up high)
                            (If RFR = 25 on Wakeup, check modbus register 4200)

    ReasonForResting = 26   Mode changed while running, Vabsorb raised more than
                             10.0 Volts or Nominal Vbatt changed by modbus command
                             AND MpptMode was ON when changed...

    ReasonForResting = 27   bridge center == 1023  (R132 might have been stuffed old units)
    ReasonForResting = 28   NOT Resting but RELAY is not engaged for some reason
    ReasonForResting = 29   ON/OFF stays off because WIND GRAPH is insane
    ReasonForResting = 30   PkAmpsOverLimit (will change somewhat 1-23-2013)
    ReasonForResting = 31   AD1CH.IbattMinus > 900   (peak negative battery current)

    ReasonForResting = 32   Aux 2 Logic input is high.  Aux2Function 15 (external disable/enable)
    ReasonForResting = 33   OCP in a mode other than Solar or PV-Uset (1-10-2013)
    ReasonForResting = 34   AD1CH.IbattMinus > 900 Classic 150,200 newer than 1-23-2013
    ReasonForResting = 35   Vbatt < 8.6 V  (LOW LOW battery)
    ReasonForResting = 36   Battery temperature is Greater than reg address 4161 specified
    ReasonForResting = 38, is the new sleep because "other charging sources appear to be active"
    ReasonForResting = 136  Battery temperature fell below MB reg. 4161 - 10 C (Classic turned back on)


    ReasonForResting greater than 100...  100 + PowerOnReset, WDT, etc...
    ReasonForResting = 104  Watchdog WDT reset (only at boot until first RFR)
    ReasonForResting = 111  Normal Power up boot (only at boot until first RFR)

                 [ 100 +   1 = POR,  2 = Ext. Reset  4 = WDT  8 = Brown Out ]

Other info copied from a post :

Bob clarified just the other day that 38, is the new sleep because "other charging sources appear to be active" and the classic is no longer required. ie something is holding the bank above teh classic setpoints. You might also see this after a bank transits from EQ back to float.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any reason for resting code above 100 (like 104 or 111) means that the Classic rebooted or was re-powered.

Hope things work better next day.

Error code DID not search well for ME .So I re-posted & added gathered info

Thanks for the info - missed this in the past

The RFR Table has been at the top of the Classic Topic, under Classic FAQs:

http://midniteftp.com/forum/index.php?topic=2034.0

Perhaps this was too obscure a location,   although,   this IS a fairly often asked question,  directly,  or indirectly.

Thanks,  Vic
