7.1 Status Messages
Your inverter can be in various operating states. These are displayed as status messages, which can
vary according to the method of communication.
Message Description
Balanced The inverter has disconnected from the power distribution grid or
is limiting its power over a 10 minute average to 5 kVA. The
inverter is a part of a 3 phase system with 2 further inverters and
equipped with the SMA Power Balancer for the avoidance of
unbalanced loads.
Derating Overtemperature in the inverter. The inverter reduces its output to
prevent overheating. To avoid unnecessary yield penalties, the
design of the PV plant should be checked. Inform your installer.
Disturbance Fault.
This message appears for safety reasons and ensures that the
inverter does not connect to the power distribution grid. Inform
your installer.
Earthfault/Riso Measurement of the insulation resistance of the PV plant.
Error An error has been detected. Inform your installer.
grid mon. Grid monitoring
This display appears during the start phase, before the inverter is
connected to the power distribution grid, predominantly in the
morning and evening when radiation is too low and after an error.
MPP The inverter is operating in MPP mode. MPP is the standard display
message when operating under normal radiation conditions.
Mpp-Search The inverter is calculating the MPP.
Off Grid The inverter is in Island mode. This mode is specially designed for
operation in an off-grid system.
Offset Offset adjustment of the measurement electronics.
Stop Operation interrupted.
V-Const Constant voltage operation.
waiting The conditions for connecting are not (yet) fulfilled.
