Precautions for Use
7
７. Reverting the date and time by at least a 15 minute interval into the past will result in the loss of
performance data. Set the date and time correctly.
Example : [A case where performance data is lost]
The time is inadvertently changed from 9:15 to 8:45 and then reverted to 9:15.
The performance data starting from 8:45 onwards are added to the performance data from 8:45
and the performance data for the period since 8:45 is lost. Lost data cannot be restored.
● Time is changed from 9:15 to 8:45.
● Time is changed from 8:45 to 9:15.
Example : [A case where performance data is not lost]
The time is inadvertently changed from 9:28 to 9:18 and then reverted to 9:28.
The performance data from 9:15 is fixed as of 9:30 and as such, the performance data is not lost,
as long as the time change does not extend to at least a 15 minute interval.
● Time is changed from 9:28 to 9:18.
● Time is changed from 9:18 to 9:28.

One Point
・ Numerical values that are displayed on the screens are all displayed as values that have
been rounded up or off.
For instance in case where a value is “3.14 kWh”, this is displayed as “3.1 kWh”, whereas if
the value is “3.15 kWh”, then it is displayed as “3.2 kWh”.
Thus the numerical values that are displayed do not necessarily completely match with
the true value in some cases, as described above.
・ Refer to “4. When Something Seems Wrong (Troubleshooting)” (Page 85) for details when
the Suppression and Communication Malfunction icons are displayed frequently.

Self-consumption mode
Self-consumption mode is standard hybrid inverter mode.
In this mode, PV power is supplied in following priority :
1. Supply for home load.
2. Charge the battery until it is full.
3. Feed-in the remaining power to grid.
When there is no PV power, battery starts to discharge and supply home load until it’s empty.
If you had set the time settings, the behavior of hybrid inverter will change.
We will explain it in Page 81.

Special Modes
In addition to the 5 modes above, hybrid inverter still have 3 special modes.
These modes cannot be enabled by user but will be enabled automatically by inverter in
some special condition.
・Standalone mode
Hybrid inverter changes to standalone mode automatically during a power
outage occur. At this time, grid side is disconnected by inverter and home load
are supported by PV and battery power as much as possible.If the battery is
not connected, only when there has sufficient PV power can inverter enter

・Forced charge mode
Although battery stops any action when SOC (state of charge) reach 0%,
the self-discharge phenomenon may still causing SOC lower than 0%.
At this time, hybrid inverter will force battery charging from PV power and grid
power until the battery SOC reaching 30%. Only in this special condition will
battery be charged by grid power. In normal operation mode, inverter only
charges the battery by PV power.

Symptom
Nothing is displayed on
the screen.
Nothing is displayed even
when the screen is touched.
Total accumulated power
of Inverter and the total
accumulated amount of
power on the Power
Monitor vary.
Verification details
Is the backlight turned off?
Has the AC Adapter come
off the power outlet or the
Power Monitor?
Have you replaced the
Inverter?
Responsive action
Touching the screen will trigger the display of the
screen.
The duration of time the screen remains turned on
can be changed in the Screen Setting.
⇒ “Screen Setting” (Page 68).
“Battery Communication
Fail” appears in Error
Events Log.
It means there is no
communication between
inverter and battery.
Please check communication status between
inverter and battery
If there is no communication, check if communication
wiring is reversed or unusual.
If the issue cannot be cleared, please contact with
local representative.
“Battery Under Voltage”
appears in Error Events
Log.
Since reversed wiring may
cause battery voltage lower
Please check if wiring to the battery is reversed.
If the issue cannot be cleared, please contact with
local representative.
Connect the AC Adapter properly to the power outlet
and to the Power Monitor.
Contact your retailer if the symptom persists even
after a proper connection has been established.
It is normal in the following case:
The accumulated amount of power is accumulated
for each Inverter and Power Monitor, respectively.
Therefore, the values for the accumulated amount
of power may be different on a Inverter and those
displayed on a Power Monitor.
AC Adapter is hot How hot is it getting?
Heating does occur under normal circumstances while
the system is in use.
If the AC Adapter is so hot that you cannot touch it by
hand, pull it off the power outlet and consult your retailer.

The Operation LED lamp
does not turn on when the
USB Wireless Module is
inserted in the Power
Monitor.
Has the AC Adapter come
off the power outlet or the
Power Monitor?
Connect the AC Adapter properly to the power outlet
and to the Power Monitor. Contact your retailer if the
symptom persists even after a proper connection has
been established.
Display (time and amount
of power production) does
not change.
Verify the radio wave status
of the Power Monitor.
Install the Power Monitor in a location with good
communication conditions when the Communication
Malfunction icon is displayed.
Communication Malfunction
icon is displayed.
Wireless communication
is not available.
Is there any obstruction in
the surrounding area or is
the installed location far
away?
The communication between the Power Monitor and
a Inverter or a Meter is in an abnormal condition
when the Communication Malfunction icon is displayed.
Consult your retailer.
Symptom Verification details Responsive action
The power display values
appear to be incorrect.
Alternatively, the values
for the power production,
power consumption and
power feed-in and purchase
are not in the following
relationship:
Power consumed =
(power production - power
feed-in) or Power consumed
= (power production +
Power purchased)
Verify that the displayed
power values are in
accordance with the
equations described to the
left.
There are instances that the values do not
necessarily match up with the values that can be
derived with these equations, due to effects from
the fluctuations that occur with the power production
or rounding up or off of the values and in such
instances there is no malfunction with the Product.
If the displayed power values are clearly wrong,
there may be a system malfunction. Consult your
retailer in such cases.
There are some variances in measurement values.
The Wireless Setting lamp
of the Meter is illuminated
red.
Is there an icon, such as an
Error icon displayed on the
Power Monitor?
Install the Power Monitor in a location with good
communication conditions when the Communication
Malfunction icon is displayed.
The Wireless Setting lamp
of the Meter is blinking
green.
Is there an icon, such as an
Error icon displayed on the
Power Monitor?
Install the Power Monitor in a location with good
communication conditions when the Communication
Malfunction icon is displayed. Verify the connection
if the Communication Malfunction icon is not displayed.
The value of the power
consumed displayed on
the Home screen
sometimes increases or
decreases, even when the
amount of electricity used
remains constant.
Has the value of the power
production
changed?
The value displayed as power consumption may be
greater (or smaller) than the actual value when there
is fluctuation with sunshine or the like.
This arises from the difference in the timing of data
acquisition for the power production and the power
purchase and is not due to a malfunction of the Product.
The amounts of power
feed-in and purchased
differ from those
described in the statement
of the power company.
Verify the amount of power
being displayed.
There may be discrepancy between the amount
described in the statement of the power company
and the amount of power displayed due to following
types of errors.
If the discrepancy is significant, consult your retailer.
(1) Error in measurement:
The error arising from the fact that the instrument
used by the power company for the purpose of
calculating the amount of power purchased is not a
specified measuring instrument but instead it is
another equipment.
(2) Errors in calculation:
The error arising from rounding up or rounding off of
figures in the calculation and display process of the
Power Monitor.
