Fronius STATE codes beginning with 1xx

Fronius STATE codes beginning with 1 usually only occur temporarily and are caused by the
power from the electrical mains (grid) being outside the inverters operating parameters. The
Fronius inverter reacts by disconnecting from the grid and attempts to switch on again after
the specified mains monitoring period, as long as no further errors occur during this period.
The STATE code is displayed whilst the grid is being checked.

Fronius STATE codes beginning with 2 are messages from the grid monitoring device
(ENS) integrated within the inverter and refer to the parameters of the public mains.
Some error checks cross over with the STATE codes beginning with 1, however those
in service class 2 are of a higher importance and are displayed for that reason.

Fronius STATE codes beginning with 3xx

Fronius STATE codes beginning with 3 are error states that can occur during grid feed
in operation, however they do not indicate damaged electronics and do not lead to a
remaining interruption of the feed in operation. After switching off and passing the
grid monitoring period, the Fronius IG inverter will start feed in operation again. In
case of a temperature excess additional cooling down phase is maintained.

Fronius STATE codes beginning with 4xx

Fronius STATE codes beginning with 4 are error states that require the intervention of
a technician. They are either temporary or lasting and are triggered by faulty hardware
or a software problem. Try switching off the Fronius inverter following the system
shutdown procedure, leave off for a few minutes then attempt to restart. If the fault
continues please contact us for further assistance.
