Inverter code-242 showing. App shows Battery is 100% though is cloudy and am using power to charge car.
App shows Battery is 100% though is cloudy and am using power to charge car. Inverter seems to be checking power over and over again. sometime reads 0w, sometimes reads 475w. What should I do

Error 242 is a fault between inverter and meter, i'm assuming you have a meter installed and not the CT clamp in which case you need to check the comms cable from between the inverter meter/ct connector and where the meter is installed.

It might be worth doing a full shut down and restart the system.

Sorry. I’m 78 and not technical st all.Whst is the CT clamp? There is a red round dial which had a loose connection in the past

Ok, from what you have said, I think you need to contact your installer to take a look at the system - it needs to be checked over by somebody that knows enough about the configuration to find and rectify the fault you have.

That black box is your datalogger, that is used to send data to and from the Fox cloud - that seems to be working.

The ‘meter’ is a hard wired device, usually in your smart meter cupboard and it measures the amount of power flowing - it is connected back to the inverter over a single pair cable and goes into the meter/ct connector underneath the inverter just to the left of the flashing black box.

If you know how to shutdown and restart the inverter it is worth trying to see if that clears the fault - there is information in this video that can assist with that https://foxesscommunity.com/viewtopic.php?p=6#p6
, unfortunately if that doesn’t work you will need qualified assistance to correct the fault.

Thank you. A friend who works in green energy is calling in tomorrow. I’ll show him this. Seems really helpful. Thanks again

A friend has checked for me - when SPNet engineers repaired our outside electricity meter on Thursday they removed and didn't replace the CT clamp linked to the inverter - so the inverter can't work.......
