WHAT IT MEANS
The PWRcell Inverter is NOT configured for an ATS, but an ATS has been detected
WHAT THE MANUFACTURER SAYS
The cause and the fix as the manufacturer's own documentation gives them, in its order. Where it writes them as one block, we keep them as one: splitting them would mean inventing a distinction it does not make.
- The PWRcell Inverter is NOT configured for an ATS, but an ATS has been detected
- Verify the number of ATSes installed
- Use the Inverter “Mod
- Settings” to set 'NumTranSwtchs' to '1' or '2' to match the number of installed ATSes
- See Configure Inverter Settings and Enable Inverter for more information
SAFETY WARNING
A solar system stays live even with the inverter switched off: the panels produce whenever there is light, and the DC side can exceed 600 volts. The checks described here are done with the system isolated; those that require opening the inverter belong to a qualified person.
Buy the whole thing, or just the part
Two different needs, and we keep them apart on purpose: a complete system to buy and install yourself, or the single component that failed on a system you already have.
Complete systems and equipment
Bought as one piece, delivered ready to fit. This is where the off-grid reader buys: a kit, not a spare part.
Replacement components
For a system already on the roof: the component that failed, new or refurbished. Compare suppliers before buying.
HOW TO CHECK IT
The checks below are done with the system isolated. Anything that needs the inverter opened belongs to a qualified person.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS
Can I reset this myself?
A reset clears the message, not the cause. If the fault comes back within minutes, the cause is still there and the reset only hides it.
Does the same number mean the same thing on another brand?
No. Every manufacturer uses its own numbering, and this is the single most common way to replace the wrong part.
Is the system dangerous while it shows this code?
The panels keep producing whenever there is light, whatever the inverter shows: the DC side can exceed 600 volts even with the unit switched off.
