Wallace, I can't attest to that particular error code. I can attest that many or most of the original Fronius IG inverters we installed ended up failing and have since been replaced. As a general rule, we advise on installing a new model inverter when old out-of-warranty units fail since the technology has really made vast improvements since the IG days 10+ years ago. Spending time troubleshooting old inverters, sending them out for repair, installing them again, and dealing with other potential problems just isn't worth it in our labor market. It's sort of akin to repairing VCR and DVD players.
