Re: [RE-wrenches] Outback_Inverter firmware mismatch

Wrenches Just a thought on the mismatch, I have found that i have less issues with my own shielded cat 5 cable instead of the green outback cables, easy enough to make and if you make them they can be routed away from AC fields that may increase the potential Jerry On Sat, Mar 27, 2021 at 6:11 PM

[RE-wrenches] Outback_Inverter firmware mismatch

Wrenches and Lones, We have had chronic inverter firmware mismatch issues with FLEXpower TWO FXR series on many systems. We've updated the firmware and replaced mates, yet the system failures continue. The systems will work flawlessly for months and then randomly show error and the firmware

Dana, You might get some good input from Steve Heckeroth at https://solectrac.com/. as he has been doing electric conversions for years and settled on bigger tractors these days and I believe rototillers in the past. A frequent contributor to Mother Earth News also over the years. Wallace

I have seen a fold up rolling scaffold assembly that would make a maintenance platform solution for you. They're about 3'×6'×6' tall +/- fold up when not in use, sell it as  part of the system. Chris Worcester  chris@solarwindworks.com530-448-9692Sent from my Samsung Galaxy s9. Original

I would ask Fortress about the heights! If this was offgrid and not inspected, I would have signage indicating there is a battery breaker/disco above this sign. If that breaker is tripped, I would think other things may be wrong and only qualified people should re-energize the breaker. That

I have been inside the eVault cabinet and there are exposed terminals starting about 1/3 of the way up the unit. Not a very water resistant enclosure, with a loose fitting cowling. The 250A breaker is only accessible by taking out 6 screws and removing the top compartment cover. Good news is

Re: [RE-wrenches] Batteries and Working Spaces

That's problematic I think. I guess the next question would be, if I need to keep this breaker at 6'7", I don't see that being accessible be someone standing in front of it anyway without a portable ladder, so what height IS acceptable? Also, maybe I don't need to mount the whole battery above
