Accepting the settings

Saving the made settings is indicated by an hourglass symbol on the user interface. If

the DC voltage is sufficient, the data is transferred directly to the inverter and accepted.

If the DC voltage is too low (e.g. in the evening), the settings are saved, but they

cannot be directly transferred to or accepted by the inverter. As long as the inverter has

not yet received and accepted the settings, the hourglass symbol will continue to be

displayed on the user interface. The settings will be accepted when there is sufficient DC

voltage applied and the inverter restarts. As soon as the hourglass symbol appears on

the user interface, the settings have been saved. The settings will not be lost. You can

log off of the user interface and leave the system.

☑ The start page of the user interface opens.
