PE (Ground)	Earth from DB

RS485 A  →  Pin 1 of monitoring device
RS485 B  →  Pin 2 of monitoring device
GND      →  Ground

Monitoring¶

After wiring, connect to the inverter's WiFi hotspot (SE-PRO5K-XXXX) using the Elephantronics app to configure your home WiFi credentials.

Once connected, the dashboard shows:

Fault code history

Troubleshooting¶

Error Code	Meaning	Action
`E001`	Grid voltage out of range	Check utility voltage; may be a grid issue
`E003`	Isolation fault	Inspect panel wiring for ground fault
`E012`	Over temperature	Check ventilation clearances
`E025`	Communication lost	Check WiFi credentials and router

Factory Reset

Hold the reset button for 10 seconds to restore factory settings. WiFi credentials will need to be re-entered.
