- Also known as
- Flash Fault, Faulty Monitoring Unit
A flash memory failure means the flash storage on the inverter's monitoring board has run out of space or has developed bad sectors or blocks. On Huawei SUN2000 inverters it appears as alarm 61440 with Minor severity, shown as Flash Fault or Faulty Monitoring Unit depending on the model. If the alarm persists, replace the monitoring board or contact Huawei technical support.
<!-- review notes
- sentence 1: support check: partial - Causes (insufficient flash, bad sectors/blocks) are stated, but the passages do not define the failure as being specifically on the monitoring board's flash, though the fix implies it.
- sentence 2: support check: partial - Alarm 61440, Minor, and both names are stated, but 'depending on the model' is not stated in the passages, and the passages don't tie each name to specific models.
- sentence 1: review: partial - Insufficient flash memory and bad sectors or blocks are stated, but tying the flash to the monitoring board is only implied by the remedy (replace the monitoring board).
