Status

Also known as
TempSensorErr, Warn0050

The inverter raises a TempSensorErr alarm, also listed as Warn0050, when it detects an abnormal temperature reading. The usual causes are poor contact at the temperature sensor's socket connector or a damaged sensor. One manual also lists a sensor reading of -25C as a possible cause. To confirm it, look at the temperature value on the inverter display and check whether it makes sense. Turn the external AC disconnect off and back on to reboot the inverter, and see whether the alarm clears. If the alarm stays after the reboot, contact the manufacturer's service team.
