Check logic connector

The board connector check is a quick look to confirm that the logic connector going to the arc fault detection board is properly seated and secure. It is the first recommended step when a CPS or Yaskawa Solectria string inverter reports an arc board error or an arc protection alarm. One manual lists poor contact or damage of the arc board as possible causes of the arc board error, so a loose connector is a likely cause worth ruling out first. Once the connector is secure, run the arc fault test from the Settings menu on the inverter or in the app. If the alarm comes back after the test, the connector was not the cause, and the arc board or wiring box has to be replaced. Some manuals say this replacement should be done through the manufacturer's service team.
