Also known as
Door Switch Open, Open Enclosure Door

This symptom means a door on an inverter or equipment enclosure was opened, often while the unit was running. On the SMA Sunny Central CP-XT it shows up as error 9008, which means doors were opened during operation, and SMA advises contacting its Service Line. Battery enclosures such as the Tesla Megapack report it through a door switch point in SCADA when one or more doors are open. Check first that the door status reading is correct when the door is actually open and when it is closed, so you can rule out a faulty door switch or status indication. Before anyone opens an enclosure door, complete the site door access checklist so that site communication and lockout of circuits are done first. The procedures for opening an enclosure door warn of arc flash risk, and some equipment manuals list conditions in which the doors must not be opened at all.
