Energy data reset, Energy Reset

An energy counter reset means the stored production or energy totals suddenly go back to zero. On FIMER PVS and UNO-DM inverters it shows up as warning W024, Energy data reset, with no LED lit. The manuals say this is not an error. The customer or installer zeroes the partial energy values on purpose, through the internal webserver or the advanced configuration software. The same warning can also appear after someone replaces the memory card that holds the production statistics. On TRIO inverters, holding the ENTER button for more than three seconds in the Partial statistics menu resets the partial time, energy and peak power counters. The inverter records the reset only in its historic event log, so check that log first to see when the reset happened. Energy meters also let you reset the energy registers. They log the reset as an event and store the time and date of the last reset, which helps you line it up with gaps in the monitoring data. If nobody has a record of resetting the counters, ask the installer or owner, and find out whether the memory card was swapped recently.

Claims

observed_as

c1 verified · fact Energy counter drop to zero

On FIMER inverters the stored statistical energy data in EEPROM is zeroed and warning W024 is raised with no LED. On revenue meters, a confirmed reset sets the energy data to zero.

c2 verified · fact Energy reset event log entry

The FIMER inverter saves the reset only in its historic event record. Meters log an Energy Reset event category and keep the time and date of the last reset.
