3 Codes

CODE 18x8F Severity: High Difficulty: Advanced

DC Isolation Resistance Low

Error 18x8F indicates that the inverter's Residual Current Monitoring Unit (RCMU) detected an insulation resistance between the DC PV array conductors and protective earth (PE) below the safety threshold (typically <600kΩ on residential systems). The inverter halts grid injection to prevent electric shock or fire hazards.

CODE 18x86 Severity: Critical Difficulty: Advanced

AFCI DC Arc Lockout

The inverter's internal Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) detected high-frequency electrical noise characteristic of a series or parallel DC arc fault. Per UL 1699B safety standards, the inverter ceased power generation and engaged a permanent software lockout until manually inspected and cleared.

CODE 3x8A Severity: Critical Difficulty: Advanced

DC Arc Fault Detected

The integrated Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) detected high-frequency electrical noise characteristic of an electric arc in the DC string circuit (UL 1699B compliance). The inverter has ceased power export and opened internal safety contactors to prevent thermal escalation or fire hazard.
