  1. Thank you for you reply. From what I read in this forum I get to the same conclusion as you🤢 about our inverter. Still beter that Loadshedding😮‍💨 My Batteries are 200Ah Lead acid 2 sets of 12v+12v (series) -->coupled in parallel with one another I did install WatchPower from the appleStore. But even when i stand next to inverter my iphone don't get the bluetouch on the availible devices I can update my ios on my iphone, but I don't think this will solve my issue my firmware as follows Main U1-41-17 Card U2-102-71 Bluetouch U3-00-24 Thanks in advance Carel
  2. Thanks so much. ya yoir right. I just copied from my mail to the supplier. That haven't gotten back to me yet😬 i was planning to add another 3 panels. So i will order them right away My next question would be. I see the BlueTouch Icon on the inverter display, but my Iphone13 don't see to find it in the BlueTouch availible devices. Any advise here? I can add the BlueTouch revision 00-24 Thanks in advance Carel
  3. Hi guys, Hope you guys can help me. I have 2 questions. But lets 1st look at the most important ONE 1st QUESTION 1(The PV shows Voltage, BUT not Watt or Amps) I checked the inverter says MPPT PV 120-450Vdc .. This is 3 x 645W Canadian Solar in Series. During day with a bit of sun on the panels I have (2 x 12V 205ah LA[Lead acid] in series) and another (2 x 12V 205ah LA in series) the 2 series sets are wired parallel on my inverter battery input I also noticed that the solar ICON keeps on flashing. Booklid don't say anything about this flashing of THIS ICON Also at night the Solar Icon is not displayed on the Inverter as I would expect FYI This pictures taken was during load shedding with minimal household items on I also checked after the Day.. No Watt was added via PV Firmware The above was with everything as per default I tried modifying Program Setting 01 = SbU (solar to loads, then Battery) 05 is Still Default AGM battery type (not sure if this should be flooded???)🤔 16 Charger source priority C50 (solar then Utility) Today its raining and cold in CPT, so I cannot give feedback on the changes I tried last night at 18:00 Checked the inverter and still the same.. no Watt, even though I have 137 VDC PV input Thanks in advance Carel
