Hi Wolf,
My PIP4048MS I bought some years ago from MPPSolar on EBay has just came up with error 90 some time during day time. Did you find a solution?
I am currently using Coulomb's Beta Version of Patched Firmware 73.00a.
Maybe upgrading to 73.00B will fix this problem.
UPDATE: I just updated the firmware to 73.00b and the error 90 disappeared. The inverter works but the solar charge controlller does not. WTF.
