Deen reacted to Douw G. Gerber in Axpert Mks IV 5600 corrupted displayHave had this issue with mine since day 1. Well a few days after day 1 (installed in August). I have a RPI with SolarAssistant running which I use to manage my inverter so I never do anything on the device itself. I have just decided to live with it - it doesn't affect the core functioning of the unit in anyway from what I can see.
To remove the unit now and send to Mustek for a repair and being without backup power is way more of a hassle than the display looking wonky. My unit is installed in a room attached to my home so I dont see it anyway 🙂
However, it will be an issue if you have to make changes using the buttons on the device (these touch screen buttons are a k@k idea too btw) as the part of the display that gets corrcupted is what shows your settings etc. However, a cold restart of the system seems to fix it long enough to make the necessary changes if you have to.
As a side note - the 8KVA version that also has this display does not seem to have the same defect. I have a family member with this unit.
I am glad to hear I am not the only guy with the issue. Other than this display glitch, the inverter has been performing flawlessly for the past 5 months.
Whatever you do - don't try and update the software - its not a software issue - I did it when it first happened and I bricked the screen completely LOL - had to take it back to Mustek for a reload - which I have to say was pretty quick - onlly three days without my inverter.
Cheers

Deen reacted to madness_za in Axpert MKS IV (Mecer) - Hubble AM5 settingsNot every battery and inverter will have the correct Comms protocol in place. I have a similar situation with my livoltek battery and Axpert inverter. In my case my installer developed a solution to monitor the battery using a pi. I have a grafana page that shows me both battery and inverter data.

Deen reacted to Coulomb in Axpert MKS IV (Mecer) - Hubble AM5 settingsMy guess is that they'll tell you to install their RIOT device, which seems to be a small external box that translates protocols. You may wish to look up what a RIOT can do for your inverter and battery combination.
