Awesome, thanks very much, will ask them when they come next week to do software update and bring a cambus cable. I also want them to setup my app so i can monitor on my phone using text to speech.

I had this inverter installed together with the BSLBat 5.4 KWH lithium Phosphate battery, and the inverter is set to the Lead Acid battery type with the correct float and other voltage settings by the installers,. All is working well, and battery runs essential loads during load shedding and charges when AC returns, but When Eskom cuts the grid at the start of load shedding, the inverter switches over immediately to battery but I am guessing there's an over voltage or over current or under voltage occurance, as it makes bad noises on the motors of my microwave and fridge on switch over, and both instances my Denon AV amplifier/receiver was switched on it blew the AC in fuse inside the amplifier (Luckily no further damage) so since I've switched it off at the plug before load shedding starts. Then on two or 3 occasions the inverter cut power to the essential load for about 5 minutes before restoring power, I think it may have tripped out, and I think it's when there's no load on the essential loads when load shedding starts, for example when everything including the fridge is off, but when something is on it seems to not trip out but make funny sounds for 2 seconds on appliances with motors. I took videos as well of the inverter screen just after I hear it click over from when Eskom cuts the grid, and apparently there's no immediate errors that come up, unless it occurs very quickly (I am blind and ask friends to check if anything came up on the inverter screen during the switch over occurance). Now if I switch off the main AC db board switch manually, the transition is seamless, the microwave or fridge doesn't change sound for those 1-2 seconds, and the surround sound amp plays as if nothing's happened and no fuses blow. The installers are hopefully coming to check next week. Has anyone heard of this sort of issue, and why would load shedding grid power cuts cause this and not manual switching off at the DB board? Is there any way the installers will be able to simulate the problem and test current and voltage without waiting for Eskom to cut the power (Although admittedly we don't have to wait for long these days for load shedding).
