Hello

I have a Kodak VM III connected to 2 x pylontech UP5000 showing Error 61 but that error 61 does not appear in the manual. What does it mean.

Thank you.

It is actually an error code found in the Axperts that offer PYL or other lithium battery Comms. It's a Communication error. Happens when you have menu 5 setup to a Lithium battery setting and the inverter cannot communicate with the said battery. What it does do is disable charge and discharge. Because the logic is that your communication cannot be established so the inverter basically goes into a safety mode of stopping input and output. 

To my knowledge, the Pylontech uses the RS485 port of the battery. If you by mistake use the CAN RJ45 port you will pick up this error or if your cable is not crimped correctly it will also produce this error. 

Ok I see that you are using a VM3 so this is not applicable to you but users that have parallel options like on the King or the MKS3 and later models. One inverter is set to PYL on menu 5 and the other is set to USE settings. The one that is actually connected to the battery must have the PYL setting. It doesn't matter if it's the Master inverter or Slave. 

Maybe this helps someone else with this dreaded error.
