Posted March 21, 20196 yr Axpert Aerox 5.2 kw not working witout battery any body help me please see in video https://youtu.be/QhJRTLzKVyQ Aerox 5.2 kw Edited March 21, 20196 yr by mazo78
March 22, 20196 yr That model doesn't exist on the voltronic power website nor inverex website which according to your video is what it says on the screen (I assume it is the brand). Are you sure you don't have a fake? Anyway the newer versions of the Axpert, namely VMIII and King won't turn on without a battery attached. That is why it is sold as off-grid, you have to have a battery. If you don't want a battery the Infini solar is more like what you want.

The Axpert VM II does mention batteryless operation, certainly has no grid tie, but has the older display and doesn't look like this one. The Axpert II (and others) allow paralleling, but don't allow batteryless operation or grid tie and have the older display and looks. The Axpert King seems a closer match to me, but still doesn't have grid tie or mention batteryless operation. The Mustpower PH1800 series have the grid-tie and self consumption feature; maybe this is something that Voltronic Power are learning from one of the clones? Maybe it's a new Voltronic Power model, perhaps requested by Inverex, and possibly exclusive to Inverex (perhaps for a limited time)? Or maybe Inverex have decided to become the latest clone maker (while possibly still remaining an official Voltronic Power reseller??), except it's a clone with extra features?

I thought so too then I looked at the specs and there are several missing features, most importantly 0ms transfer time On 2019/03/23 at 2:44 AM, Coulomb said: Maybe it's a new Voltronic Power model, perhaps requested by Inverex, and possibly exclusive to Inverex (perhaps for a limited time)?

The thing is they don't have ANY hint of it on their web-site. I think it is more likely it is a fake made by a company claiming to be Inverex.
March 25, 20196 yr Author But I bought it from the company's display center He told me that this is a new model Newer versions of the Axpert Aerox 5.2 kw

But perhaps the Axpert Aerox will appear on the Voltronic Power website soon.
March 25, 20196 yr So there are two web-sites of a company claiming to be Inverex: http://www.aptinverex.com/ https://inverexpower.com/ Both do seem to be the same company based on the contact us address. I've never seen any Axpert models that don't exist on the Voltronic power web-site. Even when the King came out it was immediately on the Voltronic web-site. Point being, this is either a "fake" or they are re-badging an Axpert with a new name. Giving it a different name is not unheard of. The MPP Solar are real Axpert inverters and they have a different name. Edited March 25, 20196 yr by Gnome
March 31, 20196 yr Hallo Mazo Where did you buy this Inverter? Price? Interested in buying Axpert King but would like to have a look at the Aerox as well.

April 1, 20196 yr Are you staying in Pakistan or did you import to South Africa? Aerox seems to be good.

He probably brought it in Pakistan, and probably lives in Pakistan. @mazo78 that unit doesn't look like a genuine, or rebranded Axpert inverter. It's a probably a fake knockoff. That being said, most of the Axpert inverters need batteries to work
April 1, 20196 yr Hi @SilverNodashi Can you please PM me again as I was locked in as quest the first time? Would like to find out more on Pylontech batteries
April 1, 20196 yr Hi @Mazo78 Did you manage to get your inverter started? Interested to know if it is as good as on the brochure?
April 11, 20196 yr Hi Mazo , Want to talk to you about this issue . my number is 0300 4055732 from Lahore
June 2, 20195 yr @mazo78 to me it looks like Aerox 5.2 KW is able to run without batteries only if you enable feeding into the grid in the program 08. At the same time, it might need you to set program 01 to SUB or USB. I'm not sure, but it's worth a try: Anyway, if you've been able to solve the issues in the meantime, can you update us on the results, please? Thanks!
June 2, 20195 yr I am Adnan from Pakistn. I am using Aerox 5.2 for the last two months and it really is a mystery to me. as I could not find any voltronics or mpp solar similar models. Yes it can run battery less with or without feeding to grid. It is not a double conversion like king but is a hybrid inverter. I opened mine to take a look inside. It is in warrenty so was not able to take the cover apart. Kindly Coulomb and other try to figure out what this thing is and is it a voltronics made unit. U1 is 72.10 U2 is 01.22 U3 is 88.88
June 3, 20195 yr 9 hours ago, Adnan Idrees said: It is not a double conversion like king but is a hybrid inverter. This brochure from Inverex says it has zero transfer time, implying double conversion: http://www.aptinverex.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Aerox5.2.pdf Yet the manual gives normal Axpert transfer times: http://www.aptinverex.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/APT-AEROX-5.2KW-manual-20190117.pdf So one has to be wrong, and it seems obvious that it's the brochure. This has no doubt fuelled a lot of the confusion. 9 hours ago, Adnan Idrees said: try to figure out what this thing is and is it a voltronics made unit I think it's an Axpert MKS III, i.e, like an Axpert VM III, bit without the "V" (Value line) limitations. So it has the ability to parallel up to 9 units, it has the 450 V MPPT/SCC, and has the latest display with Bluetooth etc ability. But it also has the ability to blend PV and AC-in power, and also to feed (export) power to the grid. These features presumably require certification from testing laboratories, and Voltronic Power don't seem to want to do this on behalf of all their resellers, so maybe that's why this is (at least for now) an Inverex-only product. Perhaps the certification requirements in Pakistan are less, or the authorities turn a blind eye, I would not know. I see no ability in the Aerox menus to select a country code, as is usual with grid interactive inverters. It does look like a Voltronic Power manufactured product; the layout, components, and the numbering on the printed circuit boards are very Axpert-like. 9 hours ago, Adnan Idrees said: U1 is 72.10 That's really surprising. Could you double check this, please? Main firmware version 72.10 is usually for a 5.0 kW PF1 inverter-charger with 64 V option and 145 V MPPT/SCC. I have a copy of a 72.10 firmware, and it doesn't have menu option 08 ("Solar energy feeding to grid configuration"). Is it possible that 72.10 is a typographical error? 10 hours ago, Adnan Idrees said: U3 is 88.88 This is presumably a third processor that handles the Bluetooth etc, and possibly the ability to talk directly to a Pylontech BMS (suggested in some brochures, but we know that sadly the brochures aren't necessarily accurate). I believe that the inductor on its own printed circuit board nearest your thumb in the first photo is the boost inductor for the Solar Charge Controller. This is the first Voltronic Power inverter-charger that I've seen with Urdu (?) characters on a sticker, but presumably that's a customisation for Inverex. Thanks for the internal view photos; these are always welcome.
June 3, 20195 yr Yes U1 is 72.10 . it has no operation logic setting 10 in menu so i think as it can blend solar and utility and the inverter is running so inverex folk thought why not say zero transfer time as marketing tactics. As i talked to couple of inverex guys and they clearly don't know what 0 ms is or any thing about double conversion. When choosing USB in setting 01 it does not take utility when solar is available and always work in hybrid mode using solar first??? Can it be made a pure double conversion by some firmware upgrade by not using grid tie feature??? How to reset these units to factory defaults??? What is this board upside down on the heat sinks, i had not seen this in other axpert models. pic attached Edited June 3, 20195 yr by Adnan Idrees

I'm shocked! 😮 Not. 😐 1 hour ago, Adnan Idrees said: When choosing USB in setting 01 it does not take utility when solar is available and always work in hybrid mode using solar first??? It looks like they did a copy and paste from an Axpert MKS manual. Actually, Axpert MKS II manuals are the same (with different names for some of the modes). It seems that these aren't updated to reflect the ability to combine PV and Utility power. It seems clear however that in this mode, Utility has highest priority for connecting to loads, so I don't understand "When choosing USB in setting 01 it does not take utility when solar is available". 1 hour ago, Adnan Idrees said: Can it be made a pure double conversion by some firmware upgrade by not using grid tie feature??? No, for double conversion it needs a full rated power AC to DC converter. 1 hour ago, Adnan Idrees said: How to reset these units to factory defaults??? Use the provided software. Do these come with WatchPower? 1 hour ago, Adnan Idrees said: What is this board upside down on the heat sinks, i had not seen this in other axpert models. pic attached I believe it's the SCC board, see for example this photo from my 2015 model: The clincher would be if you can see the metal straps heading to the PV connector between the fans (at the bottom of my photo, and at the right side of yours; I can't be sure from your photos). Your SCC board looks a bit different to mine, as mine is one of the last 60 A models they made, and also it's an interleaved buck converter with two inductors. Yours is a boost converter, and seems to have only one inductor.
June 3, 20195 yr Hi @Adnan Idrees I am from Lahore also and considering to buy this inverter .How your experience has been so far specially its batteryless operatoion ? I intend to run 2 1.5 Ton Acs(GREE Inverter based) during daytime only with SUB setting ofcourse there will be no battery I would like to talk to you if you dont mind my number is 0300 4055732 or [email protected] Thanks
June 30, 20195 yr I have just installed two aerox 3.2 and 5.2 inveters , independent for seperate floors both without batteries .Its working fine witout batteries and as the sun starts setteing it also starts sharing load with utility.
