Re: PIP-4048MS and PIP-5048MS inverters

Is there a setting I can use where the load i.e. the supply to the house is supplied from the batteries when the generator is running and in theory still charging the batteries. No. The utility charger in these models uses the inverter in reverse, so the AC-in source has to power the loads. Perhaps...

Re: PIP-4048MS and PIP-5048MS inverters

Good morning all, I'm hoping one of you can answer a question. I have 2 paralleled pip-4048MS in an off grid setup along with 6kw of panels and 36Kwh of batteries. My question relates to my back up generator, which is 5kva. Is there a setting I can use where the load ie the supply to the house is su...

Re: PIP-4048MS and PIP-5048MS inverters

Voltages of 56.4 bulk and 54 float are close to what I have had my flooded set to and they are 6 years old now they are showing their age and I only have 8 x T105 225Ah so half of your banks with two 4048s The specs for flooded trojans T105 is for equalization at 62v periodically the pips can not d...

Re: PIP-4048MS and PIP-5048MS inverte

Hi Solamahn, System is 2P8S, thanks for your settings, I have been dropping the float when we leave, I think I’ll turn the fridge off also to reduce the amounts of cycles. The fridge would not normally be a problem with that size system. Your battery bank is small at 400Ah so you would have to be m...

Re: PIP-4048MS and PIP-5048MS inverters

I use 58.4 for bulk and 56 for float in cold weather. 55 in warm weather and 54 when away. You should have your 2 batteries in parallel and then series 2P8S. Also check for battery cell voltage balance at full every now and then. Also set LVD at 48 and back to grid at 49. Back to battery 53 Hi Sola...

Re: PIP-4048MS inverter

While typing this I wonder if this problem could be I had the slave highlighted in watchpower. That does seem to be the most likely explanation. Tested out today, still not showing a reading with either selected. 2 weeks ago I connected another 3kw of panels ... is the charge light would illuminate...

Re: PIP-4048MS inverter

Good afternoon all, Been running a second 4048 in parallel for a couple of months now, a couple of minor issues I have noticed. Since connecting the second unit the pv input is not recording anymore in watchpower. Up until 2 weeks ago my system was 3kw of panels connected to the master unit, paralle...

Re: PIP-4048MS inverter

[ Edit: Error 71 means "Firmware version inconsistent". You have to have the same or "compatible" firmware revisions in the master and all slaves. If the version numbers are identical in the first four digits (e.g. 72.70 on one and 72.70A on the other), then they are definitely ...

weber wrote: Sat, 03 Feb 2018, 15:41 What happens if you disconnect the master from the battery and start up only the slave? Does it still have a fault?
Hi Weber,
I tried that and it didnt work, but for whatever reason it is working now.

Re: PIP-4048MS inverter

Good afternoon all, Welcome. Set up the master no issues, as soon as I turned on the slave it alarmed and the fault light came on. So both are independently set to PAL mode (setting 28)? Is there any fault codes you can access? When the fault light is on, and the "ERROR" indicator is on t...
