Fronius IG Series Inverter STATE codes

Most times your Fronius inverter will give you error messages so you can tell what is going on.  Here is a comprehensive list of all the error codes on Fronius IG inverters

Fronius STATE codes beginning with 1xx

Fronius STATE codes beginning with 1 usually only occur temporarily and are caused by the power from the street (the grid) being outside the inverters operating parameters. The Fronius inverter reacts by disconnecting from the grid and attempts to switch on again after the specified mains monitoring period, as long as no further errors occur during this period. The STATE code is displayed whilst the grid is being checked.

STATE 101Grid voltage beyond permitted limits1. Mains voltage error
2. Incorrect values in the service menu
3. Internal fault
1. Check grid voltage, check circuit breakers are ON

Fronius STATE codes beginning with 2xx

Fronius STATE codes beginning with 2 are messages from the grid monitoring device (ENS) integrated within the inverter and refer to the parameters of the public mains. Some error checks cross over with the STATE codes beginning with 1, however those in service class 2 are of a higher importance and are displayed for that reason.

STATE 208Mains relay does not close in spite of switch on signal

Fronius STATE codes beginning with 3xx

Fronius STATE codes beginning with 3 are error states that can occur during grid feed in operation, however they do not indicate damaged electronics and do not lead to a remaining interruption of the feed in operation. After switching off and passing the grid monitoring period, the Fronius IG inverter will start feed in operation again. In case of a temperature excess additional cooling down phase is maintained.

STATE 305Feed-in process not possible, even though public mains parameter within the limitsInternal faultIf problem persists contact your Fronius Service Partner
STATE 306POWER LOWIntermediate circuit voltage has dropped below permissible threshold value for feed in1. Check panels
2. Internal fault
STATE 307DC LOW1. DC-input voltage is too low for feed in
2. Internal fault
STATE 308Intermediate circuit voltage out of the maximum limit1. Public mains disturbances
2. Internal fault
1. Reinforce mains cable
2. If problem persists contact your Fronius Service Partner

Fronius STATE codes beginning with 4xx

Fronius STATE codes beginning with 4 are error states that require the intervention of a Fronius Service Partner. They are either temporary or lasting and are triggered by faulty hardware or a software problem. Try switching off the Fronius inverter following the system shutdown procedure, leave off for a few minutes then attempt to restart. If the fault continues please contact your local Fronius Service Partner for further assistance.
