DEYE inverter error 01 (F001)

DC input polarity reverse fault

Also displayed as F001 / F01 on some models.

Faultthe inverter cuts its output and the red LED stays solid until the fault is cleared.

The exact meaning depends on your model:

What it means

DC input polarity reverse faultThe DC input from the PV strings is connected with reversed polarity.

Cause: The plus and minus conductors of a PV string are swapped at the inverter's DC input, so the inverter sees reverse polarity.

How to fix it

Check the PV input polarity.

What it means

Cell over voltageA battery cell voltage has risen above the BMS over-voltage protection threshold; the code is shown on the LCD and charging is stopped to protect the cell.

Cause: Cell voltage exceeded the protection limit during charging - typically the inverter/PCS charge voltage is set too high for the battery, or cell imbalance pushes one cell over the limit before the pack is full.

How to fix it

  1. Stop charging and let the battery rest until cell voltages fall back into range.
  2. Check that the inverter/PCS charge-voltage and lithium-protocol settings match the battery.
  3. If the code returns on every charge, contact Deye support.

GB-A HV Battery

BatteryFault

Also applies to:GB-A

What it means

ALARM_ID_SUM_OVER_VOLT_LEV_2Total battery (pack) voltage too high - level-2 protection (manual wording: 'the total pressure is too high').

Cause: Pack voltage exceeded the level-2 over-voltage limit - the PCS charge voltage is set too high for the battery bank, or charging failed to taper near full.

How to fix it

  1. Stop charging and correct the PCS charge-voltage settings for the battery configuration.
  2. If the fault does not clear after the voltage falls, contact Deye support.
