What it means

GFDI grounding touch failureThe GFDI circuit reports a failed grounding contact. The manual notes this code has hardly ever appeared in the field.

Cause: The GFDI circuit detected a failed ground contact, so the ground-fault protection path is not intact.

How to fix it

Restart the inverter; if the code persists after the restart, contact your installer or Deye service and provide the inverter serial number, the installation date and the displayed error code.

What it means

GFDI grounding touch failureThe GFDI circuit reports a grounding-contact failure.

Cause: Bad contact in the GFDI grounding path prevents the ground-fault protection from working properly.

What it means

GFDI_Relay_FailureGround fault detector/interrupter (GFDI) relay failure.

Cause: In a split-phase (120/240Vac) or three-phase (120/208Vac) system the backup load port N line is not connected to ground, so the GFDI relay check fails.

How to fix it

  1. When the inverter is in a split-phase (120/240Vac) or three-phase (120/208Vac) system, connect the backup load port N line to ground.
  2. If the fault still exists, contact Deye for help.

What it means

DC/DC Converter 2 Start FailureDCDC2_START_Failure - the BUS voltage cannot be reached by PV or battery.

Cause: DC/DC converter 2 failed to start because the internal BUS voltage could not be built up from the PV or battery input.

How to fix it

Switch off the DC switches and restart the inverter.

What it means

Cell under temperatureCell temperature fell below the protection limit; charging is inhibited until the pack warms up.

Cause: The battery is in an environment colder than its rated charge/discharge temperature window.

How to fix it

Warm the installation space and wait for the battery to return to its operating temperature range; charging resumes once the cells are warm enough.

Also applies to:GB-A

What it means

ALARM_ID_OVER_DIFF_TEMP_LEV_2Excessive temperature differences across the pack.

Cause: The temperature gap between measurement points exceeded the level-2 threshold - uneven heating/cooling of the cabinet or a drifting sensor.

How to fix it

  1. Check the battery is evenly ventilated and not partially exposed to a heat source; let temperatures equalize.
  2. If the code returns, contact Deye support.
