Common questions about GB-SL / GB-SL Pro ESS error codes

What is the difference between a fault and a warning on the GB-SL / GB-SL Pro ESS?
A fault puts the unit into protection and stops normal operation — this page lists 26 of them for the GB-SL / GB-SL Pro ESS. A warning leaves the unit running; there are 1 warning codes here. Resolve the cause of a fault before restarting; warnings can usually be cleared while the unit runs.
Which model numbers does this page cover?
The GB-SL / GB-SL Pro ESS shares its firmware and fault table with 13 other model numbers: GB-SL5K-EU, GB-SL6K-EU, GB-SL8K-EU, GB-SL10K-EU, GB-SL12K-EU, GB-SL15K-EU, GB-SL20K-EU, GB-SL Pro 5K-EU, GB-SL Pro 6K-EU, GB-SL Pro 8K-EU, GB-SL Pro 10K-EU, GB-SL Pro 12K-EU, GB-SL Pro 15K-EU, GB-SL Pro 20K-EU. If your unit is any of these, every code on this page applies to it.
Where do these codes come from?
Every entry was transcribed from 081_deye_gb_sl_pro_user_manual_46fa941a.pdf, 010_Download_cc05df18.pdf — DEYE's official documentation. Each row cites its source manual (and page where printed), so you can verify the wording before acting on it.
