Hi all,
I bought a PIP4048 clone a couple of months ago, buthave only just got it fitted and connected to mains.
I thought I'd try powering it up to test it's all OK.
I've double checked that I've got the AC input / output the right way round (!!),I've tested that there is mains arriving at the AC input, all good. I switch on the unit at the bottom - nothing. No little lights on the panel, nothing. I tried hitting the reset breaker next to the mains input a couple of times for good measure - nothing. I checked/reseatedthe header cable that comes from the mains on/off switch tothe small RS232/USBcircuit board, all good.
I've even hooked up a string of panels to one of the MPPT PV inputs just in case that made a difference.
The only thing I've not done is hook up the battery bank (which is still under construction) - I should at least be getting an AC light though right?
Is there anything obvious I could check or is this a DOA that I need to take up with the seller? (Fortunately I bought it on ebay with paypal so I have some recourse if the seller doesn't play ball...)
Thanks in advance,
John
