How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power at the isolator before touching internal wiring.

  • Try a controlled power reset: leave the unit off for 5–10 minutes, then restore power.
  • If F1 reappears, the control board is likely defective and must be replaced and configured by a qualified technician.
