Learn about the causes of signal loss in Tigo RSS Transmitters on cool mornings.
Common causes include environmental factors, interference, and hardware malfunctions. Cool temperatures can affect signal strength.
Check the transmitter's placement, ensure it's free from obstructions, and verify connections. Consider environmental conditions.
The Tigo RSS Transmitter is responsible for relaying performance data from the solar array to the monitoring platform. A 'Signal Loss' fault can occur due to several factors, primarily linked to electrical logic and environmental conditions. The inverter may trigger this fault when it detects that the RSS Transmitter is unable to communicate effectively, often due to low ambient temperatures that affect signal transmission or inadequate power supply leading to voltage drops. Ground Fault Detection systems within the inverter can also inhibit operation if they sense irregularities in the electrical system, such as a fault in the wiring or connections.
Users may notice a drop in energy production as reported by the monitoring app, accompanied by an alert indicating 'Signal Loss' from the Tigo RSS Transmitter. The LED on the transmitter may display a solid red light, indicating a communication failure. Additionally, the inverter may show reduced output or status errors related to monitoring capabilities.
Always consult a licensed electrician or certified solar installer when performing maintenance or troubleshooting on your solar system to ensure safety and compliance with local codes.
To avoid future occurrences of signal loss, ensure that the RSS Transmitter is installed in a location with minimal physical obstruction and away from potential sources of interference. Regularly inspect and maintain the wiring and connections, ensuring they are clean and secure. Consider using weather-resistant enclosures for outdoor systems to mitigate the effects of temperature fluctuations.
