Geo Solo PV reading 0.01kW when inverter is off

[GaryM]

I've just noticed that my Geo Solo PV monitoring unit is displaying a generation of 0.01kW (10W) even though the inverter has shut itself down the the night.
I've looked at the Landis + Gyr meter and it's displaying a constant red LED which is being monitored by the Geo's optical reader.

Is this normal and to be expected?

I've not seen this happen on our devices. I'm looking at mine now and it is firmly fixed at zero.

I have installed over 100 hundred Geo monitors and probably even more in remedials to customers having problems since November and this has happened only once and funnily enough it was on Thursday last week.

One portion of the power speedo was illuminated even when the system was off and showed 0.01kw.

I did a full reset/restore and re-paired the handset and it did the trick.

Hope this helps.

Failing that call Geo helpline on 08455-197226 and they can sort you out.

Just a small note though, alot of people put batteries in the back of the monitor and then plug in the adaptor also.

Please dont. It screws the whole handset. End of moan.

I did a re-pair and it did seem to do the trick. Hasn't displayed a small generation when the inverter has been off since.
I do have both batteries in the back and the AC adaptor plugged in though. I'll remove the batteries.
