Error 2xEAC voltage surge. If the fault persists
Name in the manufacturer's documentation (fault list): AC voltage surge. If the fault persists
[1]
In plain words (editorial)
An AC voltage surge was detected. The manual says to check the AC connection, verify the country setting, ask the grid operator whether a large surge source or irregular load exists near the site, and check that the AC output wire size matches the distance to the grid connection point.
When to call a service technician: If it keeps recurring, contact your installer.
