HESP three-phase hybrid (HESP H3/SH3 8-12 kW); code not listed in the single-phase HESP table
SRNE 16 error code
Slave chip OFF request fault (AuxDSpReqOffPWM): an internal auxiliary controller requested the PWM stage to shut down.
Likely causes
- Internal control-board fault
- Firmware corruption
- Hardware failure in the auxiliary supply
Checks to run, in order
- 1Restart once and see whether the fault clears
- 2Record the firmware version
- 3Check whether the fault appears immediately at power-up
Fixes
- Restart once
- Have the distributor reflash or replace the control board
When to escalate
This is an internal hardware/protocol fault and always requires distributor or SRNE service; do not attempt a field repair.
Fix it with the right tools
Check the system around the fault before replacing parts: load, battery bank, PV string and commissioning settings. If you need a second opinion, send the code and your inverter model to our team.
Before you open the inverter
- Isolate both the AC and DC sides, then confirm the display is dead before touching terminals.
- Use insulated tools and one hand where possible. DC arcs do not self-extinguish like AC.
- If you see burnt terminals, swollen cells, leaking electrolyte or a burning smell, stop and escalate instead of resetting the fault.
Questions installers ask
What does SRNE 16 mean?
Slave chip OFF request fault (AuxDSpReqOffPWM): an internal auxiliary controller requested the PWM stage to shut down.
How do I fix SRNE 16?
Restart once Have the distributor reflash or replace the control board
When should I escalate SRNE 16?
This is an internal hardware/protocol fault and always requires distributor or SRNE service; do not attempt a field repair.
Can I reset SRNE 16 myself?
Only after isolating the AC and DC sides and running the checks above. If SRNE 16 returns immediately, stop resetting it and escalate; a repeating fault usually points to a real circuit, battery or hardware problem.
Which models show SRNE 16?
SRNE 16 is documented for HESP three-phase hybrid (HESP H3/SH3 8-12 kW); code not listed in the single-phase HESP table. Confirm the code on your own unit's display or manual before ordering parts.
More SRNE error codes
- SRNE 01Battery undervoltage alarm: the battery voltage has fallen below the [Batt. Under volt. alarm] value under Battery Setup, and the alarm does not by itself stop the output.
- SRNE 02Battery discharge average current overcurrent, detected by software (BatOverCurrSw); the inverter limits or stops discharge.
- SRNE 03Battery not connected (BatOpen): the inverter cannot see a battery on the DC side and stops the output.
- SRNE 04Battery undervoltage stop-discharge (BatLowEod): the battery has reached the low-voltage cut-off and the inverter has stopped discharging.
- SRNE 05Battery overcurrent detected by hardware protection (BatOverCurrHw); the inverter shuts the output down.
- SRNE 06Charging overvoltage protection (BatOverVolt): battery voltage rose above the over-voltage cut-off and charging was stopped.
