I also have a new (7 month old) PAE system with 2-4448 Inverters (stacked) that
we are having some strange issues with. The most troublesome issue is the new
Rheem wall-hung LP instant water heater/boiler is throwing an Error Code 12
which is supposedly a “Flame Failure”. It’s a brand new installation with new
tanks and lines and the gas guys have doubled checked everything. We are now
wondering if it might be related to the power supply. The other indications
that it could be related are flickering lights, a 12V battery charger (AC plug
in type) that won’t work off inverter power (but will when plugged into the
genny, and I’m seeing a little bit of wondering in the Hz on my simple Exeltech
volt meter.
Magnum recommended a run capacitor on the boiler circuit. I installed that on
Friday and still had the error code come up 4 times over the weekend.
Any thoughts?
Best,
Amos
