Task 1: Change System Min SoC to 5%

Recommended

Steps

1

Press any button to wake the LCD

2

Press ⬇ / ⬆ to scroll to Setting → Press OK

3

Scroll to Battery → Press OK

4

Scroll to Min Soc → Press OK

Current value will be displayed and editable.

5

Press ⬇ to decrease to 5%

Each short press decreases by 1%.

6

Long press OK to confirm & save

Hold the OK button until the value is saved (usually ~1 second).

💡

Set Min Soc first, then OnGrid Min Soc. The two are linked — setting them in the right order avoids unexpected behaviour.

Task 3: Change Work Mode from Front Panel

Bypasses scheduler lock

2

Press ⬇ / ⬆ to scroll to Setting → Press OK

Short press ⬇/⬆ to switch between modes.

6

Long press OK to confirm & save

7

Press Return repeatedly to exit

ℹ️

The front panel directly controls the inverter — it's not subject to the FoxCloud Mode Scheduler lock that blocks SoC changes from the app. If the app won't let you change Min SoC, the front panel will.

❓

Why Use the Front Panel?

Troubleshooting

⚠️

Mode Scheduler blocks SoC changes in the app. When Mode Scheduler is active, FoxCloud refuses to write System Min SOC and Backup Cut-off SOC. The scheduler can also stay logically enabled even when it appears OFF in the app.

The three fallback methods when the app fails:

1. Front Panel — Direct inverter control, always works. Instructions above.

2. FoxCloud Web Portal — foxesscloud.com on desktop browser. Can disable a stuck scheduler when the mobile app can't.

3. Open API — Use /op/v0/device/setting/set endpoint with key MinSoc. Bypasses the app entirely.
