I recently installed the Luxpower inverter without panels yet. Everything seems to be working fine however, my problem is the frequent amount of time the fan triggers for about 2-3 minutes every 30-40 minutes, and it is sometimes irritating as I have it installed right in the living room because I have I live in a 3 bedroom with no closed garage so I had limited options. To try and resolve this I have opted to override the invertor by powering the house from Eskom (I do not mind this as I only need the inverter when there is load shedding until I get panels). On top of this, I have made modifications to my "Charging Settings" on the LuxPower App so that the charging happens mid-midnight when everyone is sleeping but I do not know if I got this right because even though the battery is 99% when I wake up, the fan still triggers every 30-40 minutes.

Is it advisable to have everything off for now since there is no load-shedding and have it one when load-shedding is back or can I adjust some settings to assist with this issue?

Do you have comms between the battery and inverter or are you setup in lead acid mode?

Yes, there is comms. It is a Lithium battery and there is a CAT 8 cable connected between the battery and the inverter

and all the necessary settings and dip switches correct?

can you share a pic of the default display of the inverter?
 
I suggest setting your start and end times on options you don't use like the time 2 and 3 options to 00:00 for both start and end times ; that means do not use.

Also set your EPS voltage to 230 and frequency to 50hz

For some reason the setting doesnt exist on the mobile app, you have to do it from the web page. Remember on the web page to click the read button and wait for it finish before setting anything.
