Deye F22: Emergency Stop Fault
F22 (shown internally as "Tz_EmergStop") is an emergency-stop / hardware protection fault. The inverter has tripped a protective shutdown. Sometimes it is triggered by an external emergency-stop or grid-control signal; often it points to an internal protection that your installer should check.
What can trigger F22
- An external emergency-stop or DRM signal. Some systems wire an emergency-stop button or a grid demand-response (DRM) device to the inverter. If it's engaged, the inverter stops.
- A wiring issue on that control port (loose or incorrect connection).
- An internal hardware protection tripping, which needs professional diagnosis.
What to do, safely
- Check for an emergency-stop device. If your system has an emergency-stop button or DRM connection, make sure it isn't pressed or engaged. Release it if so.
- Do one safe power cycle. Turn off the AC breaker, then the DC isolator, wait 5 minutes, restart both.
- If F22 returns, stop. Don't keep resetting a protection fault. Contact your installer with the code and model.
When to call a professional
F22 is a protection trip. If there's no engaged emergency-stop device and it returns after a restart, it points to an internal fault. That needs your installer or Deye support, not repeated resets.

FAQ
I don't have an emergency-stop button. Why F22?
Then F22 most likely reflects an internal protection trip rather than an external signal. A single restart can clear a one-time glitch, but a returning F22 should be inspected by your installer.
Is it safe to keep restarting it?
No. Repeatedly clearing a protection fault defeats its purpose. Restart once; if it comes back, get it checked.
