Solar regulator flashing

[Casper46]

We are at the Steam Fair, Driffield. We have a Victron Inverter, 1500W. We only use it for porridge and frozen veg. I put it on this morning and it bleeped continuously with a faulty light on.
The solar regulator is flashing and I can’t fathom what it’s telling me, can anyone interpret it please.

Not familiar with your type of controller but the images suggest battery 1, presumably you habitation is discharged. If the 12.1v is batt 1 then it's at about 50% which for standard battery is effectively flat hence inverter alarm as that has inadequate current or charge.

It's telling you the hab battery is all but flat and solar isn't charging.
The bleeping is under-voltage warning.
If you have a multimeter check battery voltage at the battery terminals
The number 6 at top left may be a controller fault code.
Possibly Err 6, Err 7 - Remote battery voltage sense failure. ..

That’s not 6, it’s b charging profile selected.
As stated low voltage on batt. 1

Thanks everyone. We have 3 habitation batteries 2 standard, 1 new fitted by SAPs it's difficult to think that we have flattened 3 batteries.
We charged everything up on Friday before we left hom.we haven't had tv or radio on, we tried the kettle on electric via inverter just once to see if it worked. The inverter is not left on standby. I'll send the photos to Mick tomorrow, luckily we are only 30 minutes away from him.
Hopefully it can be sorted before we set off to France.

New battery can be dragged down by the older faulty one, if older one has stopped holding a charge.

Very quick look at manual for you controller the battery is simply denoting battery so you know you are seeing details of the battery voltage and its other settings. Pressing buttons you should get to a P setting which will show if there is a voltage output to the controller from your solar panel.

Thanks I’ll get my glasses on and have a look.
The motorhome Is less than 12 months old, so the original 2 batteries should be ok. That’s not to say that Carthago had them in stock for ages before fitting them.

Thanks, Kannon Fodder told me how to check the solar input and I have a friend who will check the batteries for me.
