1. **Installing the Antennas:**
- To install the antennas, xxxx them onto the Wi-Fi ports located on the rear of the unit.
- Adjust the antennas to be approximately 90 degrees to the base of the unit for optimal signal reception.
2. **Locating the Power Center Hub:**
- It is recommended to place the Power Center Hub as close as physically possible to the PV array to ensure a strong Wi-Fi signal to the microinverters.
- For rooftop PV arrays on wood roof construction, install the unit on the floor nearest the roof and central to the array.
- For roof types like concrete forms or standing seam metal, temporary placement may be needed to establish the strongest signal before permanent installation.
3. **Proximity to the Internet Router:**
- The Power Center Hub can communicate with the router via hard-wired ethernet or Wi-Fi.
- If the Wi-Fi signal between the router and the gateway is weak, consider relocating the router, using an ethernet cable to hardwire the gateway, or installing a third-party Wi-Fi bridge/repeater.
4. **Mapping the Power Center Hub to the PV Array:**
- Remove the serial number label from the back of the unit and paste it onto the same sheet used to map the microinverters during installation.
- Ensure the mapping process is accurate to link the Power Center Hub to the specific microinverters in the PV array.
By following these steps outlined in the manual, users can successfully set up their DURACELL PC-PRO-WIFI Power Center and ensure optimal performance of their solar energy system.
