Install the network cable
Step1: Remove the “Plastic Nut”, “Thread Clamp Claw”, and “Sealing Ring” in turn.
Step2: Pass the network cable plug through the “Plastic Nut”, “Thread Clamp Claw”, and “Sealing Ring” (with opening) in the direction as shownin the figure below.
Step3: Fully embed the “Sealing Ring” into the “Thread Clamp Claw”.
Step4: Connect the “RJ45 Plug” to the datalogger and tighten the “Plastic Nut”.
NOTE
Due to limited space, only RJ45 plug without protective shell can be used.
The diameter of the network cable connection end on the data logger is about 3.5mm after it is completely fastened. The network cable is required to be circular or oval, and the diameter of the network cable needs to be greater than 4mm in order to be properly sealed.

Install the datalogger
Connect the datalogger to the corresponding 4-pin COM port of the inverter. A Solis 5K inverter is used here as an example.
Please follow the instructions below:
Install the datalogger:
Step 1: Match the joint, and then insert the datalogger to the inverter COM port. Step 2:Rotate the black ring in clockwise.
NOTE
Only rotate the black ring at the connection end, not rotate the main body.
Install with multiple inverters
If you need to collect data from multiple inverters, please follow the inverter user manual to establish a communication connection with the inverter using the RS485 communication cable in a “hand in hand” manner.
After the datalogger is installed on the inverter, if the inverter is powered on, you need to set the inverter slave address, the default slave address of the inverter is 01, and each inverter on the communication circuit needs to be assigned with different slave address different slave address(like 01, 02, 03, 04…).
NOTE

The device must be installed away from the strong magnetic field produced by large electrical appliances such as microwave oven, refrigerator, telephone, metal walls, etc. Otherwise, the communication quality may be affected. It may also be affected by lighting storm.

LED and Button LED Lights Status:

LED indicators
