Preliminary operation
The inside of the inverter may only be accessed after the equipment has been disconnected from the grid and from the photovoltaic generator.
- Turn off the inverter by physically disconnecting the AC and DC voltages, as well as any voltage connected to the multi-function relay.

Wait the time need to discharge stored energy on the inverter and use safety clothing and/or personal safety devices
- Open the inverter front cover.
Antenna installation
The antenna must be installed outside the inverter in place of a service cable gland (size M20)
- Remove one of the M20 service cable gland of the inverter (using a 25mm
wrench) and preserve the plastic lock nut.
- Pass the antenna connection cable into the inverter by passing it through the M20
cable gland opening, the gasket, the plastic lock nut and the adaptor (If used).
- Afx the antenna bulk head connector to the inverter using the plastic lock
nut previosly removed (tightening torque 5Nm). In some inverter models it is
necessary to use the adaptor kit (see annex A) due to the greater thickness of
the inverter enclosure. In this case, proceed as follows:
- Install the gasket on the adaptor
- Afx the adaptor to the inverter using the plastic lock nut of the adaptor kit
(tightening torque 5Nm).
- Pass the antenna connection cable into the inverter by passing it through the
M20 cable gland opening, the adaptor, the gasket and the nut.
- Afx the antenna bulk head connector to the adaptor (tightening torque 5Nm).
- Screw the antenna on the support
Use only antenna type RF Technology Corp. Model EA-79 F RP SMA,
or a similar type having equal or lesser gain
WIFI card installation
- Take the antenna cable and connect this to the coaxial counterpart present on the WIFI card.
During this step, pay special attention that the terminal of the antenna cable is correctly aligned with the counterpart.
Do not make pressure on the terminal if it is crooked.

- Install the card by tting the connection terminals in the dedicated connector located on the inverter board. The connection on the inverter board can be compo-
sed by one or two different connectors (see the table on the “Annex A” paragraph) depending of the inverter model.
During this step, check that all the terminals are correctly aligned. Any terminal misalignment may result in damage to the WIFI board and/or to the inverter.

FCC (Federal Communications Commission) WARNING
1. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation
2. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are desig-
ned to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
3. RF Exposure. This device complies with Part 2.1091 of the FCC Rules for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with
a minimum distance of 20cm between the antenna and the user.
Refer to the specic section describing procedures how to integrate and use this device into the host xed mount inverter.
Changes or modications made to this equipment not expressly approved by the Manufacturer may void the FCC authorization to operate this equipment.
The identication label contained on the WIFI LOGGER CARD box have the information of the device and manufacturer.
In the manual and/or in some cases on the equipment, the danger or hazard zones are indicated with signs, labels, symbols or icons.
