PHOTOVOLTAIC INVERTER

.

’

Position yourself in front of the inverter and check that the home Wi-Fi network signal reaches the position in which the

inverter is installed, by searching for the Wi-Fi network using a smartphone or PC. If the Wi-Fi network signal is present in the position where the inverter is installed, you can proceed with the configuration procedure.

If the Wi-Fi signal does not reach the inverter, it is necessary to provide a third party system that amplifies the signal and takes it to the installation position.

NB: The following procedure can be performed either using a smartphone or a PC.

1. Search for wireless networks, the Wi-Fi card network will be displayed, such as: AP_0502173653

The number indicates the serial number of the Wi-Fi card, which can be verified by checking the smaller sticker on the

lower left side of the inverter.

2. Open a browser page and enter the following IP address in the search bar to access the internal Wi-Fi card web
