NOTE: The battery of the device has an automatic decharge operation also with device turned
off. It is advisable not to leave the device switched off for over 6 months and to fully recharge it
after a long period of not using it.
5.3 START UP
Once the preliminary operations (paragraph 4.1) have been carried out, the initial start up of the
communication system can proceed.
NOTE: in case of radio communication, it is advisable to carry out the association with the
inverter at the chosen installation location. In case of procedure failure it is advisable to repeat
the operation near the inverters to make sure to have a proper stable radio signal.
5.3.1 INVERTER ASSOCIATION
For proper PVI-DESKTOP system start up ensure that the Aurora inverter is correctly configured as
reported in paragraphs 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.
• Switch on the device using the ON/OFF button.
• Set the current date and time.
• Set Bluetooth name (BT version only)
• Select the communication channel to be used: radio or RS485.
• Select the number of inverters to be associated with the PVI-DESKTOP system (from 1 to 6).
• Select how often the inverter polling (questioning/refresh) must be done (from 1 to 15 minutes).
NOTE: when in operation the PVI-DESKTOP system is not continuously connected with the
inverters, but from time to time is in data gathering, equal to the polling period set. The polling
period therefore represents the granularity with which data are requested to the inverters,
displayed and saved in the memory. It is also possible to impose the data display update using
the button “update” at the bottom right corner (data requested using this procedure are not
saved).
• Scan the communication channel to search for inverters or choose to defer the operation to a later
time.
• If it is deemed necessary to carry out the scan, the PVI-DESKTOP will begin to interrogate the various
addresses until it has found a number of inverters corresponding to the one set in the configuration
process. During scanning, a screen showing a table with an indication of the scanning status will
appear. The table will only be filled at the end of the scanning procedure.
• At the end of scanning, the table will report the models and serial numbers of the inverters found.
