From Ethernet firmware version a0020400 applies
The frequency mode is no longer a separate operating mode. Instead, frequency control is
selectable as a signal source. This means that the operating modes M1 to M7 can now be used in AC
off-grid systems.
A firmware update on a unit in "M8 frequency mode" automatically switches it to the operating
mode "M1 hot water" and "frequency" is set as the signal source.
For more information, see chapter 7 Frequency control.
For settings specific to the different operating modes, please see the chapter "Operating modes".
Under the settings these are accessed on the first sheet "Setup 1/X“ and some of them on sheet
two, "Setup 2/X".
Time zone: The time zone can be set for the time. In addition, summer time is activated for Europe.
Date: The date can be entered in the format dd.mm.yy.
Time: The time can be entered in the format hh:mm:ss.
NTP server: (NTP = Network Time Protocol) As long as the router provides an Internet, the
AC•THOR draws its time information automatically from the Internet. However, the respective time
zone is not specified. NTP-Timeserver-address can be changed if necessary. The factory setting is
131.130.251.107.
With a direct connection from the AC•THOR to the my-PV power meter, there is
no Internet connection. Hence the time cannot be taken!
IP DHCP/static: As standard, DHCP is activated, i.e., the unit will get an IP address from the router
to which it is connected. This only works when the router is configured as a DHCP server. If no
DHCP server is active in the grid or if a static assignment is required, a fixed IP address is needed.
The settings have to fit with the router, otherwise the device become invisible in
the network!
IP address: can only be set when "Static IP" has been selected and there is no direct connection to
the my-PV power meter.
Subnet mask: can only be set when "Static IP" has been selected and there is no direct connection
to the my-PV power meter.
Gateway address: can only be set when "Static IP" has been selected and there is no direct
connection to the my-PV power meter.
DNS server: can only be set when "Static IP" has been selected and there is no direct connection to
the my-PV power meter.
Display duration: the number of seconds elapsing until the display is turned off can be set. A value
between "10" and "250" seconds can be entered.
Display brightness: brightness of the display can be adjusted in ten steps.
