Operation Manual
1. Assembly
Before placing into operation it is essential to read the assembly instructions provided with the
device and the ELWA manual.
2. System requirements
The ELWA Modbus Interface can be used with all ELWA devices with firmware Version 1.30 or
higher. Devices with serial numbers lower than 120100160810xxxx are equipped with earlier
firmware versions.
To update the ELWA firmware a USB Interface is required. The update is not possible by
using the ELWA Modbus Interface.
If the ELWA Modbus Interface is used in combination with the Smart-Home System
LOXONE, the "Loxone RS485 Interface" and not the "Loxone Modbus Interface" has to be used,
otherwise Bus conflicts may occur.
The latest software packages are available at www.my-pv.com.
