Overview
•
Integrated interface.
•
Where to connect: Terminal strip inside the inverter.
•
3-pin wiring.
•
Communication address must be allocated.
•
Multi-string technology.
Pico / Convert inverters are fitted with several MPP trackers: Each string input is monitored separately and ideally
adjusted to the connected modules.
Depending on any parallel connections inside the inverter the Solar-Log™ can read the data from up to 3 individu-
al strings.
During the inverter detection, the Solar-Log™ automatically detects how many MPP trackers are active; only the
active MPP trackers are displayed. The inverter must be feeding data in for successful detection.
•
Installation steps:
• Switch off the inverters and Solar-Log™.
• Connect inverters to the Solar-Log™.
• Connect the inverters to each other.
• Allocate communication address.
Connect inverters to the Solar-Log™
The wiring is done using a
•
ready-made data cable (optional extra; not supplied)
or
•
self-made, shielded 3 wire data cable and terminal block connector.
Procedure
1. Open the inverter as shown in the inverter's instructions.
2. Pull the free wires through the wire opening in the inverter.
3. If you are making the cable yourself, connect the wires as shown in the following diagram:
