The Qendercore Hub is a device designed to monitor and manage Soltaro All in One 2 inverters, providing connectivity and data exchange with the Qendercore web portal. It facilitates setup, internet connection, and maintenance of the inverter system.
Function Description:
The primary function of the Qendercore Hub is to act as a communication bridge between a Soltaro All in One 2 inverter and the Qendercore cloud service. This enables remote monitoring, configuration, and management of the inverter system. The hub supports various internet connection methods, including Wi-Fi (Local Access Point, WPS, and manual entry) and Ethernet, ensuring flexible deployment options. It allows users to set up a Qendercore account, link their inverter, and access real-time data and settings through a web interface.
The device features an interactive button and multiple LED indicators (Power, Mode, Connectivity) to provide visual feedback on its operational status and mode. It supports different operational modes, such as Setup Mode, Local AP Mode, and WPS Pairing Mode, each indicated by specific LED flashing patterns.
Once connected and linked, the Qendercore Hub enables access to the Soltaro Maintenance Index, which provides a comprehensive overview of the inverter's status and allows for various operations and settings adjustments. This includes viewing inverter measurements, configuring basic and advanced settings, checking BMS registers, performing inverter operations (like clock synchronization, restoring factory defaults, emergency charge, and storm charge), and reviewing inverter fault codes.
Important Technical Specifications:
While specific numerical technical specifications like voltage, current, or power ratings are not explicitly detailed in the provided pages, the manual highlights several functional and connectivity specifications:
- Connectivity: Supports Wi-Fi (Local Access Point, WPS, Manual Entry) and Ethernet (RJ45 T-568B standard).
- Web Interface: Accessible via
http://qendercore.local/ (Windows 10+ only) or 192.168.89.89 in Local AP Mode.
- Inverter Connection: Connects to the Soltaro All in One 2 inverter via a round "EMS" connector.
- Account Integration: Links to a Qendercore end-user account for remote monitoring and management.
- Security: Wi-Fi connections are secured (password "p1234567" for Local AP). Maintenance access requires a password ("1111").
- Network Protocols: Communicates with Qendercore servers via
ifa.qendercore.com on TCP Port 14601.
Usage Features:
- Easy Setup: The manual provides clear, step-by-step instructions for initial setup, including physical connection to the inverter, account registration on the Qendercore web portal, and linking the hub to the user's account.
- Multiple Connection Options: Users can choose between Wi-Fi (Local AP, WPS, manual entry) or Ethernet for internet connectivity, catering to different network environments.
- Interactive Button: A single interactive button simplifies mode switching (Setup Mode, Local AP Mode, WPS Pairing Mode) with specific press sequences (two short presses for Setup, three short presses for Local AP, one long press for WPS).
- LED Indicators: Intuitive LED lights (Power, Mode, Connectivity) provide immediate visual feedback on the hub's operational status, connectivity, and current mode, aiding in troubleshooting.
- Web-Based Configuration: All configuration and monitoring tasks are performed through a user-friendly web interface, accessible from a computer, smartphone, or tablet.
- Comprehensive Monitoring: The Qendercore Hub allows users to view detailed inverter measurements, including various electrical parameters and operational data.
- Remote Control and Settings: Users can adjust basic and advanced inverter settings, perform operations like clock synchronization, and initiate emergency or storm charging remotely through the Qendercore portal.
- Fault Diagnostics: The system records and displays the last 10 inverter fault codes, along with their date and time, assisting in diagnosing issues.
- Account Linking: A secure process to link the hub and inverter to a registered Qendercore user account, enabling personalized monitoring and management.
- Maintenance Authentication: A simple authentication process (username blank, password "1111") for accessing the Soltaro Maintenance Index, ensuring controlled access to critical settings.
Maintenance Features:
- Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes a dedicated troubleshooting section that addresses common issues such as "Hub is not Powered," "Normal Operation, No Communication to Inverter," "Cannot Connect to Hub Setup," "Waiting for Network Access," "Attempting Connection to Qendercore Servers," and "Hub Connected to Qendercore Servers, No Account Linked." Each issue is accompanied by recommended actions.
- Firmware Upgrade Indication: The "Alternating Flash with Connectivity LED" or "Alternating Flash with Mode LED" indicates a firmware upgrade in progress, advising users not to disconnect or switch off the device during this critical period.
- Authentication Reset: The web interface provides a button to log out and reset authentication, which can be useful for security or resolving access issues.
- Inverter Operations for Maintenance: Features like "Restore Factory Defaults," "Emergency Charge" (to "wake up" dormant batteries), and "Storm Charge" (to fully charge batteries) are provided as maintenance tools for the inverter itself, accessible through the hub.
- BMS Registers View: The ability to view BMS (Battery Management System) registers provides insight into the connected Soltaro Battery's status, which is crucial for battery health monitoring and maintenance.
- Connection Verification: The setup process includes steps to verify internet connectivity and communication with Qendercore servers, ensuring the system is fully operational.
- Physical Connection Integrity: Instructions emphasize ensuring the physical connection to the inverter is firm and the weatherproof gland/lockring are tightened, contributing to the device's longevity and reliable operation.
