4 SYSTEM INSTALLATION
When all the preliminary steps (see § 3) have been carried out, the initial start up of
the communication system can proceed. For proper initial start up follow the
operations indicated in the following paragraphs scrupulously.
1) Inverter configuration and device switch on
• Check that the PVI-RADIOMODULE is correctly installed (see the PVI-
RADIOMODULE manual) if you want to initialize radio communication.
• Check that the Aurora inverters in your photovoltaic/wind plant are turned on.
• Check that the addresses for the RS485 ports are all different (they do not
need to be sequential).
• Check that the RS485 wiring is correct and inserted if you want to initialize
RS485 cable communication.
2) Switching on the PVI-DESKTOP and inverter association
• Switch on the device by pressing the ON/OFF button and follow the
instructions that appear on the display, select the desired values and click on
next.
• Set the date and current time.
Please note that you can change the setting at any time through the "Settings -
Date - Time" menu.
• Select the communication channel: select the box corresponding to the
communication channel that will be used (Radio or RS485).
• Select the number of inverters that will be connected to the PVI-DESKTOP
(from 1 to 6).
• Select how often you want a data read refresh. The time is selectable from a
minimum of 1 minute to a maximum of 15 minutes.
• Scan the communication channel to search for inverters or choose to defer the
operation to a later time.
