1.2. Introduction

This document describes how to configure the CLX Home product for use with a Danfoss solar
inverter to enable monitoring of up to 3 DLX, ULX, TLX, TLX+, TLX Pro, TLX Pro+, FLX or FLX
Pro 

*)

 inverters from a Smartphone, tablet or PC-based browser.

*) TLX Pro, TLX Pro+ and FLX Pro variants only when the inverters are connected via RS-485 and not us-

ing the master/follower concept.

To install and configure the CLX Home box:

Connect the CLX Home box to the inverter and the internet (safely behind a firewall,
without configuring the latter).

Install the Danfoss SolarApp.

Enter email address and follow the setup procedure described in the Danfoss SolarApp.

For details refer to Chapter 2. When these steps are completed, it is possible to start monitoring
