4. Silicon reference sensors

The reference cells need to be mounted in the same
plane as the PV modules.

The cables are connected to the terminal block. Insert
the terminal block to the analog unit.

Connections:

Orange

Black

Signal -

5. Computer

Connect the ethernet cable to COM1 for local area
networks. The other port (COM2 / 3) can be used for
a peer to peer connection with a PC.
