GENERAL FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
This remote control with touch-screen-display for the digital sinus inverters of the DSW series and the solar controllers of
the MPPT
plus
+
series allows for comfortable operation in addition to individual adjustments and permanent monitoring of
your system.
In addition to the visual control of the most important parameters during running operation, you have the
possibility to store the collected data on a commercially available SD card and evaluate this on your computer, if required.

(FB-05)
.
FUNCTIONS
With the remote control FB-04 up to four devices may be controlled and monitored.
To operate two or more inverters or
solar controllers with only one remote control FB-04, you must first connect the single devices using an appropriate USB
cable.
Then, an individual address is assigned to every single device.
The assignment of the addresses is being done on the inverter respectively on the solar controller using DIP-switch.
Please refer to the instruction manual of the respective device.
When using more than once device, please make sure that different addresses have been assigned
,
in order to avoid malfunctions of the remote control!
CONNECTION AND START UP
Connect the remote control FB-04 using the supplied cable to the corresponding socket on your inverter or solar
controller. As soon as the two devices are connected, the remote control is ready for use. The remote control will be
supplied with the required power by the connected device. In addition, the remote control FB-04 is equipped with an
internal storage battery to save date and time.
The FB-05 must be connected using the enclosed USB-RF stick with the respective interface on the device to be controlled
