Rev. 1.0

• ‘Detected AC modules’ is larger than ‘Installed Number’.

• Follow the checklist below:

Make sure that the number of installed AC modules is accurate in the activated system.

Select [Detected AC Module–Edit]. Then bring up the installation map where all of the MAC

addresses are attached. Compare it with the list in the app. Find and delete the one which is

not in the installation map. Then save it to be updated.
