CONFIGURATION, SETTING AND 
COMISIONING

 

The slave number of the String can be identified as ID SS: “X” where “X” is the slave number configured in 
the rotary switches located in the String Supervisor boards. 
 
Each String Supervisor has an ID, so in an installation with several, in order to recognise each of them by 
the inverter, they will have to be set differently. 
 
Therefore, before energizing the String Supervisor, the two rotary switches inside the device must be 
configured. In order to do so, open the front cover and handle these selectors.  
 
The left wheel sets the lower value; the right wheel sets the higher value. As said before, each String 
Supervisor must be identified differently in sequence modifying the position of the switches. The 
codification is hexadecimal.

A detailed list of all the necessary parameters for the configuration of the system is available in the 
Software and Programming Manual of the solar inverter. 
 
The following gives an overview of the steps required for this configuration. If required by the user, 
additional information for some steps is available in Software and Programming Manual of the solar 
inverter.  
 
Power Electronics recommends prior reading and complete understanding of the Software and 
Programming Manual of the solar inverter for the proper adjustment of parameters of both the inverter and 
the String Supervisor.
