It is also useful to know if you need to perform Asset Registration or final End-to-End Data
Checks after physical installation is complete. If so, you will need a User ID/password to log in
to Aurora Vision, and additionally you will need Administrator privileges to access the Aurora
ADMIN tool. See the Commissioning section for details.
2.2 Aurora Logger Installation
1.
Check packaging for all components:
Aurora Logger
Power Supply Adapter
2.
Determine the indoor location of the Aurora Logger. The suggested location is within
17m (50 ft.) of an Internet connection and within 100m (300 ft.) of your inverter(s).
3.
Mount the Aurora Logger. The Aurora Logger Residential comes with flanges with
pre-drilled holes for easy mounting. Both the residential and commercial versions
require a weather protected site. The included power supply requires an ambient
temperature between 0
o
C and 40
o
C but the logger can operate between -40
o
C and
85
o
C.
4.
Connect shielded twisted-pair wire to the RS-485 terminals on the inverter(s). If
there are multiple Power-One inverters, wire the inverters in a daisy chain
configuration. Use a RS-485 data wire with one twisted pair, one ground conductor,
and a shield with drain wire (Belden#3106A or equivalent).
DO NOT USE CAT5/6 CABLE FOR THE RS-485 DATA WIRE.
5.
Connect other end of shielded twisted-pair wire to RS-485 terminals on the Aurora
Logger. Use the table below and the figure on the next page to make the proper
connections.
6.
Connect shielded twisted-pair wire to the RS-485 terminals on the
weather/environmental station. Use a RS-485 data wire with one twisted pair, one
ground conductor, and a shield with drain wire (Belden#3106A or equivalent).
DO NOT USE CAT5/6 CABLE FOR THE RS-485 DATA WIRE.
