7.8 Enabling SolrenView Web-based Monitoring
Before SolrenView web-based monitoring can function the inverter must be networked to the
Internet, see sections 6.12 through 6.15 for more details.
As explained in section 6, data logging is one of the main functions of the SolrenView gateway.
This option is turned on with the
SRV Mode
setting. Once enabled, the SolrenView gateway will
periodically update various operational values and send this data to the SolrenView web-based
monitoring service.
If
SRV Mode
is turned on and the gateway is unable to transfer data to the monitoring service
then data will accumulate in a queue on the SolrenView gateway. This queue is stored in
non-volatile flash memory. After a few weeks the data queue will become full and the oldest
data will be lost, so it is important to establish Internet connectivity soon after the inverters are
commissioned.
NOTE:
If a third party monitoring service is installed, SRV mode should be set to off.
NOTE:
Enabling SRV Mode when the SolrenView.com data monitoring service has
not been purchased will result in unnecessary wear and tear on the SolrenView
gateway.

7.9 Viewing and setting the Date/Time
When the SolrenView web-based monitoring service is purchased and functioning, it is normally
not necessary to set or maintain the time on the inverter. The time will automatically be set and
adjusted based on the inverter’s time-zone.
NOTE:
The date is only editable if
SRV Mode
is off.
