1 PRELIMINARY NOTES ON THE CONFIGURATION OF THE WI-FI CARD
The AzzurroZCS inverters can be monitored by means of a Wi-Fi card connected to a Wi-Fi network present at
the place of installation. Depending on the model purchased, this card may already be present on board the
inverter or it can be installed at a later date, since all AzzurroZCS inverters are set up for monitoring. In the
first case, it will only be necessary to configure the Wi-Fi card, connecting it to a suitable wireless network, as
shown below. If the Wi-Fi needs to be installed, you will need a qualified installer or technician to correctly
assemble the card.
The following two types of Wi-Fi adapters are available on the market:
Internal Wi-Fi card (code ZSM-WIFI-KIT)
External Wi-Fi adapter (code ZSM-WIFI-EXT)
The two devices, although different in appearance and method of installation and configuration, have the
same function, i.e. to transmit data from the inverter to a web server to allow remote monitoring of the
system.
