2.2.2 Horizontal data collector installation
Lay the data collector on a flat surface.
Note1:
The protection level of the PV data collector WIFIKIT is IP21. It cannot be installed outdoors or
where conditions of damp, dust or corrosive steam are present. Direct sunlight should also be avoided, as
well as protection from shock and pressure. In addition, as metal components have an effect on the
wireless signals, the antenna of the PV data collector (in all directions) should be positioned away from
metal components by at least 10cm.
Note2:
When securing or adjusting the antenna position, please note that only the metal part can be
drilled, plastic part cannot be drilled, or the antenna will be damaged. In addition, the improper installation
will affect the usage of data collector; more details please read the part 2.5 about the abnormal condition
during debugging and solutions
