DEVICE USED: LAPTOP
Enable the wireless on the device you are using for the commissioning
and search for the network named ABB-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX, where
“X” is an hexadecimal number of the MAC Address (the MAC Address is
indicated on the “wireless identification label” on the side of the inverter).
When prompted, type the PK (product key), including the dashes. Example:
1234-1234-1234-1234 as the network password.

10.3 STEP BY STEP COMMISSIONING WIZARD
10.3.1 STEP 1 - Administrator/User login credentials
• Set the Administrator account user and password (minimum 8 character
for password):
Administrator account can open and view the contents of photovoltaic
site. Additionally, they can make changes to inverter settings. User and
password are CASE SENSITIVE.
• Set the User account user and (optional) password (minimum 8 character
for password):
User account can only read data. It cannot make any changes. User and
password are CASE SENSITIVE.
• Click on “Next” button to proceed to the next stage of the configuration
wizard.
10.3.2 STEP 2 (Optional) - Residential wireless
network connection.
The parameters relating to the home wireless network (set on the router)
that must be known and set during this step are:
IP Settings: DHCP or Static.
If you select the DHCP function (default setup) the router will automatically
assign a dynamic IP address to the inverter whenever it tries to connect to
the user network.
With Static, the user can assign a fixed IP address to the system. The
data which has to be entered in order for IP static address assigning to
take place will appear. Complete the additional fields at the bottom of the
screen (all the fields are mandatory with the exception of the secondary
DNS server).
Available networks (SSID):
Identify and select your own (home) wireless network from all those shown
in the SSID field (you can carry out a new search of the networks that
can be detected with the Update button ). Once the network has been
selected, confirm.
Password: Wireless network password.
Enter the password for the destination network (if necessary) and start the
connection attempt (it will take a few seconds).
• Click on “Connect” button to connect the inverter to the home wireless
network.
• A message will ask for confirmation. Click “Next” to connect the inverter to
the home wireless network.
• Once the inverter is connected to the domestic wireless
network, a new message will confirm that.
The message provides the IP Address assigned by the home wireless
network router to the inverter that can be used each time you want to
access the internal webserver, with the inverter connected to the home
wireless network. Take note of it.
• Click on “Next” button to proceed to the next stage of the configuration
wizard.
NOTE –
D
The IP address assigned may vary for reasons connected
to the wireless home router setup (for example, a very brief DHCP
lease time). If verification of the address is required, it is usually
possible to obtain the client list (and the corresponding IP addresses)
from the wireless router administration panel.
If the inverter loses the connection with the home wireless network, it is
available accessing the Wi-Fi network ABB-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX, where
“X” is an hexadecimal number of the MAC Address.
WARNING –
B
The most common causes of losing connectivity might
be: different wireless network password, faulty or unreachable router,
replacement of router (different SSID) without the necessary setting
updates.
10.3.3 STEP 3 - Date, Time and Time zone
• Set the Date, Time and Time zone (The inverter will propose these fields
when available).
When it’s not possible for the inverter to detect the time protocol, these
fields have to be manually entered.
• Click on “Next” button to proceed to the next stage of the configuration
wizard.
10.3.4 STEP 4 - Inverter country standard, Input
mode, Meter and Energy policy.
Country standard
Set the grid standard of the country in which the inverter is installed.
From the moment that the grid standard is set, you have 24 hours to make
any changes to the value, after which the “Country Select > Set Std.”
functionality is blocked, and the remaining time will have to be reset in order
to have the 24 hours of operation available again in which to select a new
grid standard (follow the procedure “Resetting the remaining time for grid
standard variation” described in the relevant section).
Input mode
-Indipendent
-Parallel
NOTE –
D
See the relevant section of this guide to know how to
physically set the input mode
Meter
-None (installation without meter)
• Confirm the settings by clicking “DONE”; the inverter will reboot at the
finish of the meter test phase (if installed).
• After the wizard is completed, the system will power-on. The inverter checks
the grid voltage, measures the insulation resistance of the photovoltaic
field with respect to ground and performs other auto-diagnostic checks.
During the preliminary checks on the parallel connection with the grid,
the “Power” LED keeps flashing, the “Alarm” and “GFI” LEDs are off.
If the outcome of the preliminary checks on the grid parallel is positive, the
inverter connects to the grid and starts to export power to the grid. The
“Power” LED remains fixed on while the “Alarm” and “GFI” LEDs are off.
READ THE MANUAL –

To address any problems that may occur
during the initial stages of operation of the system and to ensure the
inverter remains fully functional, you are advised to check for any
firmware updates in the download area of the website www.fimer.com
or at https://registration.solar.fimer.com (instructions for registering on
the website and updating the firmware are given in this manual).
ATTENTION –
A
From the moment that the grid standard is set, you
have 24 hours to make any changes to the value, after which the
“Country Select” functionality is blocked and the remaining time will
have to be reset in order to have the 24 hours of operation available
again. To select a new grid standard follow the procedure “Resetting
the remaining time for grid standard variation” described in the
product manual.
ATTENTION –
A
Any inverters installed, or commissioned, in California
after September 8, 2017 must be set to the Rule 21 country code
USA - RULE21 @ 240 single [R21 240sp] or USA - RULE21 @ 208
single [R21 208si].
