Setting the time and date
The setting values are continuous, i.e. after you reach the
maximum value, the display returns to the minimum value the
next time key “1” is pressed. When setting the year in the
date display, the year setting value goes up to 2050. It then
returns to 2005.
Clearing the grid feed meter
When the grid feed meter is cleared, the values for “Daily
peak capacity”, “Yield today”, “Annual yield”, “Total yield”,
“Operating hours today”, “Annual operating hours” and “Total
operating hours” are cleared. The required code is “2” and is
entered using key “2”.
Choice of interface and address setting
With the menu item “Select interface“, you can use key “2” to
switch between the RS232 and RS485 interfaces.
If the RS485 interface is activated, you can reach the address
setting by pressing key “1”. You can set the address from 1 to
32 by continuously pressing key “2”. The address then returns
to 1.
The RS485 interface is used to communicate with the
Powador-proLOG. If several inverters are connected to a
Powador-proLOG, each address may only be used once. It is,
therefore, possible to monitor 32 Powador inverters with one
Powador-proLOG.
