Step 7.
Monitoring and Communication
There are currently two ways to enable monitoring to the SunRise.
•
4G Antenna
•
Hardwire to LAN
The first option uses RedEarth’s monitoring hardware and
requires positioning the antenna in a good 4G reception area.
To do this, pass the antenna through the antenna access
point and secure it with the appropriate size gland (available
in parts kit box).
If installing in a closed area i.e. Shed, remember to check the
4G signal with the doors closed as this will affect the strength
of the signal.
Once this is done as well as the start-up procedure, call
RedEarth – Tech Support to confirm its operation.
The second option requires a CAT5 or CAT6 cable with one
end plugged into the customer’s router and the other into the RJ45 port on the monitoring hardware.
As long as the 4G reception is adequate (or properly hardwired to the router) this does not require
commissioning as it is done and tested in factory
NOTE:
Installer login is available in addition to customer logins. Contact Tech support for
information.
Step 8.
Finalising and Handover
Before handing over the system, go through the following items and be sure that they have been
completed.
•
The PV cables have the correct polarity and are correctly connected to the MC4s provided.
•
Grid and EPS cable are tightly connected to the terminals block and have correct phase
rotation.
•
Proper weatherproof seal on the entrance/exit gland from the SunRise
•
The battery terminal connections are tight. (check after transportation)
•
Check that the system operation is correct in all situations.
•
Check screws holding the lid down are in place and tight. Pull on the vents and fans to check
that they are properly attached and will not come loose.
