This solution eliminates the need for smart combiners which lowers costs. With Ampt communication, system designers, operators, owners, and financiers gain a level of transparency and predictability unmatched by conventional monitoring solutions. This improved system planning and decision-making capability lowers PV project risk and increases return on investment. Copyright 2014 AMPT, LLC.

RS‐485 port Reserved for engineering use Termination switch Reserved for engineering use. Reset button Pressing this button forces the Ampt‐CU to reboot. Restore button This button restores the network settings and password back to their factory default values. See Restoring Factory Defaults on page 19 for more detail. Power LED This green LED is on continuously when the input voltage is above the minimum threshold. Com LED This LED displays boot status. Fault LED This red LED communicates fault conditions. Cable locks Route the input power and communication cables through these guides. Copyright 2014 AMPT, LLC. 11 Understanding the Status LEDs The Ampt-CU has three status LEDs. When input power is first applied to the Ampt-CU, all LEDs are on continuously for several seconds. Then the Com LED flashes amber while software is booting. Once boot up is complete and the Ampt-CU is operating normally, both the Power and Com LEDs are on solid green. Name State Description Power Continuous Green Input power supply voltage exceeds the minimum threshold. Com Flashing Amber Software is booting up. Continuous Green Boot process is complete. Continuous Red When this LED is on solid red after the boot up process, a fault condition has been detected. Cycle the input power. If this LED is still on after the Com LED finishes flashing (during the boot process), then contact Ampt support.

The markings on the bottom of the unit show where to make a hole for the wire grip. Install liquid‐tight wire grip in this area Figure 4: Bottom view of the communication unit 1. Make sure the communication unit is not powered up. 2. Use a drill or punch to create a hole for the wire grip within the marked area. Notice: Drilling outside of the designated area may damage internal electronic components. Figure 5: Drill hole for the wire grip within the marked area 14 Chapter 2: Installing the Ampt-CU 3. Install your wire grip. An example is shown below. Figure 6: Example of an installed liquid‐tight wire grip Copyright 2014 AMPT, LLC. 15 Mounting the Enclosure Connect the hardware as shown in the figure below, or using a similar method, to mount the Ampt-CU enclosure. Figure 7: Mounting hardware for Ampt‐CU Note: The 1‐5/8” washer (number 5 above) is recommended for strut and uneven mounting surfaces. Note: If a vertical pole is used behind the Unistrut, it should be placed near the horizontal center of the Ampt‐CU.

Connect your laptop to the field computer using the Ethernet ports of each device. If using PoE, the PoE injector must be connected between the laptop and the Ampt-CU. 4. Open your web browser and enter the default IP address (http://192.168.1.249:8080/) in the address bar. 5. Complete the fields on the login page a. Login: admin b. Password: password 6. Once logged in, use the menu on the left to: a. Change your password b. Configure network settings c. Set time zone and network time servers d. Manage the layout file e. Setup communications f. Reference the Modbus map g. View string/inverter currents, voltages, power h. Download string data in CSV format - new hardware will not have any data available until it has been online at least a day with a live system. i. Perform a system test j. Enable Ampt support access k. Reboot the system 18 Chapter 2: Installing the Ampt-CU Figure 10: Network Settings Home Screen 7. Follow the onscreen directions for each task. Restoring Factory Defaults The network settings and password can be restored to factory default values by pressing and holding the Restore button during the boot process. If you are using this feature to restore the password, be sure to record your network settings first. See Configuring the Ampt-CU Network Settings on page 18 for more details. To restore the network settings and password: 1. Press the Restart button 2. The LEDs will be on continuously for several seconds. 3. When the Com LED flashes, press and hold the Restore button until the Com and Fault LEDs alternate flashing. 4. The network settings and password are restored and the unit automatically reboots.
