QUICK SETUP GUIDE
Data Collector
Data Collector connects your PV Micro Inverter System to the internet in a simple quick way. It
uses ZigBee wireless radio frequency communication technology to monitor each micro inverter
without additional wiring. Through Web Portal, you can check data on the daily and historical
photovoltaic energy harvest.

Bracket DIN Rail
It is advisable to undertake all the configuration
operations before fixing the Data Collector and
installing it in the same location and position
used during the configuration.
Also choose a place close to a socket
(necessary for power, close to PV
System) and where the lower part of the
device, where all the connections are
present, remains accessible.
To install the Bracket on DIN Rail, please follow the steps below.
1. Clip the top side of the Bracket on the top side of the DIN Rail first.
2. Push the bottom of the Bracket to snap on the bottom side of the DIN Rail.
3. Hang the Data Collector on the Bracket on DIN Rail.
To release the Bracket from DIN Rail, please follow the steps below.
1. Take out the Data Collector from the Bracket on DIN Rail.
2. Insert a flathead screwdriver into the rectangular slot and turn it downward to release the clip
from the DIN Rail.
3. Remove the Bracket from the DIN Rail.
The installation must be done by qualified installers and/or licensed electrician according to the applicable
local regulations.
