This manual contains information specific to the installation of an Enecsys Double Repeater. Although the installation is simple a basic knowledge of internet routers, wired or wireless may be beneficial although not necessary. Installation of the Enecsys Double Repeater is a 'plug and play'. Enecsys have designed the hardware to be a simple as possible for the installer and enduser alike. Your solar PV (photo-voltaic) installation, when combined with an Enecsys Micro-Inverter with its in-built wireless antenna is able to communicate wirelessly with the Gateway. This allows for comprehensive monitoring of the solar PV array, module-by-module. Monitoring an array module by module enables the user to see energy generation at module level. Monitoring also allows the end-user to see the performance of any module at any time of the day. An Enecsys Double Repeater acts as a bridge between the Micro-inverter and the Gateway in situations where a sufficient communication link cannot be established. For circumstances where it may be necessary to install an Enecsys Double Repeater, See“When to install an Enecsys Double Repeater” on page 5. 1.

All rights reserved. • The distance between the micro-inverters and the wireless antenna is too great. • A roof may be made out a metallic material or be a foil insulated. FT Depending upon the house construction and build materials it may be necessary to add an Enecsys Double Repeater in order to provide stable communications between the inverters and the Gateway over a long time period. An Enecsys Double Repeater is used in situations where a Single Repeater is unable to provide the Gateway with a strong sustainable communication link. The Enecsys Double Repeater acts a bridge between the Micro-inverter and the Gateway, improving the communication link and providing an uninterrupted flow of information between the two devices. Certain building materials can prevent a strong signal from being established in the communication link. 1.5 When to install an Enecsys Double Repeater The Enecsys Double Repeater provides a ‘hop’ between nodes in a network. The Enecsys Double Repeater is used to allow communication between the Micro-inverters and Gateway where the propagation losses are too high for a reliable communication link, particularly where metallic structures prevent RF propagation. There are various implementations of Enecsys Double Repeaters, more than one Enecsys Double Repeater can be used to cover larger distances. An Enecsys Double Repeater differs from a Single Repeater in that two antennas are used. One antenna can be connected via coaxial cable to an external antenna, positioned on the roof, close to the inverters. The second antenna communicates with the Gateway located in the house. D FT FT FT FT FT Intelligent Reliable Power FT FT FT FT FT FT FT Enecsys Double Repeaters are employed to improve the communication link between the inverters and the Gateway. The Enecsys Double Repeater is a 'plug and play' device; it is quickly and easily installed. The Enecsys Double Repeater should be installed within the roof-space of the building and positioned within easy connection distance of a mains supply AC power source. 2.

In each case the Enecsys Double Repeater should be installed in a location where it is unlikely to be moved, indoors, away from heat sources and out of direct sunlight. If choosing a free standing Enecsys Double Repeater installation simply place the Enecsys Double Repeater within reach of a power source. It is recommended that the Enecsys Double Repeater be placed as high as possible within the building such as the loft space. FT FT FT FT FT FIGURE 4.
