INTRODUCTION
NOTE: All the images, screenshots, figures and graphics reported in this
guide are based on prototypes. The final equipment could have some little
esthetical and functional differences.
This document is a short description and a quick guide for installation and operation
modes of PVI-DESKTOP, which is a remote controller for photovoltaic systems.
Following instructions will guide the end user to a correct set-up and a proper use of
the monitoring and controlling system.
The system is made of two different parts:
•
•
PVI-DESKTOP – which is the effective controller
PVI-RADIOMODULE – which is the optional radio board to install in the
inverter. This part is an option because you can communicate with inverter
via RS485. In that case you don’t need any radio link.

PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
If you want to correctly set-up the communication system you need to perform some
preliminary operations.
2.1
BATTERY CHARGING
First of all the PVI-DESKTOP has an internal rechargeable lithium battery and it is
necessary to recharge it completely. Connect the PVI-DESKTOP to the AC/DC
adapter or to a computer USB port and wait for the led indicator (see Figure 3) to
become green. Charging using AC/DC adapter will be faster.

2.2
INSTALLING PVI-RADIOMODULE
If you want to use radio communication you need to install the PVI-RADIOMODULE
into the inverter. This operation MUST be performed only by trained and authorized
personnel, because of safety reasons.
Quick installation guide and short introduction manual
(PVI-RADIOMODULEtop Rev:1.1)
WARNING: Installation of PVI-RADIOMODULE must be performed only
by trained and authorized personnel. Don’t try to access, install or remove the
board into the inverter for safety reasons. Every unauthorized action will
cause losing of warranty and may cause serious damage or injury.
WARNING: Follow exactly the procedure in order to avoid risks of
electrical shocks.
Following procedure will help you to set the PVI-RADIOMODULE. Follow the
Aurora inverter manual to perform some of this operation (indicated by a *** symbol):
1.
2.
3.
4.
Disconnect the AC from Aurora Inverter, by proper switch, and wait 1
minute. (***)
Disconnect the DC from Aurora Inverter, by using the integrated switch or by
disconnecting the input cables. Wait at least 5 minutes in order to discharge
internal capacitance. (***)
Open the front side of Aurora Inverter. (***)
Remove one of the small plug in the bottom of the inverter (red circled in
Figure 4). (***)
Figure 4 - Bottom of the inverter
5.
Pass the connection cable from the hole in the bottom of the inverter. Pass the
cable inside the locknut and screw the plug to the Inverter chassis.. (Figure 5
and Figure 6)

9.
Fix the board by means of mounting screw. Mounting board incorrectly will
not allow you to screw it.
Mount the external antenna screwing it to the external connector in the plug
(Figure 5).
WARNING: Antenna must be installed by authorized and trained personnel
only. Don't try to remove or change antenna. Every improper use will cause
the lose of warranty.
WARNING: Really take care in the next operations in order to avoid
electrical shocks. Use all personal protection against direct or indirect
contact.
10. Reconnect the DC to Aurora Inverter, by using the integrated switch or by
reconnecting the input cables. Wait until the display unit will be on. (***)
11. Look at the orange led on the PVI-RADIOMODULE,press the button on the
PVI-RADIOMODULE for more than 3 seconds if you don't see it blinking.
Now you'll see the orange led correctly blinking. Use protective gloves in
order to avoid electrical shock.

(PVI-RADIOMODULEtop Rev:1.1)
12. Close the front side of Aurora Inverter. (***)
13. Reconnect the AC to Aurora Inverter, by proper switch. (***)
Now the radio module is ready to be configured and affiliate to your PVI-DESKTOP.
To complete the affiliation see the procedure in the next pages.
2.3
RADIO AFFILIATION
Switch on the PVI-DESKTOP, read the screen and select the proper option. Once you
switched on your PVI-DESKTOP you’ll see the following screen
Click on “Next”.
Using the buttons set date and hour, then click on “Next”

Next
Quick installation guide and short introduction manual
(PVI-RADIOMODULEtop Rev:1.1)
Select the communication channel you’ll use, then click on “Next”.
Set the number of the inverter you want to connect to PVI-DESKTOP, then click on
“Next”.
Select “Scan now”, click on “Next”.
PVI-DESKTOP will scan the radio channels to find the inverters. Remember that PVIDESKTOP will find them only if they are switched on. If, for some reasons, the
inverters are switched off, repeat the configuration wizard switching on the inverters.
The table will report all the inverters found on the radio link. Select your inverter
clicking on “+” or deselect it clicking on “-“. Once you’re sure you selected all your
inverters click on “Next”.
At this point you configured your communication channel and the PVI-DESKTOP
will automatically synchronize all inverters data and will start to collect and record
information.

2.4
HOW TO RECONFIGURE SYSTEM
Sometimes it is necessary to configure again your system, like when you decide to add
to or remove from your plant an inverter. There’s a very user friendly menu that helps
you doing that. You simply have to go on menu “SETTINGS” and choose
“Configuration”. The configuration wizard will start again and you could decide which
inverter remove or add to your communication system.
2.5
SHUTTING ON OR OFF
PVI-DESKTOP has a marked button on the top. Pressing this button you’ll turn on the
equipment. Pressing the button for more than 5 seconds you’ll see a message on the
screen requesting you the confirm for shutting off.
PVI-RADIOMODULE receives power supply from the inverter. It is simply on when
the inverter display is on and off when the inverter display is off.

UPGRADE
PVI-DESKTOP has the capability to evolve continuously. New functions, small bug
fixtures and other upgrades will be released by power-one very often. The equipment
can be updated using USB port, the optional Bluetooth, or directly coping files into the
SD card which contains some part of the firmware. The PVI-DESKTOP maintain a
back-up of the last working firmware to avoid system failures and it is possible to rollback to the old firmware using the menu.
4.1
UPGRADE USING SD CARD
This procedure explain how to upgrade the firmware using the SD card. Follow the
steps to correctly upgrade the equipment:
1.
Shut down PVI-Desktop pushing more than 5 seconds on the ON/OFF button
and confirming on the display.
2. Extract the SD card by pushing softly on it.
3. Insert the SD card on a PC card reader.
4. Check the formatting of the SD card by clicking on the right button and
selecting Properties. Verify that the format is FAT and not FAT32.
5. Open the SD card and you will find several folders (language, theme, etc.),
including the folder 'boot'. If a 'boot' file does not exist, create it.
6. Copy the file downloaded from the Power-One website into the 'boot' folder,
and if necessary rename it "boot.ben”.
7. Remove SD card from the PC being careful to perform the procedure for
safely removing hardware and put it back in the PVI-DESKTOP. Reinsert it
on PVI-Desktop
8. Push the ON/OFF button.
9. Navigate the menu to select the firmware update.
10. Clicking next PVI-DESKTOP will begin the update process.
11. Once you have read and loaded the new software a request for selection will
appear on the screen. From this screen you can decide whether to install the
new firmware, return to the previous version, or cancel the process and keep
the current firmware.
Quick installation guide and short introduction manual
(PVI-RADIOMODULEtop Rev:1.1)
Wait until PVI-DESKTOP concludes the installation process to see the menu
automatically reappear.
The procedure requires few minutes. You'll see a 'Boot...' screen appearing, just wait
that PVI-Desktop has concluded the procedure. Your PVI-DESKTOP is now upgraded
to the last firmware version.
