Plant”. Then, scan the serial number of the recorder or enter it manually.
Enter the installation information such as location, type of installation,
type of network, and capacity. Users can leave energy prices and surcharges at
their default values as the application takes local values for them. Users
should also enter a name for the installation according to the scheme location
- name + capacity (e.g., Wuxi IGEN 8.1 KW).
WiFi Connection Setup
To connect to WiFi, select the installation and choose the “Connect Again”
option in the devices tab. Select the device and click “Done” to proceed to
the next step. For Android users, the application will automatically detect
the connection to the WiFi network, and users need to enter the WiFi password
to continue the configuration. If the wrong network is selected, users should
select “Switch Network” and search or manually enter the network ID. The
connection will be automatically established under successful login Into the
network. The setup usually takes 3-5 minutes. IOS users, they need to go to
the network settings interface on their iPhone and select the network number
AP_XXXXX(S/N) of the data logger. Then, go back to the SOLARMAN app, and the
logger will start the configuration. If the network with the ID according to
the scheme AP_XXXXX(S/N) cannot be found in the list of wireless networks,
users should reduce the distance between WiFi routers and the DVR to less than
10 meters. Otherwise, a connection error may occur. If users have followed the
above recommendation and the AP_XXXXX network is still not available, they
should refer to the Data Recorder Manual to identify the error or contact
customer service.
