After the datalogger is installed on the inverter, if the inverter is powered on, you need to set the inverter slave address, the default slave address of the inverter is 01, and each inverter on the communication circuit needs to be assigned with different slave address(like 01 ,02,03,04 … ).

NOTE

The device must be installed away from the strong magnetic field produced by large electrical appliances such as microwave oven , refrigerator, telephone, metal walls, etc. Otherwise, the communication quality may be affected. It may also be affected by lighting storm.
