READ ME FIRST

• Note that there is a risk of electric shock when connecting the micro-inverter!

• The micro-inverter heats up during operation! Protect yourself accordingly from burns!
  Before configuring WIFI cloud monitoring, please correctly install the micro inverter, and make it work normally.

• A smart device (smartphone or tablet) with Bluetooth function and Android or IOS system and a wireless network device (e.g. wireless router) that can provide WIFI and Internet service must be available.

• To configure WLAN cloud monitoring, first switch on the Bluetooth function of the smart device.

• Make sure that your smart device uses the same WIFI network as the micro inverter to be configured and that it can connect to wireless network devices and access the Internet in the same location of the micro inverter.

• Make sure that the distance between the wireless network device and the micro-inverter does not exceed 20 m and that there are no or few obstacles.

WIFI Status LED Display

• The blue light flashes after always on = the Wi-Fi cloud monitoring module is waiting for configuration.
• The blue light off after always on = the Wi-Fi cloud monitoring module starts and enters the normal working state.
• The blue light flashes = the network is not configured or the network cannot connect to the wireless network device, or the micro inverter has been deleted in the cloud.
• No light = Wi-Fi cloud monitoring is working normally

Preparation Before Configuration And Use

NOTE: Connect the micro inverter to the WIFI in the immediate distance (<5m) of the router in advance.

1. Download and install the app “KKT. Control” or “Smart Life” by using a smart device (smartphone or tablet) by searching for it in the corresponding Android or Apple App Store.
2. Check that your wireless network device (such as wireless router) is  working properly and connected to the Internet. 600-850-1600-WIFI-Cloud-Monitoring-User-Manual-6.png" alt="WIFI-icon" width="42" height="30" />
3. Connect to the wireless network device with your smart device (“KKT. Control” or “Smart Life” app) at the installation location of the micro inverter. If you can access the internet normally, follow the instructions for configuration and use on the next page.

Questions & Answers

1. WHAT TO DO when the “KKT.Control” App can’t find the micro inverter to be added?
   Check the following points:
   • Check if the WiFi status indicator of the micro inverter is in the “Blue Flashing” state;
   • Check if the Bluetooth function of your smart device is turned on;
   • Check if the signal of the wireless network is good.
   If all this is the case and the inverter is still not found, press the red reset button for more than 5 seconds to reset. After the WiFi indicator light flashes blue again, use “KKT.Control” App to reconfigure the network.

2. WHAT TO DO if I have multiple micro inverters to configure?
   Install all micro inverters properly and make them work normally to generate power, and then operate according to the configuration and use steps. The App can search all inverters to be added at one time and configure them at one time.

3. WHAT TO DO if the SSID of my WiFi network or the password is changed?
   Please reconfigure the inverter according to the configuration and use steps.

4. WHAT TO DO if the WiFi status indicator of the inverter goes out, but the device displayed on the app is not online?
   This means that you can connect to the wireless network device, but you can’t connect to the cloud server. It means that your wireless network device can’t connect to the Internet. Make sure that your Internet is working properly.

5. The installation site of the inverter is temporarily not equipped with a router and no WiFi signal.
   How does App connect the inverter and detect if the inverter is working properly?
   You can use an idle smartphone to open the WiFi sharing of mobile phone signal hotspot for connection, and reconfigure the network connection after installing the router.

6. There are multiple WiFi signals on site. Can we connect with different WiFi signals?
   No, the WiFi connected of the micro inverter and the smart phone must be consistent before the network can be configured.

7. Can App configure the micro inverter in different places? Can I view data in different places?
   You can’t configure the micro inverter in different places, but you can view data in different places.
   The inverter uploads the latest status data to the cloud server every minute.

8. After checking that there is no problem, the App still cannot find the micro inverter.
   Press and hold the inverter red button for more than 5 seconds to reset the inverter.
   After the WiFi indicator flashes again, use App to reconfigure the network.

9. WHAT TO DO if I want to monitor the same inverter on two or more smart devices?
   You can share the inverter with another phone using the share device feature.

10. Will App data be saved?
    Yes, App data will be stored on cloud server. After the network is successfully configured, you can view the data at any time and place.

11. The inverter cannot be connected to the app at night?
    At night, because the solar panel does not generate power, the micro inverter does not have any power input, so it will offline and it is impossible to re- configure the network at night.
