Common problems
Device not communicating with inverter
Check RS485 wiring (D+, D-, GND) and ensure the terminating resistor is correctly installed if required.
Cannot access settings menu
Ensure you are using the correct factory default password: 2633.
Incorrect energy readings
Verify that the phase (L) and neutral (N) wires are connected to the correct terminals and that the current transformer orientation is correct.
Before use
- Ensure the main circuit breaker is switched off.
- Verify the DIN rail is 35mm.
- Check that wire cross-section is within limits (max 25mm² for measuring input).
- Have the Fronius Solar.start app installed on your mobile device.
- Ensure you have the necessary credentials for the Fronius system.
Specs in practice
- Nominal Voltage
- The device operates on a 230V single-phase system with a tolerance of -30% to +20%.
