1 PRELIMINARY NOTES ON THE CONFIGURATION OF THE WI-FI CARD The AzzurroZCS inverters can be monitored by means of a Wi-Fi card connected to a Wi-Fi network present at the place of installation. Depending on the model purchased, this card may already be present on board the inverter or it can be installed at a later date, since all AzzurroZCS inverters are set up for monitoring. In the first case, it will only be necessary to configure the Wi-Fi card, connecting it to a suitable wireless network, as shown below. If the Wi-Fi needs to be installed, you will need a qualified installer or technician to correctly assemble the card. The following two types of Wi-Fi adapters are available on the market:

Internal Wi-Fi card (code ZSM-WIFI-KIT)

External Wi-Fi adapter (code ZSM-WIFI-EXT) The two devices, although different in appearance and method of installation and configuration, have the same function, i.e. to transmit data from the inverter to a web server to allow remote monitoring of the system.

The Wi-Fi card, whether internal or external, must be installed by an installer or technician who is specialised and able to carry out the procedure described in this document. In particular, the internal card requires the opening of the front cover of the inverter, an operation which, if not carried out correctly, can cause damage to people, objects or the inverter itself. The configuration of the Wi-Fi card, whether internal or external, requires the presence of a Wi-Fi network near the inverter in order to obtain a stable transmission of data from the inverter to the Wi-Fi modem. The configuration can be done by means of a smartphone, PC, tablet or any other device that can be connected to a Wi-Fi network. The configuration procedure can be performed at any time, as long as it is near the inverter at the time it is switched on. It is also required to know the password of the modem to which you want to connect the Wi-Fi card.

2.1 PROCEDURE FOR INSTALLNG AN INTERNAL WI-FI CARD The installation of an internal Wi-Fi card is only required for single-phase AzzurroZCS 1-3K TL and 3-6K TLM photovoltaic inverters not equipped with a Wi-Fi card (the 3000SP storage inverter always comes with an internal Wi-Fi card).

1) Switch off the photovoltaic inverter by first disconnecting the AC line via the appropriate wall switch and then the DC line via the appropriate wall switch.

2) Unscrew and remove the four Allen screws on the front panel of the inverter using a suitably sized key.

Figure 2 – Position of the four Allen screws securing the front cover

3) Lift the front cover of the inverter using a screwdriver if necessary to lever the aluminium casing open; during this operation, be careful not to move the front cover too far from the body of the inverter, as it is still connected via the flat cable.

4) Lift the cover up as far as the flat cable allows it, and open the hooks connecting the flat cable to the terminal on the inverter’s communication board, so that both the cable and the front cover can be removed. Be sure to correctly open both plastic hooks before removing the cable.

5) Insert the Wi-Fi card into the dedicated slot on the communication board, also marked by an outline

of the card, as show in the following image.

Figure 4 – Location of the Wi-Fi card on the communication card

Make sure to first insert the two plastic connectors in the slots positioned at the top, and then match the pins of the Wi-Fi card to the bottom slots. Press the card lightly to make sure it is mounted properly.

6) Pass the antenna connected to the card through the cable gland on the bottom of the inverter, after loosening the ring nut and removing the rubber stopper inside; finally, make sure the antenna is stable by rotating the ring nut in the opposite direction. If during this operation, the cable connected to the antenna detaches from the card, connect it again by placing the two connectors on top, and exerting a slight pressure, as shown in the following image.

7) Reconnect the flat cable in its seat and close the two plastic hooks, making sure that they close

properly. Place the front cover in its original position and secure it by rescrewing the four Allen screws that were previously removed.

8) Start the inverter in the regular way as described in the manual, supplying first DC voltage and then AC voltage via the wall-mounted switches.

2.2 PROCEDURE FOR CONFIGURING AN INTERNAL WI-FI CARD Go to front of the inverter and search for the Wi-Fi network using a smartphone or computer, to make sure that the signal from the home Wi-Fi network reaches the place where the inverter is installed. If the Wi-Fi signal is present in the location where the inverter is installed, you can start the configuration procedure. If the Wi-Fi signal does not reach the inverter, it is necessary to install a system that amplifies the signal and brings it to the place of installation. 1) Search for any wireless networks in order to display the network of the inverter’s Wi-Fi card, which is:

AP_0805925180. The number indicates the serial number of the Wi-Fi card, which can be checked by referring to the smaller label located at the lower left side of the inverter.

2) Open the browser and enter the following IP address in the search bar to access the web server inside the Wi-Fi card: 10.10.100.254

3) For both the username and password, enter: admin

Figure 36 – Screen for accessing the configuration page of the Wi-Fi card

The following page will open:


4) Make sure that “Remote Server A” is configured to “Pingable.” 5) In the Wireless STA mode section, check that there is an actual IP address and not

000.000.0.000. 6) Check that the router name (SSID Router) is actually the one you are connected to (not the

default name AP_SOLAR_PORTAL_) and that the signal percentage (Signal Quality) is greater than 30% and however different from 0%.



www.zcsazzurro.com

of 38

If one of the above three conditions is not met, the configuration process has not been successful, maybe because the wrong router password was entered or the device was disconnected during connection.


However, if all these conditions have been met, the Wi-Fi card of the inverter has been correctly configured and is ready to monitor the system.

6) If at the end of the previous checks and subsequent configuration, the Remote server A is still configured to “Unpingable”, then it is very likely that there is a problem of transmission with the home network and, in particular, that the data between the Wi-Fi card and the server is not being transmitted correctly. In this case, it is advisable to carry out checks at the router level in order to ensure that there are no obstructions on the output of data packets to our server. To make sure that the problems lies in the home router and to exclude problems with the Wi-Fi card, configure the card by using the Wi-Fi hotspot function on your smartphone as a reference Wi-Fi network and not your home wireless network.

Using an Android mobile phone as a modem

a) Check that the 3G/LTE connection is active on your smartphone. Go to the Settings menu of the operating system (the gears icon on the screen with a list of all the apps installed on the phone), select “Other” from the Wireless and Networks menu and make sure Network Type is set to 3G/4G



www.zcsazzurro.com

of 38

b) Open Settings and go to Wireless & networks > Tethering/portable hotspot, and turn ON “Wi-Fi portable hotspot;” wait a few seconds for the wireless network to be created. To change the name of the wireless network (SSID) or your access key, select Configure Wi-Fi hotspot.

Figure 39 – Configuration of an Android smartphone as a hotspot router

• Using an iPhone as a modem

a) To share the iPhone connection, verify that the 3G/LTE network is active by going to Settings > Mobile Phone, and make sure that the “Voice and data” item is set to 4G or 3G. To enter the iOS settings menu, click the grey gear icon in the phone’s home screen.

b) Go to settings > Personal Hotspot and tap the slider to turn it ON. The Hotspot is now enabled. To change the password of the Wi-Fi network, select Wi-Fi password from the personal hotspot menu.

Figure 40 – Configuration of an iOS smartphone as a hotspot router

At this point, it is necessary to re-configure the Wi-Fi card using a PC or smartphone other than the one used as a modem. During this procedure, when you are asked to select the Wi-Fi network, you must choose the one activated by the smartphone and then enter the password associated with it (which can be obtained from the settings of the personal hotspot). If at the end of the configuration the word “pingable” appears next to “Remote Server A”, then the problem depends on the home router. It is therefore advisable to check the brand and model of the home router to which you are trying to connect the Wi-Fi card; some router brands (Vodafone, Fastweb, Infostrada) may have some communication ports closed. In this case, contact the customer service of the router’s manufacturer and ask them to open port 80 (direct from the network to external users).

5 PROCEDURE FOR REGISTERING ON THE AZZURROZCS APPLICATION 1) Go to PlayStore on your Android device or the AppStore on your iOS device and search for the

“AzzurroZCS” app with the following icon, and then install it.
