  • Page 7: Introduction And Safety

    Equipment – General Requirements: Part 1 ntended use This equipment is a device designed to configure and control a network of ABB MICRO inverters, using radio communication and to supply data relating to the system, using a wireless connection or an Ethernet port, to an internet or local portal for monitoring.

  • Page 8: Available Versions

    The CDD described in this manual is available in a single version suitable for all countries of installation. It is required that the CDD be installed with any MICRO inverter in compliance with UL1741, for the purpose of indication and resetting of ground faults.

  • Page 9: Lan The Installation

    Plan the installation escription of the CDD The ABB MICRO Inverters associated with the CDD can be monitored using the CDD display, the CDD web server interface, or from the Aurora Vision monitoring portal. The CDD display allows simultaneous monitoring of all the associated inverters. The following information can be viewed by navigating in the display menu: •...

  • Page 10: System Integration

    These operations can be carried out using the CDD display or the Web Server integrated in the CDD. When configuring using the Web Server it is necessary to connect the CDD to a PC via Ethernet or Wireless (see configuration and connection details in part 4).
