Page 2: Introduction
The E-Maxx operates without any custom setup of the internet router and reports via a publicly available app called OpenHAB. When purchasing an E-Maxx, you need to specify a 1, 2 or 3 phase unit (E-Maxx 1, E-Maxx 2 or E-Maxx 3) and which power supply option you prefer. Power supply options are via a 240VAC to 5VDC plug pack or a 12VDC to 5VDC adaptor which can be powered from the SP PRO’s 12VDC internal supply.
Page 3: System Diagram
SP Pro E-Maxx 12VDC to 5VDC converter As a link between the inverter and any internet enabled modem router, the E-Maxx creates a gateway to run SP LINK from any location. Expandability with many future control and automation options is provided.
Page 4: Unpacking & Inspection
⑥ Power Supply Inlet MOUNTING Use the hook and loop fastener strips to attach the E-Maxx to your inverter or near the inverter. Make sure that all ports of the E-Maxx are accessible. We recommend a mounting position as shown in the picture. Ensure that the strips are clear from any screws and that at least 50% of the louvres are free for good ventilation.
Page 5: Wiring
The E-Maxx can be powered by the approved plug pack or approved DC to DC converter. When using the DC to DC converter, a suitably qualified person should open the SP PRO front panel and connect the 12VDC feed to the input as labelled on the SP PRO PCB and converter cables provided.
Page 6: Operation
No further configuration is required. A red LED indicates that the E-Maxx is hooked up to 5V power. While booting the E-Maxx a solid blue light will appear. This changes to a flashing (heart beat) blue light after the booting process is done and the E-Maxx is running.
Page 7 This access can be granted by the owner through the OpenHab app in the settings menu. Owner The owner is the person who owns the E-Maxx. The owner is the only authority who is permitted to execute commands, e.g. turning on generator, turning lights on / off.
Page 8: Setup For Installers & Owners
Configuration Wizard. Retain the default user name and passwords. Then “configure” each SP PRO. Once all SP PRO units are configured, reconnect each USB cable to the E-Maxx unit and reboot it by unplugging the power lead, waiting 5 seconds and then reconnecting it.
Page 9: Sp Pro Programming
SP PRO PROGRAMMING For normal operation, there is no special programming required within the SP PRO for the E-Maxx to operate. SP PRO ACCESS VIA OPENHAB You can select combined graphs and zoom into each of your site’s SP PRO inverters.

Page 13: Site Access - Creating Users
SITE ACCESS - CREATING USERS You can add a user and give them an appropriate role for each E-Maxx (depends on your role). Select Settings/Site Access.

Page 14: On Going Fees
Unless otherwise agreed, a small quarterly fee will be chargeable after the initial 12 month period to retain access to the E-Maxx. This fee is for Arvio to continue to provide the web service, data storage and offer support and further upgrades and...
Page 15: Security & Privacy
SECURITY & PRIVACY The E-Maxx is designed with a high level of security to prevent unauthorised remote access. For on-going support, the E-Maxx is equipped with the capacity for remote upgrades and the SP PRO inverters are capable of remote programming. This is only possible through Arvio, the software development company, so it is inherently secure.
