6.1.3 Cable connections Up to 20 inverters can be connected to the remote display. Communication between the remote display and the inverters takes place using a wired connection over an RS485 bus. More information is provided in the inverter manual. Function 6.2.1 Operating buttons...
Commissioning Note No specific sequence needs to be followed when connecting the power supply to the remote display and the data cables between the remote display and the inverters. Power supply The power supply must satisfy the following conditions: ✔ Rated voltage: 12 V ± 20 % ✔...
Basic settings A number of basic settings must be performed on the newly connected remote display. This is done via a guided commissioning process. The following applies: • The guided commissioning process starts when: – basic settings have not yet been performed and the remote display is switched on for the 1st time.

7.3.3 Entering the number of inverters and the addresses of the inverters In the next step you must enter the number of invert- ers and the addresses of the inverters in a list: 1. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select the num- ber of inverters.
Page 12
7.3.4 Country setting Note Setting the country also defines the local regulations for feeding electricity into the mains grid. In accordance with the grid feed safety regulations, the country can only be set once and cannot be subsequently changed. The remote display queries all inverters for the countries that are currently set and all countries that are supported.
When the power supply is connected to the remote display it first displays the start logo and then the System daily yield screen. If a malfunction exists then the Steca logo remains visible. System daily yield The System daily yield view provides an overview of the current state of all inverters.
Main menu Pressing the SET button in the System daily yield or Inverter daily yield screens will bring you to the main menu. You navigate through the menu entries using the UP and DOWN buttons. Pressing the SET button displays the submenu of the currently selected main menu entry.
Page 15
9.1.2 Yield The Yield submenu allows you to display the yield of the entire system or individual inverters. You can select different time periods: • System total • System year • System month • System day • Inverter total • Inverter year • Inverter month • Inverter day An hourglass symbol is displayed if not all information...

System month This menu item displays the summed yield of all invert- ers for the selected month. The yields for each day of the selected month are displayed as a bar chart. The number of days in the month are taken into account (30, 31 or 28/29).
Inverter month This menu item displays the yield of the selected inverter for the current month. The yields for each day of the selected month are displayed as a bar chart. The number of days in the month are taken into account (30, 31 or 28/29).
Page 18
Language A list of languages supported by the remote display is displayed. The current language is selected. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to browse through the lan- guages and select one of these using the SET button. Country The country currently set for the connected inverters is displayed.
Inverter Addresses This menu item allows you to set the number of con- nected inverters and define their individual addresses. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to set the desired address value. Pressing the SET button confirms the value and moves to the next setting. The number of inverters must be set first.

Errors/Warnings This menu item allows you to display the last errors logged for the System or Inverter. 9.5.1 System All currently logged remote display errors are shown here in a list. Both confirmed and non-confirmed er- rors are listed. You can use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll through the list.
Messages 11.1 Error messages Error messages are generated either by the inverters or the remote display and are displayed as follows: 11.1.1 Error message types There are 3 types of error message: • Type Information I The inverter has detected an error that does not affect the feed-in process. The user must take action to correct the error.

11.1.3 Inverter error messages Perma- Error message Description Type nent Grid voltage too The mains voltage of one or more phases at the inverter exceeds the per- missible value. The inverter must not feed into the grid. high Contact your installer. ...
Page 24
Perma- Error message Description Type nent The inverter cannot or may not feed the grid at full power because the Derating: 10 average output voltage over a period of 10 minutes has been outside the minute average value > 30 min permissible tolerance range for over 30 minutes.
11.1.4 Remote display error messages W: <XX>% below average daily yield The test for low yields takes place at midnight (0:00 hours) each day. The following ap- plies: • The daily yield of each inverter is compared to the average daily yield of all inverters. • An alarm is triggered if an inverter has a yield greater than 0.001 Wh but less than the defined threshold value.
