Check the inverter and Check the meter direction. Select the battery type. battery status. WiFi Reset & Reload WiFi Reset & Reload function is only used when: WiFi lost connection to internet or cannot connect to PV Master APP successfully. Cannot find “Solar-WiFi signal” or have other WiFi configuration problem. Please do not use this button if WiFi monitoring works well. • WiFi Reset means restarting WiFi module, WiFi settings will be reprocessed and saved automatically. Short press REST button, WiFi LED on inverter will blink for a few seconds. • WiFi Reload means setting WiFi module back to default factory setting. Long press REST button (longer than 3s), WiFi LED on inverter will blink until doing WiFi configuration again.
