5. Installation
Step1: Install the SIM Card
① Purchase a SIM card and activate the GPRS service.
② Undo the three screws from the EPEVER RTU 2G A.
③ Push the shell upward and take out the circuit board.
④ Take out the small SIM card and insert it into the card slot correctly.
⑤ After installing successfully, reinstall the product shell.
Step2: Install the silicone pad
Tear off the silicone pad's adhesive and stick the silicone pad to the DB9
terminal of the EPEVER RTU 2G A.
Step3: Install the antenna
Connect the antenna to the antenna port of the EPEVER RTU 2G A.
Step3
Caution: As a wireless terminal, keep the antenna away from the human body as far
as possible during the operation process.
Step4: Connect the device
Take the connection with the solar controller as an example.
Connect the DB9 connector of the RS485 communication cable to the
EPEVER RTU 2G A, then connect the ends of the RS485 communication
cable to the master LORA module and the battery separately.
Note: The EPEVER RTU 2G A supports 9~48V DC power. While a larger transient
current is needed when the wireless network sends the data, it is suggested to
adopt a DC power of 12V/500mA or above.
