Quick Start Guide
Solar-Log MOD 485
Introduction
This quick start guide is intended for use by solar energy technicians, professional electri-
cians, and Solar-Log Base users. Installation and commissioning of the individual components
should only be performed by properly trained specialists. Be sure to fully read and understand
all instructions in this manual before installing, operating and/or servicing the device.
Please observe!
Disconnect the power of the Solar-Log Base before plugging in/out the bus
connector and before connecting the module with the Solar-Log™.
Assembly
The Solar-Log module MOD 485 is manufactured according to protection class IP20 and
is only suitable for installation in dry, dust-free indoor areas. The assembly itself can be carried
out both via wall mounting as well as on a DIN rail. Power is supplied via the bus system by the
Solar-Log Base.
Module Solar-Log MOD 485 connection and mounting
Take one of the 2 bus connectors included in the scope of delivery. The bus connector is
plugged into the back of the Solar-Log Base.
Take the second bus connector and plug it into the back of the Solar-Log MOD 485.
To complete the HBus connection, plug the two bus connectors together.
Now the connected housings can be snapped into the DIN rail.
Follow the short instructions Solar-Log Base.
Can only be used with Solar-Log Base firmware 6.x or higher.
