Manual
Attach the DRM 0 safety label
According to AS/NZS 4777.2:2015, in Australia PV devices are marked that support
the "Mode 0" remote control command.
1. Attach the supplied safety sticker next to the name plate on the device housing
where it is clearly visible.
2. Please note the Powador-protect application note in the download area on our
homepage. Here you will find the corresponding "Demand Response Modes"
listed in the chapter "Referencing for power control".

While a gateway to the Internet, a data logger and one instance for the higher-ranking power control are generally suffi-
cient in smaller systems, larger systems must be divided into separate network segments because there are certain limits
with regard to the number of manageable nodes for monitoring/control.
This figure shows a potential alternative for multiple segments. Depending on the local circumstances, it may be more fa-
vorable to position the components differently (e.g. positioning the segment controller centrally and connecting
the segment switch via glass fiber cable).
Located directly after the Gateway VPN-Router, is the main network switch via which the segment con-
troller is connected in. With the corresponding system size (distance from main network switch to the seg-
ment controller >100 m), it may also be necessary to connect in segments that are further away via a glass fiber
connection.
