(3) When installing the transformer, foreign matter such as impurities and dust must not fall into the cutting surface of the iron core, so as not to affect the performance of the transformer. (4) If the ShineSEM-XA-R is not equipped with an ammeter, no current transformer needs to be installed.
For details, please refer to Chapter 5. 6. Ground terminal To ensure the reliable operation and personal safety of the ShineSEM-XA-R, the ground terminal on the housing must be reliably grounded. Note: Pay attention to the waterproofing of the ground terminal.
Operation and application 3 3.1 ShineMaster4G-X operation introduction You can access the built-in page of ShineMaster - X through static IP or dynamic IP to set or modify parameters of ShineMaster4G-X. Connect PC and ShineMaster - X directly through network cable. The computer IP is changed to 192.168.0.XXX (XXX ranges from 2 to 253).

(2) If the datalogger fails to communicate with the PV inverter and PCS over the failure time, the PV inverter and storage inverter will enter the Failure State and operate at the failure power level. When the communication is re- connected, the PV inverter and storage inverter will exit the Failure State.

Single Phase Adjustment: read Phase A, B and C power of the meter. Adjust the Ÿ power of the PV inverter or storage inverter based on the power and direction of each phase. Note: (1) If set to “Disable”, the adjustment mode is “Total Phase Adjustment” by default.
Note: 1. During idle time, the working mode is set to Standby Mode by default if not configured. Idle time: all time that has not been configured. 2. Overlapping time segments are not allowed. For instance, if Quarter 1 is selected and the first time segment is set to 8:00 am - 10:00 am, then setting the second time window to 9:00 am -11:00 am would be invalid.
Enable (limited): Only the pre-configured client IP addresses are allowed to Ÿ connect to the ShineMaster4G-X server. Less than 3 client IP addresses can be connected and they are configurable. Figure 3- 37 IEC104 settings Note: All meters involved in the power plant relationship should be on the same node.
