Page 4: Product Description
Product description Proper usage The IFA router (Internet remote display router) is a part of the Internet-based digital remote display for the visualisation of a solar thermal system. The IFA router enables the display of temperature and performance data of a solar thermal system in your Internet browser window*. In order to be able to display this data, you will need a PC with Internet connection. -
Page 5: Functionality
Functionality The controller cyclically sends the current system data to the IFA router, which forwards the data to a central server. This server then displays the data in visualised form on the Internet. The data is embedded into the appropriate system image in the IFA router and the temperature diagram is generated. The system image and the temperature diagram are sent via the wireless LAN interface from the IFA router to a digital picture frame. -
Page 6: Safety
Safety Dangers during assembly/commissioning The following risks exist during the commissioning of the router and the picture frame: • Danger to life due to electric shock caused by a damaged mains adapter plug. • During work on the controller, the safety instructions for the controller instructions must also be fol- lowed. -
