Connection of multiple VarioString
When several VarioStrings are interconnected by the communication bus and to the same battery,
if the DIP switch is used, it is imperative that the DIP switch settings are consistent among the
VarioString. The following table shows which DIP switch positions should be identical when more than
one VarioString is connected together.
Position
Function
1
Activation of DIP switch (of authorized by {14174})
2 to 4
Configuration of battery cycle
5 to 6
Reserved
7 to 8
Configuration of cabling of PV modules
Only the configuration of the cabling of the MPPT inputs can be different from one VarioString to
another. The battery charge cycle should be configured the same (one common battery for all the
VarioStrings). The battery charge cycle will therefore be automatically synchronized in all the devices.
Blockage of the DIP switch
Settings defined by the position of the DIP switches may be inhibited (disabled) with parameter
{14174} using the remote control RCC-02/03. The VarioString's operation will then be defined only by
the parameter values set by default or by the RCC remote control.

ISPLAYING THE EQUIPMENT STATUS USING THE REMOTE CONTROL
8.2.1 Displaying the status of a single unit system
The VarioString screen allows displaying six values in real time. Four
values (a) can be chosen among many measured and calculated
values indicated in the table below and two show the status of the
auxiliary contacts (b) (these fields are visible even if an ARM-02 is not
present).
8.2.1.1
Choosing the displayed values
To choose which values to display, press the SET button to enter the first field which will appear with
a black background.
To modify the field content, use the SET button; then by using the arrows, consult the various
displayable values and select them as permanently displayable values in the related field by
validating with the SET button.
When no other value than the one initially displayed in the field is selected, ESC key validates the
initial choice.
The four fields can be scrolled and modified any time to display four of the values indicated in the
table below.
