The control must be activated through the inverter, and the meter must be deactivated. This is done through the display in the Feature Parm menu. First, open the Feature Parm menu as follows:
Use the display further from the Feature page to activate the control, following the steps below:
The meter must be deactivated. The control will be taken over by the SmartgridOne Controller. Therefore, the meter should not be connected to the inverter but to the SmartgridOne Controller. To deactivate the meter in the settings, follow these steps:
The address of the inverter can also be set through the display.
Faster scanning The SmartgridOne Controller starts scanning from address 1 by default. Choosing a lower address will make your inverter be found faster.
Multiple inverters If you have multiple inverters then it is important to set the parallel addresses, each inverter should have a different address.
