Monitoring
Sunsynk battery monitoring is easily accessible via the Sunsynk Connect and Sunsynk Connect Pro Cloud apps. Sunsynk inverter systems use the CANBUS protocol to maintain continuous communication with connected batteries. To enable monitoring of battery functionality and performance, a data logger must be properly connected to the inverter and to WIFI, and a site plant must be created via the Sunsynk Connect or Sunsynk Pro Cloud apps. For detailed instructions on the Sunsynk Connect or Sunsynk Connect Pro Cloud App and setting up system monitoring, refer to the Sunsynk Connect or Sunsynk Connect Pro User Manual on sunsynk.org
The following illustrations show how to register, create a plant for a site and monitor a battery online with ease.
Data Logger Installation
1
Insert the Data Logger into the DB9 interface of the inverter, as shown in the following figure.
2
Insert the two screws that come with the Data Logger trough the holes, and then tighten them with a Phillips screwdriver, as shown in the figure below.
Connecting to Wi-Fi
To connect the data logger to the Wi-Fi you need to go to the Wi-Fi setting on your device and search for it. You will see an available connection with the SSID ‘EAP-*****’ (‘*****’ are the last 5 digits of the serial number on the data logger).
1
Select the correct connection and then enter the password 12345678.
2
Once you have connected to the EAP connection, you need to connect it to your own Wi-Fi. To do this, open the Internet browser and search the IP address 10.10.10.1.
3
Once connected, click ‘Scan’ to search the Wi-Fi List and you should then see your Wi-Fi connection.
4
Select your Internet / Wi-Fi connection, enter your password, and click ‘Connect’.
5
Once your data logger is connected to your Wi-Fi, you can then disconnect from the data loggers EAP connection and connect back to your usual Wi-Fi connection.
Network Cable
1
Use a flat-blade screwdriver to press the buckles on the left and right sides of the shell, as shown in the following figure. Then extract the DB9 interface part manually.
2
Pass the network cable through its specific hole at the bottom of the shell. Then, insert the RJ45 plug into the RJ45 socket, and place the sealing plug with the hole on the network cable, as shown in the figure below.
