Anti-rejection Settings
This step is required no matter what the network situation is.

7.1 Anti-rejection setup

Step 1 Click Advanced Setup- Anti-rejection setup
Notice
Default: Anti-rejection Function: ON

Step 2 If anti-rejection function is required, select Enable , set inverter number,

CT ratio and power.

27
 User Manual

Inverter Number Instruction

Inverter number: 10, and click save. (Set according to actual situation on site.)

CT Ratio Setup Instruction

If CT is 200/5A, please enter 40 and save.
After CT ratio is set, the logger will automatically send the ratio to the meter after
restarting, and the power and energy displayed on the meter screen will be
converted into the real value multiplied by the ratio. However, the original value
transmitted by the meter to the logger through RS485 is still the original value
without ratio conversion, so after adding the plant, the meter data is still the
original value in the "Device Details".

Power Setup Instruction

Set power according to actual situation. (Default: 100W.)
E.g. If you set 100W, which means inverter adjustable production power is 100W
less than load power and will continue to buy 100W from the Grid.
If you set 0W, which means all inverter production power is used for load and
grid-tie power is 0W.
(Due to there is a certain time difference between the power reduction
command issued by the logger and the power reduction command executed by
the inverter, it might encounter the situation of the fluctuation of actual grid-tie
power when the inverter power is set to 0.)
If you set -100W, which means inverter production is used for load and there is
still 100W for grid-tie.
Please Note: If the inverter load power is less than min. production power, the
surplus power will go on grid.
