1. Use 1~1.5mm² twisted pair with shielding layer ;

2. Strip the protective layer of the communication cable by about 20mm, and strip the insulation
layer of the wires by about 10mm ;
3. Connect the stripped wires to the RS485 port of the S3-Logger device ;
4. If multiple inverters need to be monitored on site, daisy-chain cables can be used for the
inverters. Each serial port of S3-Logger can connect 15 inverters.

Note:
When wiring, RS485A is connected to the A port of the S3-Logger device, and RS485B is
connected to the B port of the S3-Logger device.

7. Configuration
4.Interface config
The configuration function of S3 logger, you can add inverters, EPM (Solis EPM Device),
meteorological meters, meters and other devices through the Add Device. Com1 and Com2
support inverters and EPM devices, Com3 supports meteorological meters, and com4 supports
meters (two-way electric meters can be used to meet the zero injection function).

5.Add EPM and inverter to Com1 and com2.

(1) Click Add Device to select a device type. You can select EPM or inverter
(2) The default device address of the EPM is 1, and the default device address of the inverter is
1-15. If the default value is used, you do not need to consider the second row. The third line
is the rated power of the inverter, which must be filled in.
(3) If the inverter address is not in the default setting, click the number from 1 to 15 based on
the number of connected devices, and manually enter the inverter address in the second row.
Note: The device address entered manually cannot be the same as the default address.
(4) If an error occurs, the configuration content will be confused. You can delete all the
configurations (YES or NO) and restart the datalogger to restore the data.

.15.
7. Configuration
After the configuration is completed, as shown in Figure:

6. Configure the weather meter and electricity meter in COM3 and COM4.
The default device addresses are 1-3. If other addresses are required,
configure them like above inverters

.16.
7. Configuration
7. If you want to view Zero Injection (datalogger + meter) data, you need to add the
corresponding meter information to COM4; otherwise, the corresponding device
information cannot be added to the Zero Injection list. This page is used to display
Zero Injection data. If YES is selected, you can view the corresponding Zero Injection
function data.

Note that after adding the device, it is necessary to restart the device

.17.
7. Configuration
8. "Device data" can view the real-time data of the connected device. At the same time,
the inverter can be remotely adjusted and controlled by "Control and Telecontrol".

Because the meter involves PT/CT ratio and other issues, after adding the meter
information in Interface config, you must set the strain ratio parameters in the Device data
according to the sequence in below figure. For example, if the PT ratio is 10kv to 100v,
100 needs to be delivered.

.18.
7. Configuration
9. “Forwarding service” allows you to set forwarding information.
Supports IEC104, Modbus-TCP, and Soliscloud forwarding, the backflow power and
Zero Injection function can be changed remotely via IEC 104 or Modbus-TCP with
Zero Injection function (datalogger + meter).
