When connected to Fronius Solar.web, the real-time and archived data of a photovoltaic system can be easily accessed via the internet or the Fronius Solar.web App. No difficult configuration is required. Data is sent automatically from Fronius Datamanager 2.0 to Fro- nius Solar.web.
Fronius recommends on-site testing to ensure that the connections meet the minimum re- quirements. Since Fronius Datamanager 2.0 acts as a data logger, no other data logger may be present in the Fronius Solar Net ring. Only have one Fronius Datamanager 2.0 for each Fronius Solar Net ring.
Notes regarding The Fronius Datamanager 2.0 plug-in card and Fronius Datamanager Box 2.0 are radio certification equipped with a wireless module. Wireless modules in the USA require FCC certification: This device conforms to the limit values for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC regulations.
