2PRODUCT INFORMATION

2.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE PVI-DESKTOP SYSTEM

The PVI-DESKTOP allows to monitor and display the performance of the AURORA Power-One inverter and

is ideal for residential or small commercial system installations.

The main advantage of using a PVI-DESKTOP lies in the possibility of setting up wireless communication in

the absence of wired communication, thanks to the PVI-RADIOMODULE installation (on every inverter) .

Moreover the large TFT touch screen display allows the data acquired by the system to be easily and

intuitively displayed and processed. In this way the use of an external PC is not strictly

necessary.Connection to an external PC is only necessary for updating the internal firmware or

downloading the data collected and displaying them by using Aurora Communicator.

Figure 1 - 2 shows a diagram summarizing the connections possible with the PVI-DESKTOP, both to the

inverters and a traditional PC/Laptop. The interface of the PVI-DESKTOP with the PC/Laptop requires the

installation of the SW Aurora Communicator, available from the CD inside the packaging.

NOTE: it is advisable to periodically check the availability of new SW updates, from the web site

www.power-one.com.

NOTE: the connection of the Power-One server must be only considered as a FW update of the

system using the SW Aurora Communicator installed on the PC/Laptop and connected to the

internet.

Figure 2 – Co unication diagra for the PVI-DESKTOP syste (inverter co unication via radio

connection).

Page 7 of 51

The wireless and wired (RS48 ) connections are mutually exclusive, therefore the PVI-DESKTOP

cannot be used in both configurations and the communication channel must always be chosen.

When the use wireless communication is chosen, it is absolutely necessary that every field

inverter has the PVI-Radiomodule installed; it is not possible to use one PVI-Radiomodule and

connect the other inverters to each other via RS48 .

2.2 POSSIBLE USE

2.2.1 POSSIBLE CONNECTION TO INVERTERS

•RS48 (cable length up to approx. 1000m, a maximum of 6 inverters)

•Radio (approx. up to 300m in the open/obstacle free, maximum of 6 inverters)

The list of inverters having limitations in using the PVI-DESKTOP , is summarized in the following table:
