2.2.2 Serial No. and Check Code
EnerLog's serial number (SN) is a code consisting of letters and numbers affixed on
the EnerLog outer package and on the EnerLog case. The check code (CC) is a 5-digit
code consisting of letters and numbers affixed on the EnerLog outer package and on
the EnerLog case. The serial number and check code of each EnerLog are unique and
are used to identify the individual EnerLog. When uploading EnerLog data to the web
server, you need to add EnerLog to the server by adding the serial number and the
verification code corresponding to the serial number. The serial No. and ‘check code’
corresponding to register on the server are needed.
EnerLog supports network communication, and can connect with cloud server through
wired WLAN. Upload the monitored data to the server of ATESS, and then access the
server's domain name to realize industrial common communication mode RS485. It
also supports wired communication to monitor, set slave devices and perform online
upgrades on devices. By accessing EnerLog's internal IP address, you can enter the
internal page for parameter setting, device adding and viewing (please refer to section
4.4).
EnerLog monitors the devices through RS485.

2.3 Function Introduction
Installation and Connection 3
3.1 Installation environment
EnerLog installation environment and communication requirements for other devices:
(1) Indoor installation, temperature environment -25℃～55℃, avoid humidity and
direct sunlight.
(2) The maximum communication distance of wired RS485 is 500m, and attention
should be paid to prevent interference.
(3) The length of the network cable between the router should not exceed 1000m.
3.2 installation method
3.2.1 Installation
The installation steps are as follows:
(1) Install EnerLog on a vertical or horizontal surface.
(2) Connect the connection line between the RS485 interface on the EnerLog and the
RS485 interface on the device (for details, please refer to 3.3.1 below).
(3) Communication method
1.Standard version: Connect the network cable.
(4) Power connection selection (choose one of the methods to connect to the power
supply)
1.EnerLog distributes a set of DC12V output power adapters and conversion plugs
with five standards in China, Britain, the United States, Europe and Australia to adapt
to the socket standards of different countries.
2.EnerLog is equipped with a 12V～24V DC power input port, and the positive and
negative poles need to be correctly connected.

3.3.1 RS485 cable connection
3.3 Connect with device
EnerLog can communicate with energy storage inverters, BMS and other equipment to
achieve the purpose of data collection.
1.EnerLog (master) and device (slave) communicate through RS485 wired
connection. The 485-A on the RS485 port of the device corresponds to A1, A2 or A3 on
the EnerLog 485 port, and the 485-B on the RS485 port corresponds to Corresponding
to B1, B2 or B3 on the EnerLog 485 port. The following is a schematic diagram of the
connection between EnerLog and the inverter:
8
9
2.The inverter and the inverter are connected to the EnerLog through the RS485 line
parallel connection, and the RS485 wired communication connection is adopted. The
EnerLog can stably monitor up to 30 devices (each RS485 channel connects 10
devices).
The functions of the A1B1, A2B2, and A3B3 channels are the same.
3.Other 485 communication equipment such as: BMS, combiner box, etc., the
connection method is the same as that of the inverter.
4. Notice:
(1) RS485 shielded wire must be grounded (PE) during communication to avoid
affecting the stability of communication.
(2) The three 485 channels provided by EnerLog are all connected with 120 ohm
matching resistance, so when one or more inverters communicate with EnerLog for
485, one inverter must be connected with 120 ohm matching resistance to avoid
affecting communication (In a 485 channel, only one of multiple inverters can be
connected to matching resistance, and multiple inverters cannot be connected to
matching resistance at the same time), it is recommended that the most remote
inverter is connected to matching resistance.
(3) Environmental detectors, combiner boxes and other equipment must be
manufacturers designated by ATESS, otherwise monitoring cannot be achieved.

4 EnerLog Internal Page parameter setting
4.1 IP access method
When EnerLog uses a static IP to access the Internet, you need to use a static IP to log
in to the internal page.
1. Connect the computer and EnerLog directly with a network cable.
2. On the computer "Network and Sharing Center" page, modify the computer's IP
address and EnerLog's IP address to be in the same network segment.
(1) For example, if the static IP address set by EnerLog is 192.168.0.2, then the
computer IP address can be set as:
10 11
Precautions for configuration page operation:
(1) If the interface is not refreshed for a long time after clicking save when adding a
device, please power off the collector and restart it. Re-enter this page after restarting,
click "device status" to check whether the last operation was successful.
(2) When configuring the parameters of the corresponding function, you only need to
configure the parameters of the corresponding function according to the above
method, and do not modify the other parameters that cannot be made.
It is recommended to use EnerLog with a router. EnerLog uses a router to access the
Internet by default, so the first time you log in to the internal EnerLog page, you need
to search for the IP address through the router backend to log in.
4.1.1 Dynamic IP login
1. Connect the PC and EnerLog to the same router so that they are in the same LAN.
2. Find the IP address of EnerLog
Take the H3C router as an example: Go to the router's management page, click "DHCP
Server→Server List", and find the client name that is the same as EnerLog's serial
number SN. This IP is the IP address assigned to EnerLog by the router.
Note: The router must enable the DHCP function,
otherwise the IP address cannot be assigned automatically.
3. Enter EnerLog's IP address in the browser to enter EnerLog's internal page.
4.1.2 Static IP login
3. After the computer IP setting is completed, enter the IP address of EnerLog on the
computer browser page to access the internal page.
4.2 Login to the internal page
Before access, check whether the communication cable between the devices is firmly
connected. After the check is correct, you can enter the EnerLog IP address in the
browser to enter the internal EnerLog page.
Note: EnerLog and the computer must be in the same network segment, otherwise the
internal page cannot be accessed.
1. Find the IP address of EnerLog in the router, and enter the IP address in the web
address of the browser to log in to the internal EnerLog page, as shown in the figure
below:
Note: no need to set DNS server address

12 13
2. Enter the user name and password, the default login user name: admin password:
admin, fill in and click to log in.

(5) After saving successfully, enter the device "device status" page to confirm whether
the device is deleted successfully.
Notice:
(1) When deleting a device, the options should be the same as when adding the device:
485 channel, device type, address, etc. If you don't know the relevant parameters, you
can first click the "Device Status" column to view.
(2) When an address is already occupied, adding a new device will not directly
overwrite it. The old device must be deleted before the address can be used.
4.5 Setting the baud rate
