Risk of death by electrocution
Potentially fatal voltage is applied to the micro
inverter during operation. This potentially fatal
voltage is still present for  ve minutes after all
power sources have been disconnected.
►Never open the Gateway.
►Use only the power cord delivered with the
Gateway. Check the power cord for damage
before usage.
►Never try to repair a damaged power cord.
►The Gateway can be operated safely and normally only
if installed and used in accordance with this manual (see
IEC 62109-5.3.3). Delta Energy Systems is not responsible
for physical injury and property damage incurred by failure
to observe the installation and operating instructions in this
manual. For this reason, be sure to observe and follow all
instructions!
►Install the micro inverters that shall be connected to this
Gateway according to the manual delivered with the micro
inverters.
►The Gateway communicates with the micro inverters via PLC
(Power Line Carrier). The communication quality depends on
the installation environment. The shorter the signal path, the
better the signal quality.
►In case multiple micro inverters are installed in parallel in a
three-phase system, a communication with the Gateway via
PLC is not possible.
►The Gateway is for indoor use only (protection degree IP20).

Communication options

The Gateway is used for two tasks:
(a) To set up and start the micro inverters (mandatory).
(b) To connect to the SOLIVIA Monitor Portal where you can
monitor your micro inverters (optional).
For both tasks, you need a PC with an internet browser. Wi-Fi
works with Windows XP / Vista / 7 and Mac OS X. To connect
to SOLIVIA Monitor, you need an internet connection (e.g. via a
router).

Using WiFi (Communication variants 2 and 4)
1. On your PC, look for available wireless networks.
2. To connect to the Gateway, click on the wireless network with the name “DELTA_
xxxxxxxxxxxx” (The “xxx” stand for the WiFi MAC address of the Gateway - you can
nd it on the type label).
3. On your PC, open the Internet browser. In the address eld, type in the standard IP
address of the Gateway (with the dots): 169.254.0.1 and press the ENTER button on
your PC. It works like for a normal website.
→The local website of the Gateway opens:
4. Now you can set up your micro inverters (see section 9, “Setting up and Starting
Micro Inverters”). If you nished with that, come back to this point.
→ If you don’t want to use SOLIVIA Monitor, conguration is now done and you can
disconnect your PC from the Gateway.
→If you want to use SOLIVIA Monitor, continue with the next step.
To connect to your router, you need network name and network key of your router. Both you can
usually nd on its type label or in the documentation delivered with your router.
5. To search a wireless network (e.g. your router), click on Congure Network.
6. In the new window, click on the Scan Wireless Networks button.
7. In the list, click on the network name of your router.
→A password dialog opens.
The communication variants mentioned in this section are described in section 5, “Set-
ting up Communication”.

8. Type in the network key of your router and click on OK button.
→When the network key was correct, after a few seconds a new IP address and
the letters “DHCP” appear on the display of your Gateway. How the IP address
looks like, depends on your router.
172 . 25 . 16 . 133 DHCP
I D : 2 POWER : 0 . 0W
9. Continue with section 10, “Connecting to SOLIVIA Monitor”.
Using Ethernet (Communication variant 1 and 3)
1. On your PC, open the Internet browser. In the address  eld, type in the IP address
shown on the display of the Gateway (e. g. 169.254.0.1) and press the ENTER but-
ton on your PC. It works like for a normal website.
172 . 25 . 16 . 133 DHCP

→The local website of the Gateway opens:
2. Now you can set up your micro inverters (see section 9, “Setting up and Starting
Micro Inverters”). If you  nished with that, come back to this point.
→ If you don’t want to use SOLIVIA Monitor, con guration is now done and you can
disconnect your PC from the Gateway.
→If you want to use SOLIVIA Monitor, continue with section 10, “Connecting to
SOLIVIA Monitor”. ATTENTION: This works only with Communication Variant 3!

Gateway received from your router) and press the ENTER button on your PC.
2. Click on User Host Setting.
3. In the new window, you usually do not need to change the domain name “moni-
toringservices.solar-inverter.com”. So simply click on the Save Entered Address
button.
4. Click on User Register Page.
5. In the new window, read the Terms of Use and the Privacy Statement. Afterwards,
click on I have read and accept... and then click on the Connect to SOLIVIA Moni-
tor button.
