2 General Information
2.1 Product Characteristic
Super parameter programmer (SPP-01) is the simple, efficient and practical
accessory for parameter configuration with the easy one button operation.
Due to the new standard communication protocol, it applies to stand-alone
or multi-parallel products. The features ofthe SPP-01 are listed below.
One button and one indication led are designed for simplicity and
easy-to-operate.
RS232 (TTL), RS485 and USB communication are supported.
SPPPCTools PC software is used to configure and backup parameters

2
visually, rapidly and conveniently.
Dual power supply design. SPP-01 can be powered by battery or
Micro-USB cable applying for various environments.
2.2 Main Functions
Parameter configuration function
Load the parameter configuration to the SPP-01 via SPPPCTools PC
software andthenupdate thedevice’s parametersthrough SPP-01 with
easy one button.
Data transparent transmission function.
SPP-01 can be used as the communication converter to connect the
device and Solar Station Monitor, a PC software, to establish remote
monitoring.
2.3 Recommendation
DCCPxxxxDP (R), LSxxxxB (PL), VSxxxxB, TracerxxxxB (PL) and
iTracerxxB series products are supported to update the configuration by
SPP-01.Please confirmwhether to support beforepurchasing.

Main interface
Parameter configure:
1. Double click software icon to pop up configuration interface of
SPP-01.
2. The softwarewill automatically open the port afterselectedserial port of
SPP-01(thebutton caption will change from “open port” to “ close port”)
3. The following dialog box will be popped up automatically by clicking
“SELECT” tag:

10
Double click to select device (the configuration content will be changed
automatically).
4. Configure relevant parameters by clicking “ Control P arameters”,
“General Load”, “ LED Load” in the frame of Parameter Configuration
and “Time Sync” in the Management. After configuring parameters,
click “ OK” to quit and return to main interface (For the parameters
without configuration, uncheck the box “ ”).
5. After configuration, click button to load configuration
into SPP-01 device (a corresponding dialog box will be popped up to
prompt whether loaded successfully or not).
