2. Overview
MT80 is a new generation of remote meters that can monitor the
EPEVER solar charge controller and inverter on one screen
simultaneously. Equipped with an RS485 monitor port to directly
connect the PC or EPEVER cloud platform, making remote
monitoring easy and convenient.
This product provides multiple solutions to fit different requirements
from off-grid users.
Features:
Multi RJ45 communication ports
4.7-inch LCD screen, real-time dynamic display of system data
Visually error codes, timely notification of warnings and faults
Load ON/OFF button to control the load output directly
Dry contact output and enable switch design
Remote control inverter ON or OFF
Independent RJ45 com. port for PC or cloud platform connection
Friendly connect with different EPEVER devices

The RS485 device port is composed of two RJ45 ports, which are
connected in parallel. This port is connected to the EPEVER
controller or inverter.
The RS485 monitor port is connected to a PC or EPEVER cloud
platform.

5. Installation Instructions
Before Installation
1. Check whether the solar controller's ID is 1; if not, set it to 1.
2. Check whether the ID of the inverter is 3; if not, please set it to 3.
3. Wall installation or surface mounting installation is optional.
Wall Installation
Step 1: Locate and drill screw holes based on the frame mounting
dimension (175x50mm), and erect the plastic expansion bolts.
Step 2: Use four M5 self-tapping screws to fix the frame.
Step 3: Remove the decorative shell.
Step 4: Use two M4 pan head screws to mount the MT80 surface on
the base.
Step 5: Install the decorative shell.

7
Surface Mounting Installation
Step 1: Locate based on the installation size (176mm) and drill screw
holes (no smaller than 158.2x85.2mm).
Step 2: Remove the decorative shell.
Step 3: Use two M4 pan head screws to fix MT80.
Step 4: Install the decorative shell.
