4.1 Safety instructions for installation
Note
Damage due to incorrectly connected cables!
If cables are connected incorrectly, this can damage or destroy the
measuring inputs and the device.
–Connect cables only to the correct locations.
–Ensure the correct polarity of the cables being connected.
Note
Damage due to overvoltage!
Overvoltage or voltage peaks can damage or destroy the device.
–Protect the power supply against overvoltage.
Note
Damage due to overvoltage!
If voltages of more than 10 V DC are applied to the analog inputs, or if
currents of more than 20 mA flow, this can destroy the affected
measuring inputs.
–Ensure that only voltages of up to 10 V DC are applied and only
currents of up to 20 mA flow.
Note
Damage due to incorrect supply voltage!
If there is a voltage higher or lower than 24 V DC at the input for the
supply voltage, the device may be damaged or destroyed.
–Only use the original plug-in power supply unit.
–Only supply the plug-in power supply unit with voltage from the
public grid (no isolated operation).

Meters 200 m
Ethernet network 100 m
3)
“Connect cable” option
We offer a pre-assembled data cable (Connect cable) for connecting the
WEB'log and the first device (inverter).
1) We recommend using the cable type UNITRONIC®Li2YCYv (TP)
manufactured by Lapp Kabel, or an equivalent cable type.
This cable is suitable for direct installation in soil.
2) For longer cable lengths, repeaters must be used.
3) A hub is necessary if a number of separate cables of this length are used.

4.3 Installation
The device is intended for wall mounting.
1. Note the ITEM number from the rating plate on the rear for subsequent
configuration.
2. Remove cover over the connections (1).
3. Insert two screws (6) 164 mm apart into the wall (use drilling template
supplied).
4. Mount the device so that the heads of the screws are located in the slots.
5. Push the device down a short way and check that it is seated correctly.
6. Tighten the two screws until the device is securely seated.

4.5 Interfaces
PSTN connection
1. Test the PSTN telephone connection for outgoing and incoming calls (e.g.
provider number; if necessary, include external call prefix and ensure
there are no dialing restrictions). Set the telephone system as described
in the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Connect the device and the telephone connection with the supplied cable.
If the cable needs to be extended, ensure secure contact and correct
polarity.
Ethernet connection
Direct connection from data logger and PC / laptop via crossed network
cable (crossover).

Note: Only supply the plug-in power supply unit with voltage from the
230 V public grid. Do not power from inverter in isolated operation!
4.6 Bus communication
For communication with inverters, the WEB’log must be equipped with the
appropriate driver.
Note: The required driver is installed by the manufacturer before shipment.
For inverters, only the information required for connection is given.
For further information →Inverter documentation.
Observe the maximum permissible number of devices
Connect the WEB'log to the first device with the data cable or Connect
cable
The order of the bus devices is unimportant
The use of a repeater is necessary for long cable lengths.
As a rule, no operating voltage may be connected to the communication
interfaces of inverters.
The shield of the bus cable must be grounded at one end of the
connection only.
When routing the bus cabling, ensure as great a distance as possible
from AC cables.
To prevent reflections, the bus must always be terminated with a parallel
terminator.
