1. Choose a suitable place (wall, metal surface, desktop)；
2. Use a marker to mark the drilling position；
3. Use an electric drill/impact drill to make holes at the marked locations；
4. Fastening with expansion screws (wall) or with nuts (metal surface)
Danger:
Please avoid other wires in the wall when drilling to avoid casualties.
Rail installation
1. Fix the guide rail in a suitable position
2. S3-Logger is tilted at a certain angle, so that the upper clip fits into the guide rail
3. Push the lower part of S3-Logger and snap it into the guide rail
Warning:
Please observe the surrounding environment during installation to avoid hand scratches.
Power supply installation
The power supply only supports rail installation. For installation steps, please refer to the
S3-Logger rail installation steps.
5. Mechanical Installation

6. Electrical Connections
Power supply installation steps
1. Use a 2.5mm² wire, strip the insulation for 8-10mm.
2. The +V and -V terminals of the power supply are respectively connected to the V+ and
V- terminals of the S3-Logger device.
Danger:
Please be sure to check the corresponding terminal carefully when wiring, so as to avoid
injury to personnel and equipment.

6. Electrical Connections
1. Use 1~1.5mm² twisted pair with shielding layer
2. Strip the protective layer of the communication cable by about 20mm, and strip the insulation
layer of the wires by about 10mm
3. Connect the stripped wires to the RS485 port of the S3-Logger device
4. If multiple inverters need to be monitored on site, daisy-chain cables can be used for the
inverters. Each serial port of S3-Logger can connect 15 inverters.
Note:
When wiring, RS485A is connected to the A port of the S3-Logger device, and RS485B is
connected to the B port of the S3-Logger device.

3. Configure the RS485 interface in "Interface config", connect COM1 and COM2 to the inverter
and EPM, COM3 to the weather station, and COM4 to the electric meter. (If the list of weather
stations and electric meters cannot match the actual application on site. Please feedback the
equipment model and communication protocol to the local technical support, and we will update it
according to the site).
Select COM1, click "Add Device" to add the number of inverters, just select the inverter and
inverter device address. If you want to delete redundant configuration, turn off "YES or NO" to
delete redundant configuration. Similar to weather stations and electricity meters. After the
configuration is complete, click "Reboot" to restart and take effect.
4."Device data" can view the real-time data of the connected device. At the same time, the
inverter can be remotely adjusted and controlled by "Control and Telecontrol".

7. Configuration
.15.
5.‘To configure’ allows you to import the configuration file directly. If other brands of weather
stations or electricity meters are used on site, please send the communication protocol of the
equipment to the local technical support. After we complete the configuration, you only need to
import the configuration file and restart it to take effect. "Plug-in unit" is an option to update the
software driver, similar to the operation to configure.
6. When the COM3 weather station or COM4 meter Device address is not the default value of
"1-3", click the "Device data" list, select the corresponding COM port, select "Telecontrol" to
manually set the device address required on site in "Point value", and click "edit".
