Installation of Qendercore Hub
Connect the Qendercore hub to your Soltaro All in One 2 by aligning the round
connector with the “EMS” connector on the inverter and pushing it upwards (DO
NOT CONNECT WHILE INVERTER IS ENERGIZED). Once connected, tighten the
outer lockring until it is firm. Once complete, switch on the inverter and wait for
the status LEDs (Green and Yellow) to start flashing.

Connecting to Qendercore Hub
LOCAL ACCESS POINT (AP)
Once your Qendercore Hub is plugged in and inverter is powered, the “Power” LED
(RED) should light up. Shortly after, the Status lights will start flashing, push the
Interactive Button twice (two short presses) to enter Setup Mode. The “Mode” light
(Green) should start flashing on and off approximately every 1.5 seconds. Once in
Setup Mode you will need to push the Interactive Button three times (three short
presses) to enter Local AP Mode. The “Mode” light (Green) should now be flashing
on and off every 0.1 seconds.
Once in Local AP mode, the Qendercore Hub will provide a temporary WiFi access
point that can be connected to by one device (eg. computer, smartphone, or
tablet) to complete the setup process. Using your device, open your WiFi settings,
and connect to the AP named “Qendercore”. The password is “p1234567”. (NOTE:
On some smart devices, it may be necessary to activate Airplane Mode before
switching WiFi back on, to prevent the device from prioritizing mobile data
connections) It is normal for this network to show a “No Internet” message from
your device.

Internet Connection
There are various methods of connecting your Qendercore hub to your local
network:
1. Local Access Point –WiFi (LOCAL ACCESS POINT (AP))
2. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) –WiFi (Only available for Wi-Fi routers with
WPS Push Button/ PBC functionality) (WiFi Setup –WPS)
3. Ethernet Connection (Error! Reference source not found.)
These methods are outlined in the following sections.
WiFi Network Setup –Manual Entry
Once you have connected to your Qendercore Hub following the steps above,
input your installation Country and press “Apply”. Select your preferred Wi-Fi
network by clicking on it and input the correct password for this network into the
“Wi-Fi Passphrase” section. If your chosen network is not broadcasting an SSID,
you can select “Hidden Network” to enter an SSID manually (please ensure that
“Hidden” is selected in this scenario). Once all details have been input, please press
CONNECT to attempt Wi-Fi connection to the chosen Wi-Fi network.
Once it has successfully connected to the Local network, the page will refresh and
will show you the availability of:
1. Qendercore DNS Lookup
2. Internet Connectivity
3. Local Wi-Fi connection
If any of these are not showing as “Connected” or “Available”, please refer to the

WiFi Setup –WPS
Once your Qendercore Hub is plugged in and the Status lights are flashing, push
the Interactive Button twice (two short presses) to enter Setup Mode. The “Mode”
light (Green) should start flashing on and off approximately every 1.5 seconds.
Once in Setup Mode you will need to push the Interactive Button once (one long
press 3-6 seconds) to enter WPS Pairing Mode. The “Mode” light (Green) should
now be flashing on and off every 0.4 seconds.
Once in WPS mode, follow the instructions for the target WiFi router to activate
WPS Pairing mode on the router. This could be by pushing a button on the router,
or it may require logging into the router’s configuration wizard. Please confirm the
process with the router manufacturer if required.
Once both devices are in WPS Pairing Mode at the same time, the Hub should
automatically connect to the target WiFi router. Once pairing is complete and
WiFi network connection is confirmed, the “Connectivity” (Yellow) LED will flash
faster in accordance with the LED Status section of this document. Once the LED
remains on, and blinks off every 3 seconds, communications have been
established with the Qendercore servers, and it is ready for account setup (Linking
a Qendercore Account).

Ethernet Connection Setup
Assemble the Ethernet connector by passing the Ethernet cable through the
weatherproof gland, and then fitting off an RJ45 connector using the T-568B
connection standard. Once the Status LEDs of the Hub are flashing, connect the
RJ45 connector to the Ethernet port of the Qendercore Hub and twist the
weatherproof lockring onto the Ethernet port. Tighten the weatherproof gland
until it is firm.

INVERTER OPERATIONS
The Inverter Operations page provides the following functionality:
-Inverter Clock Synchronization
oInverter Clock can be synchronized to the Browser (Your Device) or
Hub (Qendercore Hub) time. Please note, Hub Synchronization is only
available if Qendercore Hub has a valid internet connection to
validate the correct time via our servers. Both options are intended to
update the inverter clock, so it is only necessary to use one option.
-Restore Factory Defaults
-Emergency Charge
oTriggers a 10A, 52V voltage output on the inverter, without requiring
battery communications. Intended to “wake up” batteries that have
been dormant at low SOC where required.
-Storm Charge
oTriggers the inverter to charge any connected batteries to the
ChargeEndSOC% at the maximum allowable current. Recommended
to set ChargeEndSOC% to 100% when using this functionality.

INVERTER FAULTS
This page will show you the last 10 fault codes recorded by the inverter locally. An
explanation of the recorded fault codes is provided at the bottom of the page for
your convenience. The Numbers in the second table correlate to the Fault Number
in the first table. Date/Time of each fault is based on the Inverter Clock at the time
that the fault occurred.
