4 Installation

4�1 Transporting and storing data logger

Ensure that the ambient conditions during transportation and storage are within the spec-

ied limits (see Section 10).

4�2 Scope of delivery

Please check that the following parts are included:

Quantity Description

1MaxWeb xp

1Installation manual

1 Plug-in power supply unit 230 VAC / 15 VDC

1 Assembly components for wall and top hat rail mounting

1 Ethernet connection cable (patch cable) for connection to a LAN network, DSL

router or switch/hub (grey)

1 Crossover Ethernet connection cable for connection to a PC (red)

For the MaxWeb xp GPRS version additionally:

Quantity Description

1 GSM aerial with connection cable

1 Crossover Ethernet connection cable (short, red)

4�3 Siting

Please note the following when siting your MaxWebxp:

 MaxWeb xp meets the requirements of protection class IP20 and is therefore only

suitable for installation in dry, clean spaces. For outdoor installation or operation

under adverse conditions the device must be mounted in an additional casing that

meets the requirements of the required protection class.

 The ambient temperature must be between –20 °C and +40 °C.

 To connect the plug-in power supply a 230 V power socket must be within reach of

the connection cable.

 For the GPRS version, the GSM signal of the respective mobile communications pro-

vider must be adequately strong. The GSM must be installed in a suitable location.

4�4 Device installation

Wall

Attach the two grey PVC parts to the back of the device using the enclosed screws. The

device can now be simply installed at the selected location.

Top-hat rail

Attach the two grey metal parts to the back of the device using the enclosed screws. The

device can now be simply hooked into a 35mm top-hat rail.

5 Installation of the MaxComm

network

5�1 Connection options

Up to 75 devices with a MaxComm interface can be connected to your MaxWeb xp data

logger.

Device Purpose

SolarMax inverters All SolarMax inverters from the E and C series

MaxMeteo Module for connecting a temperature and irradiance sensor

MaxCount Module for connecting pulse counters with S0 interface (utility

companies)

MaxConnect plus Generator connection box with string current monitoring

MaxDisplay 1.0 / 2.0 LCD or LED large displays with MaxComm interface / Large

displays with a MaxComm interface are offered by several display

manufacturers

5�2 Wiring

Use commercially available RJ45 network cables, also referred to as RJ45 patch cables,

for wiring the MaxComm network. These cables are available in different lengths from

IT retailers. Alternatively you may assemble the cables yourself using suitable tools. We

recommend using single-screened category 5 cables (CAT 5e).

DANGER!

Fatal electric shock hazard!

For the connection to a network it may be necessary to open the inverter.

Components within the inverter are charged with a high voltage.

 Never open an inverter while it is in operation.

 Open the inverters as described in the device documentation or installa-

tion manual.

 The string inverters of the S and MT series do not have to be opened for

the connection to a network.

The two gures below show the recommended connection options for MaxWeb GPRS.

Other topologies are not recommended owing to the high data volumes and corresponding

high connection costs.

 Connection option with bridge between the “Modem ISDN” and “Ethernet” connec-

tions (the bridge is included in the delivery package):

Note

 Special RJ45 connector kits with IP54 protection for C and S series string

inverters are available from your SolarMax distributor. These connectors

must be used unless the inverters are installed in a dry, clean

environment.

 The maximum cable length for MaxComm networks is 300 metres.

Should you wish to install a larger network, please contact the SolarMax

service centre.

5�3 Addressing

For MaxWeb xp to be able to detect connected devices, you must assign an unambiguous

device address to every device. Please note that each device address must be used once

only. You will nd instructions for setting the address in the product description of the

corresponding device.
