Connecting the WLAN antenna

The inverter is provided with the basic configuration to operate in the country 

where it was sold. In case of operation in a different country, or if changes 

to other parameters are needed, a communication connection to the inverter 

must be established.

In addition, to change settings and to connect the inverter to a Local Area Net-

work (LAN) for monitoring purposes it is necessary to establish such commu-

nication link. The App MaxLink is available on Play Store (for Android systems) 

as well as on Apple Store (for iOS systems).

The communication connection to the MaxLink App operates via WLAN.

NOTE
Make sure that the WiFi Antenna is properly installed at the bottom 

of the inverter. Without antenna the WiFi signal has a much minor 

strength and the link may be discontinuous or absent.

Connecting the inverter via WLAN

When the inverter is switched on, it generates a local WLAN network access 

point.  
Any mobile device (smartphone, tablet) can connect to the Access Point. The 

name of the WiFi network (SSID name) is given by the model name followed 

by the serial number of the inverter. For instance “3000SP_1913-326200”. 

The connection is password protected. The password is “12345678”.
To establish a wireless communication-link between your mobile device and 

the inverter see the following steps:

1.  To connect the mobile device to the Access Point of the inverter select 

“Settings --> WiFi” on your mobile device.
