Fronius Personal Display DL as a datalogger
General At 15 minute intervals, the Fronius Personal Display DL saves the real-time data from all inverters integrated into the system, as well as the real-time data from a Fronius Sensor
Card or a Fronius Sensor Box.
The data can be easily edited, archived, and viewed with a PC or laptop using the "Fronius
Solar.access" software.
The datalogging function is not available when using a Fronius Personal Display DL Card with a Fronius IG inverter.
When the Fronius Personal Display DL is configured with the Fronius Personal Display DL
Card, the Fronius Personal Display DL does not log data if another data logger is present in the system (e.g., Fronius Datalogger or Fronius Datalogger Web).
No other data logger may be present in the system when using the Fronius Personal Display DL Box.
Memory capacity The Fronius Personal Display DL has a memory capacity of up to 500 days for a photovoltaic system with one inverter.
However, the memory capacity of the Fronius Personal Display DL is reduced accordingly depending on the number of inverters that are integrated into the system.
Overwriting data when memory is full
When the Fronius Personal Display DL memory is full, the oldest data will be overwritten by the newest data.

CAUTION!
Using the wrong battery types can cause damage.
The Fronius Personal Display DL requires the following battery type for operation:
NiMH batteries
1.2 V
Size AA / LR6
CAUTION!
Damaged, unequally charged or deeply discharged batteries may cause damage.
Only insert 2 fully charged batteries of the same type
Only insert batteries with the same charge level
(e.g., do not insert a half charged battery with a fully charged battery)
Check batteries for damage before insertion
(e.g., acid leaks) do not use damaged batteries.
CAUTION!
Batteries may be destroyed if an unsuitable charger is used. The included batteries should only be charged in the Fronius Personal Display DL.
Checking the battery charge status
New, fully charged batteries can power the Fronius Personal Display DL for approx. 3-4 weeks depending on the system configuration.
The segment bars on the display show the current battery charge (100 - 20%).
