If you don’t use our LCF filter, we strongly recommend the distance between micro inverters and gateway should be less than 24m in order to better communication. If you need to gat a farther distance, please install our LCF filter. Once you have installed LCF filter on the system, the communication effect and distance will be increased substantially. Other devices including energy meter aren’t recommended to be installed between MRG and micro Replus inverter. If you are not sure where should the MRG be placed, please consult your distributor or

ReneSola local oﬃce or ReneSola technical support.

05 a) b) c) b)Ethernet port: connect to the router or your computer for monitoring c)USB port: allow to connect a USB ﬂash disk, keyboard, or mouse.

The gateway can be installed indoor only.

Step1-Connect Ethernet and Power Cables

a) Plug the Ethernet cable i nto the Ethernet port on the MRG.

b) Plug the other end of the cable into a port on the broadband router.

c) Plug the AC cord into a dedicated wall outlet.

B123 into the Module ID. You need to start the input from the Module1 ID.

There are two methods of input:

You can add an external USB keyboard. you must connect the keyboard to MRG by USB interface

Energy display. Here the horizontal coordinates represent the month (in Fig. 3.6, today is October

25, and September (September of this year), August (August of this year), July… November, and represent the amount of power generated (kWh). The green bars indicate the amount of power generated over each month. The absence of a green bar means that no power was generated the past 7 days (see Fig. 3.5). Here the horizontal coordinates represent the dat e (in Fig. 3.5, today is Thursday October 25, and Wednesday (yesterday),Tuesday (day before yesterd ay), generated power. The absence of a green bar means that no power was generat ed on that day, or year for the past 20 years (see Fig. 3.7). This display is also very similar to the Last 7 Days' Energy display. Here the horizontal coordinates represent the year (the years 2011, 2010… are shown

The green bars indicate the amount of power generated over each year. The absence of a green recorded for that year.
