After the electrical installation of the equipment is completed (See SLD’s on how to do this HERE), please follow the steps below on how to setup your inverter(s), power meter and DC1.

Firmware Compatibility between devices

1.Check the firmware on the DC1

Current latest FW version: v1.30 (this is a requirement for the installation)
See how to check and update below;
This process will always download the latest firmware available.

  1. Connect to the Wi-Fi of the Data Collector (Default password is : DELTASOL)
  2. Turn Mobile Data “OFF”
  3. Sign in and press “Manage Your Devices”
  4. Menu (top left) -> Setting -> Maintenance
  5. Type Installer Password (4613)
  6. Press “OK” and select the DC1 Firmware tab.
  7. Select the empty field next to “Download Access” and select “Delta Server”
  8. Turn mobile data “ON” (wait 10 seconds)
  9. Press “Download DC1 FW File” (wait until completion)
  10. Turn mobile data “OFF” (wait 10 seconds)
  11. Press “DC1 Firmware Update”
  12. Wait for the DC1 “System Ready” light to go red and green again.

2.Check the FW on the Inverters

Model: H5A_222

Ensure that the minimum firmware version on the inverters is at least:
DSP: 3.00
COMM: 2.23
Wi-Fi: 1.7.3

Model: M6A/M10A

COMM: v1.30


The FW can typically be found on the inverter box it was packaged in on a sticker.
If you no longer have access to the box or there is no sticker, see a video on how to check this HERE under the title “How to Monitor your inverter Offline when you dont have Internet onsite”. On the M6A/M10A scroll down to inverter info via the screen to find the COMM FW easily.
If it needs an update, see how to update HERE

3.Check the SN of the meter (single phase meter)
When using a P1E, The 7-9th digit of the serial number must be at least 172 (i.e. 172, 173,174,175 and above would be compatible) example serial number – PPM P1E-O2S1720000W0

Please ensure that the inverter you are connecting the data collector to is not already connected to a router. If it is please reset the Wi-Fi card and delete the plant on the cloud.

Now that we have checked the compatibility of the DC1 with other products we can begin commissioning via the MyDeltaSolar App. Create an account and sign in to follow the video’s below, if you aren’t sure how to create an account see HERE.

Tips

  • Greyed out inverters: If you see greyed out inverters in in the initial connection page then these inverters are already comissioned to the cloud and cannot be commissioned to the Data Collector. In order to set them up with the Data Collector they will need to be reset (hold reset button down for 20 seconds) and the plant must be deleted from the cloud (see how to delete them HERE)
  • Greyed out Routers: These routers have a signal strength too weak for connection to the DC1.
