Add a Logger【SOLARMAN Smart APP】

After the home is created, you can add a logger. Logger can collect running data from PV devices and upload to server, which enables a full understanding of PV plant running status and revenue information. Furthermore, SOLARMAN Smart will determine whether the plant is running normally, which avoid property losses caused by device failure and other reasons.

Step 1: Select a Home

In case you have various power homes, which might cause data corruption, it is recommended to select a home first before adding a logger.


Ways to add a logger :

1）Go to "Home" , click "+" in the upper-right corner, select "Add a Logger", then「Select a Home」according to your actual situation.


2）Go to「Device」 , click "Start" to add a logger to the target plant.


Step 2: Enter Logger SN

Users can enter logger SN manually or click icon in the right to scan SN.

SN can be found on the product box. If the product box has been lost, you can find SN on product body.


Step 3: Select Authorization Mode

When you add a logger, it is required to select authorization mode. System will add a device to your plant according to your authorization mode.


1. Select authorized device automatically

Default authorization mode: Select authorized device automatically. If you select this mode, devices connected to logger will be added to the plant automatically.

2.Select authorized device manually

If you select authorized device manually, it is required to select the device connected to logger first, then add the target devices to the plant. If the logger does not have normal networking or devices have no connection with the logger at this period, you can go to 「Device Details」 and add device manually when it runs normally.


Notice: Once the device has been added to the plant, authorization mode cannot be changed. If you want to change the authorization mode, please delete the logger first and add to the plant again.


Step 4: Finish

After finish adding, you can check logger data on "Device Details" page.

If the logger is equipped with a WiFi module, please know the following information:

1、Wi-Fi module is not capable of communication, which cannot transmit data directly.

2、If you wish your logger is capable of communication, it is required to operate networking configuration first. System will keep you informed after adding a device, then click "Go to Configure".

3、After networking configuration is done, it means the logger is capable of communication, which can transmit data to server. Then you can check plant data on SOLARMAN Smart.

4、Due to network and server connection reasons, please wait about 5-10 mins to check the data after the configuration is done.

5、If the data cannot be displayed normally, please check router network or try networking configuration again.
