General
Device concept The Fronius Personal Display DL can be used to display real-time power data from one or
more inverters from any location within range of the device. The Fronius Personal Display DL also functions as a datalogger. The recorded data are then analyzed using Fronius Solar.access.
The Fronius Personal Display DL can show power data from up to 15 Fronius inverters. The various display modes can show power data for the entire system or for each individual inverter.
The Fronius Personal Display DL is powered via a battery or the power supply included with the device.

Information on ra­dio certification
System require­ments
The Fronius Personal Display DL is fitted with an radio module.
In the USA radio modules are subject to FCC requirements::
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interfer­ence that may cause undesired operation.
FCC ID: QKWFRF905
Changes or modifications of the radio module not expressly approved are not allowed and will void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
The Fronius Personal Display DL can be used with up to 15 of the following Fronius invert­ers:
- Fronius IG
- Fronius IG Plus / Fronius IG Plus V
- Fronius CL
Different inverter types can also be combined.
The following are required to send data to the Fronius Personal Display DL a) a Fronius Display Card with a radio antenna for each inverter,
or
b) a Fronius Personal Display DL Box
and a Fronius Com Card for each inverter.
The Fronius Personal Display DL can be used with a Fronius IG inverter serial number 17xxxxxx and higher.
The datalogging function is not available when using a Fronius Personal Display DL Card with a Fronius IG inverter. A Fronius Personal Display DL Box must be connected to a Fronius IG inverter to enable the datalogging function.

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.
In addition to inverters, the Fronius Personal Display DL can also be operated in conjunc­tion with a Fronius Personal Display DL Box with the following DATCOM components:
- 1 x Fronius Power Control Box
- 1 or more Fronius String Control(s)
- 1 x Fronius Sensor Card / Box (assigned no. 1)
- 1 x Fronius Public Display (assigned no. 1)
Utilization in ac­cordance with "intended pur­pose"
Functional princi­ple
The Fronius Personal Display DL is designed only for use in photovoltaic systems with a Fronius inverter. Any other purpose does not constitute intended use.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage resulting from such improper use. In­tended use also includes following all information from the operating instructions.

Operating controls and connections
General
Operating con­trols and connec­tions
NOTE! Because of firmware updates, certain functions may be available for your
device but not described in these operating instructions or vice versa. In addition, individual figures may also differ slightly from the operating elements of your de­vice. However, the function of these operating elements is identical.
The Fronius Personal Display DL can be used to display power data for the entire system as well as for each individual inverter. The menu control is mostly identical to that of the inverter.

Safety
Installation speci­fications
WARNING! Operating the device incorrectly can cause serious injury and dam-
age. Do not use the functions described until you have thoroughly read and un­derstood the following documents:
- these operating instructions
- all operating instructions for system components, especially the safety rules
WARNING! An electric shock can be fatal. Danger from grid voltage and DC volt­age from solar modules.
- The inverter connection area should only be opened by a licensed electrician after being disconnected from the grid power.
- Plug-in cards should only be inserted after the inverter has been disconnect­ed from the AC and DC sides.
- Please note the safety information in your inverter's operating instructions.
WARNING! Risk of injury and damage by overvoltage! The Fronius Personal Display Card is not suitable for a grid voltage of 277 V AC. Only operate the Fronius Personal Display Card with the grid voltage specified by the manufacturer.
The Fronius Personal Display DL should only be used indoors due to its NEMA 1 degree of protection. The device should be protected against direct exposure to moisture.
Inserting a Fro­nius Display Card or Fronius Com Card into the in­verter
The antenna can be set up and operated outdoors without limitation.
NOTE! Follow general ESD precautions when handling option cards.
Insert and secure a Fronius Display Card or Fronius Com Card as per the inverter's
1
operating instructions.
Follow all safety information.
NOTE! When inserting the Fronius Display Card into the Fronius IG, the plug-in card
- should only be inserted into slots labeled 'Option 1' or 'Option 2'
- should not be inserted under any circumstances into the slot on the far left labeled 'ENS'

1
tenna to the wall and connecting to the inverter
The antenna included with the Fronius Personal Display Card comes with a 2 m long con­nection cable. If the inverter is located within a room shielded from radio waves, it is pos­sible to install the antenna outside of this area. A cable extension is available from Fronius for Fronius CL inverters.
Fronius Personal Display DL + Fronius Personal Display Card + Fronius IG / Fronius IG Plus / Fronius CL inverters
NOTE! For systems with several inverters, antennas must be at least 19.7 in. (0,5 m) apart so that communication with the Fronius Personal Display DL is not dis­rupted. For an optimal range, we recommend a distance of 39.4 in. (1 m).
IMPORTANT The mounting bracket is part of the antenna. Only fit the antenna to the mounting bracket supplied with the antenna.

connecting the antenna to the in­verter
The following steps only apply to the following system configurations:
Fronius Personal Display DL + Fronius Personal Display Card + Fronius IG inverter
NOTE! For systems with several inverters, antennas must be at least 19.7 in. (0.5 m) apart so that communication with the Fronius Personal Display DL is not dis­rupted. For an optimal range, we recommend a distance of 39.4 in. (1 m) .
IMPORTANT The mounting bracket is part of the antenna. Only fit the antenna to the mounting bracket supplied with the antenna.
Use the previously removed original hous­ing screw to screw the antenna mounting bracket onto the housing.
