any time at any location within a specified distance of the unit.

display is supplied from batteries or from the power supply unit supplied with the equipment. Performance data from up to 15 FRONIUS IGs can be shown on the personal
display. The different display modes enable performance data from the whole installation
or from each individual inverter to be viewed.
