Overview of WIFIKIT Function
Omniksol-WIFIKIT is developed by Omnik as an external communication monitoring device,
which integrates WiFi device for users and provides a wireless monitor function.
By connecting with inverters through RS485 interface, the Kit can receive information from
inverters and realize cascade of inverters. One side It provides wireless function, another
side, it may also use cable to transfer inverter data to the web server.
Users can monitor the runtime status of the device by checking the 4 LEDs on the panel
which indicates Power, RS485, Link and Status respectively.

2.2 The installation of data collector
2.2.1 Wall-mounted installation
1. Mark two horizontal round holes which distance is 69mm in the selected position
2. Drill two φ6mm holes in the marked position, the depth of the hole is not less than 30mm
3. Punch the expanded rubber tubes into the holes lightly with a rubber hammer
4. Wring two screws into the expanded rubber tubes, the screws head exposed wall about
6cm
5. Hang the PV data collector WIFIKIT on the screws，hold the metal part of the antenna
and rotate the antenna to a wanted position
Picture 2.2.1
2.2.2 Horizontal data collector installation
Lay the data collector on a flat surface
Note1: The protection level of PV data collector WIFIKIT is IP21. It cannot be installed outdoors or in the

conditions of damp, dusty or with corrosive steam. Direct sunlight is also avoided, as well as shock and
pressure defense. In addition, as metal components have effect on the wireless signals, the antenna of
PV data collector (in all direction) should be away from metal components at least 10cm.
Note2: When screw or adjusting the antenna position, please note only the metal part can be screwed,
plastic part cannot be screwed, or the antenna will be damaged. in addition, the unusual installation status
will affect the usage of data collector, more details please refer to the abnormal condition and dispose
during debugging.
