1 Product description
1.1 Proper usage
The wireless LAN router is part of a digital remote display for the visualisation of a solar thermal system.
Other components are an appropriate solar thermal controller which transmits its readings to an interface
and a digital picture frame with a wireless LAN interface.
The current temperature readings of the selected solar energy system are visualised. In addition, the tem-
savings are displayed.
with a software version 2.0 or higher and for the European market with a software version 2.1 or higher. To
To allow the controller to send the current system data to the router, the slide switch of the controller needs
1.2 Components
The remote display consists of the following components:
wireless LAN router (ASUS WL-500g Premium V2 with special firmware for remote displays),
1.2.1 ASUS router with firmware for remote displays
The most important component of the remote display is the wireless LAN router ASUS WL-500gP V2 with
1.3 Functionality
The solar controller cyclically sends the current system data to the wireless LAN router. The data is embed-

2 Safety
2.1 Dangers during assembly/commissioning
The following risks exist during the commissioning of the router and the picture frame:
Danger to life due to electric shock caused by a damaged mains adapter plug.
During work on the solar thermal controller, the safety instructions for the controller instructions must
also be followed.
Ensure that the permissible ambient conditions at the installation site are observed.
2.2 Detecting faults
If it becomes apparent that safe operation is no longer guaranteed (e.g. visible damage), ensure that
the device is immediately disconnected from the mains.
2.3 Exclusion of liability
The manufacturer can neither monitor the compliance with this manual nor the conditions and methods
during the installation, operation, and usage of the devices. Improper installation of the system may result in
damage to property and, as a consequence, bodily injury.
Therefore, the manufacturer assumes no responsibility or liability for any loss, damage or costs arising from
or in any way related to incorrect installation, faulty performance of the installation work, improper operation as well as wrong use.

EZSETUP: The wireless LAN
interface is switched on or off by
pressing briefly. If the button is
kept pressed down for at least
5 seconds, the version number
display appears on the screen of
the picture frame. To prevent the
picture with the version numbers
from being overwritten within a
short period of time, the controller should be in “off” mode
during the procedure.
RESTORE: Quickly pressing the
button triggers a reset of the
image generation. This may be
necessary if a cable is pulled or
becomes loose or a display error
occurs. Pressing the button for at
least 10 seconds will restore to the
default condition and all stored
data will be deleted.
WAN/LAN ports: are not currently supported with the special firmware on the
remote display.
WAN/LAN: is not used for firmware
on remote displays.
