1 Product description
1.1 Proper usage
The IFA router (Internet remote display router) is a part of the Internet-based digital remote display for the
visualisation of a solar thermal system. The IFA router enables the display of temperature and performance
data of a solar thermal system in your Internet browser window*. In order to be able to display this data,
you will need a PC with Internet connection. For this purpose, the solar thermal controller (referred to
The current temperature readings of the selected solar energy system are visualised. In addition, the tem-
savings are also displayed.
The prerequisites for the Internet-based remote display are a suitable controller and an Internet connection
via a broadband router with modem** for the IFA router. The broadband router must have a free LAN port
The IFA router can also send the graphics via the integrated WLAN to a WLAN-capable digital picture

1.2 Components
The remote display consists of the following components:
A suitable solar thermal controller (not included in the IFA router delivery package)

1.3 Functionality
The controller cyclically sends the current system data to the IFA router, which forwards the data to a central
server. This server then displays the data in visualised form on the Internet. The data is embedded into the
appropriate system image in the IFA router and the temperature diagram is generated. The system image
and the temperature diagram are sent via the wireless LAN interface from the IFA router to a digital picture
frame.

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 controller, the safety instructions for the controller instructions must also be fol-
lowed.
Ensure that the permissible ambient conditions at the installation site are maintained.
2.2 Detecting faults
As soon as it becomes evident that safe operation is no longer guaranteed (e.g. visible damage),
remove the device from the mains supply immediately.
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.
Likewise, the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for infringement of patent rights or violations of
other rights of third parties arising from the use of the devices.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes to the product, technical data or installation and
operating instructions without prior notice.
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for the content of the images uploaded. The responsibility for
the content of the uploaded images lies solely with the operator.

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.

5 Mounting and installation
NOTE
Please note the MAC address before mounting. This is on the rear side of
the IFA router and is required for registration (see drawing below).
5.1 Mounting the router
The device can be mounted on the wall or the ceiling.
1. Locate the mounting holes on the underside.
2. Mark the two upper holes on the wall or on a raised level surface.
3. Tighten the two screws on the wall far enough that only a residual
length of 0.5 cm protrudes.
4. Hook the mounting holes of the ASUS WL-500gP V2 onto the
screws.
Reading the MAC address
NOTE
Re-align the screws if you are not able to mount the ASUS wireless LAN
router, or if it is too loose.
