Enclosure & Design Features The EBOX-WIFI module features an IP30 rated enclosure, providing protection against solid objects larger than 2.5mm. Its compact dimensions (51 x 67 x 24.5mm) and lightweight design (40g) make it easy to integrate into existing solar setups. LED indicators clearly show power and network status, while pre-drilled mounting holes simplify installation. Common Questions What is the "Solar Station" app? The Solar Station app is a free mobile application for iOS and Android devices that allows you to connect to the EBOX-WIFI module. It provides a user-friendly interface for monitoring your solar charge controller's performance and adjusting its settings remotely. Can I use a different cable length? The EBOX-WIFI module comes with a 1.9m RJ45 cable. While this cable can be replaced with a shorter or longer standard RJ45 connection cable, ensure the replacement cable is of suitable quality for reliable communication. Is an additional cable needed for RS485 controllers? Yes, for solar charge controllers equipped with an RS485 port, an additional RS485 to RJ45 cable will be required to connect the EBOX-WIFI module. Please check your controller's specifications. What does IP30 mean? An IP30 rating indicates that the enclosure is protected against solid objects larger than 2.5mm, such as tools or thick wires. It does not provide protection against water or other liquids. Installation Notes Ensure your solar charge controller is compatible with the EBOX-WIFI module (Tracer TR/PTR, VS****BN, LS**24B, PU series). Connect the module to the designated port on your charge controller using the supplied 1.9m RJ45 cable. For controllers with an RS485 port, an additional RS485 to RJ45 cable is required. Mount the module in a dry, protected location, considering its IP30 rating. Download the Solar Station app from your mobile device's app store. Before You Buy Verify your solar charge controller model against the compatibility list. Confirm if your controller has an RJ45 or RS485 port to determine if an additional cable is needed. Note that this module is not suitable for dual battery solar charge controllers. Ensure you have a smartphone (iOS or Android) to use the Solar Station app. Consider the 50m Wi-Fi radius for optimal placement of the module and your monitoring device. Please verify all specifications and compatibility requirements with your existing solar system components before purchase. Product details are based on manufacturer information.
