FCC REMARKS
The equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Description of the CDD
The ABB MICRO Inverters associated with the CDD can be monitored using the CDD display, the CDD web
server interface, or from the Aurora Vision monitoring portal.
The CDD display allows simultaneous monitoring of all the associated inverters. The following information can
be viewed by navigating in the display menu:
• Operating status and statistics of each MICRO inverter
• Operating status of the connection to the internet/local network
• Alarm messages and fault indicators
The menus are navigated by means of buttons on the side of the CDD.

System integration
The diagram below shows several MICRO inverters communicating with a CDD, which in turn connects, by
Ethernet or wireless, to a PC or a router connected to the internet. It is also possible to manage and monitor
the system using a PC or Smartphone with internet access by registering on the Aurora Vision Plant Viewer.
The CDD device must be congured in order to commission the PV system. The following congurations must
be completed on the CDD for proper operation of the system:
• Acquisition of MICRO inverters
• Setting geographical parameters
• Setting of grid standard for the country/region of installation.
These operations can be carried out using the CDD display or the Web Server integrated in the CDD. When
conguring using the Web Server it is necessary to connect the CDD to a PC via Ethernet or Wireless (see
conguration and connection details in part 4).
Once the conguration has been completed, the device can be registered on the Plant Viewer web portal using
an internet connection, which allows remote monitoring of the MICRO inverters making up the PV system.
