3 Setting up interfaces, WLAN, app
SOL interface • Version: 24.11.2017 • Technical changes and errors excepted.
The device may only be used as a fixed-site installation; that means only when assem-
bled and after conclusion of all installation and operational start-up tasks and only in
the surroundings designated for it.
Elsner Elektronik is not liable for any changes in norms and standards which may occur
after publication of these operating instructions.
2.2. Prerequisites
In order to be able to use the SOL interface following requirements must be fulfilled:
• A mobile device must be available (smart phone or tablet) with the Android
operating system 4.0.3 or higher or Apple iOS 8.0 or higher.
• A Solexa II system with weather station (from version 1.1) must be installed.
• A router and an active wireless network (WLAN) must be available. Take
appropriate actions to protect your WLAN against unauthorised access, e.g.
encryption etc.!
2.3. Notes on wireless equipment
When planning facilities with devices that communicate via radio, adequate radio re-
ception must be guaranteed. The range of wireless control will be limited by legal reg-
ulation and structural circumstances. Avoid sources of interference and obstacles be-
tween receiver and transmitter, that could disturb the wireless communication. Those
would be for example:
• Walls and ceilings (especially concrete and solar protection glazing).
• Metal surfaces next to the wireless participants (e. g. aluminium construction
of a conservatory).
• Other wireless devices and powerful local transmitters (e.g. wireless
headphones), which transmit on the same frequency (868,2 MHz). Please
maintain a minimum distance of 30 cm between wireless transmitters for that
reason.
2.4. Notes on mounting and commissioning
Device must not be exposed to water (rain). This could result in the electronic being
damaged. A relative air humidity of 95% must not be exceeded. Avoid bedewing.
