General remarks
Machine concept The FRONIUS IG personal display enables current performance data to be viewed at
any time at any location within a specified distance of the unit.
All that is required to enable data to be sent to the personal display is the relevant
display card with a radio antenna for the FRONIUS IG. The power for the personal
display is supplied from batteries or from the power supply unit supplied with the equip-
ment. erformance data from up to 15 FRONIUS IGs can be shown on the personal
display. The different display modes enable performance data from the whole installation
or from each individual inverter to be viewed.
System require-
ments
FRONIUS IG system requirements for running the FRONIUS IG personal display:
- FRONIUS IG with serial number 17xxxxxx or above
- Relevant display card with radio antenna for FRONIUS IG

Preparing your FRONIUS IG for commissioning
General remarks WARNING! Mains voltage can cause fatal injuries. The connection area
should only ever be opened by an authorised electrical engineer, and only
when the power is disconnected.
WARNING! Mains voltage and DC voltage from the solar modules can cause
fatal injuries. lug-in cards must not be installed unless the FRONIUS IG
- has been disconnected on the mains (AC) side.
- has been disconnected on the solar module side (DC side)
To install a plug-in card:
1. ut FRONIUS IG into "Standby" mode
2. Disconnect FRONIUS IG on both the AC and DC sides
3. Open connection area by removing the LCD foceplate. See chapter entitled "Ope-
ning the housing" in your FRONIUS IG operating instructions
4. Unplug the ribbon cable that attaches the LCD faceplate cover to the unit from the
control board
NOTE! Risk of damage to the plug-in card. Be sure to follow the general ESD
regulations when fitting plug-in cards.

NOTE! In the case of systems with several inverters, the antennae must be at
least 0.5 m (20 in.) apart so that communication with the personal display is not
disrupted. For an optimum range, we recommend a distance of 1 m (39 in.)
Important! The mounting bracket is part of the antenna. Only fit the antenna to the
mounting bracket supplied with the antenna.

(continued)
NOTE! The following points should be borne in mind when installing the display
card:
- Only install the display card in the "Option 1" or "Option 2" slots
- Under no circumstances should it be installed in the slot on the extreme
left, which is labelled ENS
7. Close the housing
8. Connect AC and DC lines to FRONIUS IG
The antenna is supplied with a 2 m (6.74 ft) connecting cable. If the FRONIUS IG is
installed in a location that is shielded from radio waves, this cable allows the antenna to
be installed where it can receive radio waves.
