1.1 Read this first
The main purpose of this user manual is to provide instructions and detailed procedures for installing, operating,
maintaining, and troubleshooting the Autarco LAN Monitoring Gateway which is used with the Autarco
inverters.

Gateway, the following safety symbol appears throughout this document to indicate dangerous conditions and
important safety instructions:
WARNING! Indicates safety instruction, which if not correctly followed, can result in injury or

By connecting with single or multiple inverters through RS485/422 interface, the gateway can collect
information of PV-systems from inverters. The gateway connects to the router of the local area network, either
by WiFi or Ethernet cable, thereby transmitting data to the web server.
Users can check the runtime status of the device by checking the 4 LEDs on the panel, indicating power,
485/422, link and status respectively.
