iLINK
Installation & User Guide
This is a guide to the installation and setup of the iLINK to
enable remote data monitoring and control of IMMERSUN via
the MYIMMERSUN app and website.
Installing the CT clamp
This part of the installation concerns the IMMERSUN unit only
To get the full functionality of the MYIMMERSUN
app, it is necessary for the IMMERSUN to measure
the power from the inverter. This is done by
installing an additional CT clamp around the
inverted AC Live cable.
WARNING LIVE CABLES!
CT clamp wired to CT2 in
IMMERSUN or Wireless Sensor
Often the easiest place to install the additional CT is
in the consumer unit that houses the MCB for the
inverter. Alternative the CT can be installed inside
the AC isolator or the inverter.
Isolate the MAIN SWITCH in the consumer unit and
clip the CT clamp around the LIVE cable to the
microgeneration inverter.
