I am new to the Schneider products & offgrid systems. I've been an electrical contractor for 30+ years & have completed projects ranging from Casinos in Las Vegas to solar fields for First Solar. I am currently working on an offgrid project that is incorporating 2 systems. 1 - a single inverter Conext 5548 w/ MPPT 80-600. 2 - 2 Conext 6848 inverters w/ 2 MPPT 80-600.
I recently purchased the Config tool to install these systems. There was not any instructions or help with the Config tool. Is there anyone there that has a video or a ladder logic set of instructions for this tool?
Thanks
Denny

    Rereading your post, I see it's a tool to set up the fear, not string configs.

    Hi Denny,

    Our host,  Northern Arizona Wind and Sun, Rick sent me a link to the manual.


    Generally, where you purchase your Schneider hardware is your first level of support.

    Generally one does not need this tool for Offgrid. It is just as easy to use the SCP, a combox, or the new Conext Gateway. The Gateway will allow remote from site configuration/monitoring. The gateway cost will save a truck roll the first time.

    You may need to add drivers to get this tool working. It does have a nice monitoring excel program that may help you. below a link for the driver. It might be good to go to the web site and learn how it works. Good Luck!
