Fronius Sensor Box Connects Weather Sensors to Monitoring
The Fronius Sensor Box collects data from irradiance, temperature, wind and other sensors and sends it to the Fronius Datamanager over the Fronius Solar Net ring. Your monitoring then shows site conditions next to your solar production.
That makes it much easier to tell whether a slow day was the weather or a system problem.
Why You'll Love The Fronius Sensor Box
Know why output changes. Compare production with irradiance and module temperature to see if your array is performing as it should.
Lots of inputs in one box. Two digital inputs, two PT1000 temperature channels, an irradiation voltage channel and a current input cover the common solar sensors.
Plugs into your Fronius network. Two RS422 RJ45 Solar Net ports (IN and OUT) link the box into an existing Fronius monitoring ring.
Low power. 12VDC supply and 1.3W consumption.
Your life, with the Fronius Sensor Box
A cloudy week used to leave you wondering if something was wrong. Now you open your monitoring, see the sunlight readings next to production and know straight away that the system is fine. When something does need attention, you spot it fast.
The Fronius Sensor Box in a nutshell
Digital inputs D1 and D2
For pulse sources such as an electricity meter or the Fronius wind speed sensor.
Temperature channels T1 and T2
PT1000 inputs for the Fronius module temperature and ambient temperature sensors.
Irradiation and current inputs
A voltage channel for the Fronius irradiation sensor and a 0/4 to 20 mA current input for other sensors.
Solar Net connection
Two RJ45 Solar Net ports send all readings to the Fronius Datamanager and on to Solar.web.
