3. Hardware Installation
3.1 Preparation
Make sure you have the following components ready before
beginning to install the ECU-R:
 A dedicated standard AC electrical outlet (located
as close to the array as is possible).
 A broadband Internet connection available for your use.
 A broadband router with either a CAT5 Ethernet, or a wireless router.
 A phone with APP (see page 10).
3.2 Selecting an Installation Location for the ECU-R
 Choose a location that is as close to the array as possible
 The ECU-R is NOT rated for outdoor use, so if installing outdoors near a junction
box or breaker panel, make sure you enclose it in an appropriate weatherproof
NEMA electrical box.
3.3 Installation
1) Using a Wall Mount
When mounting the ECU-R to a wall, make sure to select a cool, dry indoor location.
 Depending on the wall surface you are mounting the ECU-R to, use either two
drywall screws or wall anchors, installed 100 mm apart (The drywall screws
and wall anchors are not included in the ECU-R kit).
 Align and slide the ECU-R onto the mounting screws.
