6.1 Commissioning the SD card (MPPT 6000-M only)
CAUTION!
Never forcibly insert or remove the microSD card. This can damage the card holder and/or the
microSD card.
NOTICE!
– A microSD card is not included in the scope of delivery for the device.
–
microSD and microSDHC cards with a capacity of up to 8 GB can be used.
– The microSD card must be formatted with a FAT16 or FAT32 file system.
– Data from the MPPT 6000-M and any connected StecaLink slave devices can be recorded
on the microSD card.
– Settings parameters for the MPPT 6000-M can be saved to and read from the microSD
card.
– Take care to observe the correct insertion direction, as shown on the microSD card and the
device.
– Carefully and gently push the microSD card into the opening in the device casing until it
latches into place.
– Remove the microSD card by pushing it further into the device until it unlatches, then let
go of the card and allow it to eject and finally pull the card out of the socket (Push-Pull
connector).
– Data recording onto the SD card is deactivated at the factory for newly delivered devices.
1. Insert a formatted microSD card.
