Product Information: WiFi Adapter
The WiFi Adapter is a device that enables wireless communication
between an inverter and a router. It has indicator lights that show
the status of the connection and running status. The adapter can be
installed by attaching it to the inverter’s WiFi communication
interface, and it requires an app called AIMS Hybrid APP for
operation.
Product Usage Instructions

Attach the adapter to the inverter’s WiFi communication
interface as shown in the diagram. Do not hold the adapter’s body
to rotate while connecting or removing. Only turn the nut piece to
prevent breakage. Do not remove waterproof plug.
Step 2: Status Check
Check the indicator lights on the adapter to determine the
status of the connection and running status. The NET light
indicates the connection to the router, and the COM light indicates
communication with the inverter. The READY light indicates the
adapter’s running status. Refer to the table in the manual for a
detailed explanation of the different light patterns.
Step 3: Fault Troubleshooting

the table in the manual for simple troubleshooting tips. If the
fault doesn’t clear or the indicator light status is not listed in
