help needed guys please regarding inverter choice

The PVI-3600 is a different model altogether. If the installer is changing this for a 3.6 OUTD then you're getting a good deal.

Ok guys

An update to this - new inverter fitted PVI-3.6-OUTD. But this won't connect to my new aurora desktop monitor . The radio card has been fitted but the unit will not pick up a signal.

Just browsing through manual and it says it doesn't work with the OUTD model.
Looking on the power one website for the monitor support page, the installer video shows the guy connecting it up to an OUTD model

Has anyone got this combo working? Or am I in for another fight with the installer for a refund. I've tried a firmware update. On the side of the unit it self it says PVI-DESKTOP-IT. But has a UK sticker stuck on it. (I'm assuming it's been converted from Italian to uk stock?)


Any answers for me guys- once again thanks in advance

I have fitted a couple of wireless cards to PVI-3.0-OUTD inverters without a problem. The 3.6 model should work equally well.

Sorry if I am teaching you to suck eggs, but the frequency at which the wireless link operates means it is line of sight and does not like going through thick masonary walls or foil lined walls. A few tips:
- get the connection working with the desktop beside the inverter, before moving it further away.
- I do not have the instructions in front of me, but I recall there is a litle lever on the card to reset the wireless card.
- the external aerial on the inverter can be rotated: try it vertical, horizontal and at 45 degrees and rotate in the horizontal plane to see which give the strongest signal at the desktop device.

Thanks for the quick reply - the installer had the unit in the attic with him. He'd never done one before with the radio card installed .
