Replacing a Device

This section describes how to replace a device. If the device connecting to the NetEco 1000S needs to be replaced due to a fault or aging, you can replace it with a new one. Devices supporting the replacement include the inverter, EMI, Meter, optimizer, and SmartLogger.

Prerequisites

• You have logged in to the NetEco 1000S as the installer.
• You have added a device to the NetEco 1000S and the device state is normal.
• The old device has been deleted or is disconnected from the NetEco 1000S.
• The new device and the old device are connected to the same PV Plant.
• Please, remember the total yield energy value from the old inverter.

Procedure

1. Choose Maintenance > Device Maintenance from the main menu.
   
   
2. Click the Device Management tab.The Device Management window is displayed.
   
   
3. Click Replace Device.The Replace Device dialog box is displayed. Select a device type, and enter the Old device SN, New device SN and Device name. Then click OK.
   NOTE:
   After this operation the new inverter will replace automatically the old inverter and will continue with historical data of the old inverter.
   Device name specified here is the name of the new device to be displayed in the NetEco 1000S. Device name must be different from the names of the existing devices in the same PV plant.
   
4. Choose Monitor > select the inverter > Settings > Adjust total energy yield > select and set the Adjust total energy yield > Submit
5. You can check the total yield of the inverter in Historical Data > Data Analysis > Inverter Analysis > Comparative Analysis > Total > select the inverter > Query
   NOTE:
   If the old inverter appeared after some period again on the NetEco platform, log in to the Smart Logger WebUI and Remove the Device from the Smart Logger in Maintanance > Connect Device > mark the inverter > Remove Devices.
