Steca PA CAB1 Tarcom/Steca PA CAB2/Steca PA CAB3
Description
Steca data cables connect the Steca Tarom 4545/4545-48 (PA CAB2), Tarom MPPT 6000-M (PA CAB3) and Power Tarom (PA CAB1) solar charge controllers to the PC via a USB connection. Systems can therefore be monitored directly without a data logger. This function is particularly suitable for short-term system monitoring and on-site inspections. The most important system data are transmitted to the PC in real time and can be evaluated and graphically visualised using the Steca TarCom software. For convenient data transmission, a driver and the Steca TarCom software must first be installed on the PC (download at www.kontron-solar.com). In the StecaTarCom software menu, ‘Tarom RJ45 in’ can be selected under Options/Settings/Extra. The software then directly accesses the data from the solar charge controller and displays it on the PC.
