Product catalog summary
Overview: The REFUconnect radio module is designed for wireless communication in photovoltaic (PV) systems, capable of networking up to 2000 inverters and transferring data securely and reliably, even in high-interference environments.
Specifications:
  • Radio System: Operates in the 2.4 to 2.5 GHz ISM band with a maximum transmission power of 20 dBm and receiver sensitivity of -99 dBm at a 0.1% bit error rate. The transmission rate is up to 2.1 Mbits/s per hop, with a range of up to 300 meters per hop. The network can support up to 2000 nodes with 128-bit encryption for security.
  • External Interface: Power supply ranges from 7 to 28 V/DC, typically consuming 1.6 W, with a maximum of 2.8 W. It supports Ethernet IEEE 802.3u (Fast Ethernet), 10/100 Base-T.
  • Dimensions/Weight: The module measures 120 mm in width, 122 mm in height, and 65 mm in depth, with an antenna length of 200 mm and diameter of 16 mm. The weight is approximately 400 grams.
  • Environmental Conditions: Operates within a temperature range of -25°C to +60°C and has an IP65 protection rating, making it suitable for outdoor use.
Key Features:
  • Intelligent wireless network with easy communication links and flexible installation options.
  • Acts as a repeater to bridge distances over several kilometers.
  • Low power consumption, powered directly by the inverter.
  • Secure data transfer with password protection, ensuring data remains invisible to unauthorized users.
Additional Information: The module is subject to modifications, and technical specifications may change without notice. For further details, contact REFUsol GmbH.

Technical datasheet Electrifying Innovations REFU connect Lots of data - no cable ■ Intelligent wireless network ■ Easy communication links ■ Flexible installation options The REEUconnect radio module ensures wireless communica- tion between all inverters in a PV system. It can network to- gether up to 2000 inverters and transfer their data REEUconnect uses a radio standard, which also establish- es and maintains secure and reliable connections even in high-interference industrial environments. In this context, the module is simultaneously used as a repeater, so that distances over several kilometers can be bridged without difficulty. The range of such an individual connection can total up to 300 m The radio modules have very low power consumption and are supplied directly by the inverter. The network is password-pro- tected. This means that data is transferred securely, remaining invisible to non-authorized network participants.
