Frequently asked questions
Which devices speak the Suntech protocol?
Those from ST SUNLAB, a South Korean manufacturer with a strong presence in Brazil and the Southern Cone. That is why, in that region, it is a protocol any installer recognises.
I have several different ST series — are they registered the same way?
In essence yes. The catalogue is wide and there are many variants of the same series, so confirm the exact part number if you need an engine cut-off or sensor inputs: those do change between models.
Can I change my device's protocol?
No. It comes from the factory; what you configure is which server and port it reports to.
