It talks to the array over the existing AC wiring and gives you per-inverter readings on a local LCD touch screen, with no separate data run to install.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy It Matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA microinverter array without a gateway is a system you only learn about from the utility bill. The BDG-256 reports each inverter individually, so a single underperforming module shows up as a named unit rather than as a vague shortfall across the whole array. It also serves as the commissioning interface: inverter configuration, dual-voltage and dual-frequency setup, and the local MICROVIEWER view all run from the same screen without an internet connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAC Input:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100-240 Vac, 50\/60 Hz, 60 mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.5 W maximum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicroinverter Communication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Power Line Communication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicroinverters Monitored:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 255\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eData Interface:\u003c\/strong\u003e USB 2.0, auto-sensing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWi-Fi:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supported (accessory required)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay:\u003c\/strong\u003e LCD touch screen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e -40°C to +55°C (-40°F to 131°F)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCooling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural convection, no fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indoor, NEMA 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.69 x 4.33 x 1.46 in (170 x 110 x 37 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.29 oz (150 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eListings And Ratings\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUL 60950-1 2nd edition · CSA C22.2 2nd edition · FCC Part 15 Class B · AS\/NZS · Eligible performance meter on the California CEC list\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting It To Your System\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the bare indoor gateway. It mounts indoors (NEMA 1) and communicates over the AC line, so it does not attach to the array's trunk cable and is not keyed to a trunk connector generation.
