Creating an Ethernet (LAN) Connection

This communication option enables using an Ethernet connection to connect the
inverter to the monitoring platform through a LAN.
Ethernet cable specifications:
Cable type – a shielded Ethernet cable (Cat5/5E STP) may be used
Maximum distance between the inverter and the router – 100 m/ 330 ft.
NOTE
If using a cable longer than 10 m / 33 ft in areas where there is
a risk of induced voltage surges by lightning, it is recommend
to use external surge protection devices.
For details refer to:

protection.pdf.
To connect the Ethernet cable:
1. Remove the inverter cover as described in Removing the Inverter Cover on
page 50.
2. Open the communication gland.
CAUTION!
The gland includes a rubber waterproof fitting, which should be used to
ensure proper sealing.
3. Remove the plastic seal from one of the large openings.
4. Remove the rubber fitting from the gland and insert the CAT5/6 cable through the
gland and through the gland opening in the inverter.
5. Push the cable into the cut opening of the rubber fitting.
