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_na.pdf.

Figure 30: Example of Ethernet connection

To connect the Ethernet cable:

1. Remove the inverter cover as described in

Removing the Inverter Cover

on page 86.

2.

Open the communication gland #1.

CAUTION!

The gland includes a rubber waterproof fitting, which should be used to

ensure proper sealing.

 ATTENTION!
