4. Cut into the two-hole cable support sleeve with a box cutter. This will push the cable into the
grommet.
5. Press the cable support sleeve into the two-hole cable gland.
6. Insert the cable into the enclosure opening of the two-hole cable support sleeve.
7. Lead one end of each network cable into the inverter.
8. Put the network plug of each cable into one of the
network sockets of the communication assembly.
9. Ensure that the network connector is securely in place by pulling slightly on each cable.
10. Connect the other end of the network cable to the energy meter.

Connecting the energy meter

This section describes the connection of the energy meter to the inverter.
The energy meter measures the flow of energy out of and into the utility grid. The measured values
of the energy meter are transmitted to the inverter and influence the charging behavior of the
battery. The energy meter data may not be used for billing purposes.
Additionally required material (not included in the scope of delivery):
☐ 1 approved energy meter (SMA Energy Meter)
☐ 1 network cable
Cable requirements:
The cable length and quality affect the quality of the signal. Observe the following cable
requirements.
☐ Cable type: 100BaseTx
☐ Cable category: Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a or Cat7
☐ Plug type: RJ45 of Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6 or Cat6a
☐ Shielding: SF/UTP, S/UTP, SF/FTP or S/FTP
☐ Number of insulated conductor pairs and insulated conductor cross-section: at least 2 x 2 x
0.22 mm²
☐ Maximum cable length between two nodes when using patch cables: 50 m
☐ Maximum cable length between two nodes when using installation cables: 100 m
☐ UV-resistant for outdoor use
