Creating an Ethernet (LAN) Connection
This communication option enables using an Ethernet connection to connect the inverter to the
monitoring portal through a LAN.
Ethernet cable specifications:
Cable type – CAT5/CAT6
l
Maximum distance between the inverter and the router – 100 m/ 330 ft.
l
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:

grounded metal conduit are used for routing the communication wires,
there is no need for a lightning protection device.
