52 Removing the Inverter Cover

Removing the Inverter Cover

If the inverter cover is not already removed, use the following procedure for cover
removal.
To remove the inverter cover
1. Turn the inverter ON/OFF/P switch to OFF. Wait 5 minutes for the capacitors to
discharge.
2. Turn the Connection Unit (if applicable) to OFF.
3. Disconnect the AC to the inverter by turning OFF the circuit breakers on the
distribution panel.
4. Open the Allen screws of the inverter cover and carefully pull the cover horizontally
before lowering it.
CAUTION!
When removing the inverter cover, make sure not to damage the internal
components. SolarEdge will not be held responsible for any components
damaged as a result of incautious cover removal.

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.
