Connecting the StorEdge Interface
Connecting the StorEdge Interface to the Inverter
To connect to the inverter DC:
1. Prepare one pair of DC cables with MC4 connectors at both ends - male at one end and female at the
other end.
2. Connect one end of the cables to the inverter, and connect the other end t o the DC+ and DC- input
connectors marked INV OUT.
NOTE
If all the inverter DC inputs are connected to PV strings, use a branch cable (available from
SolarEdge) to connect the StorEdge Interface to the inverter DC input.
To connect RS485 communication between the inverter and StorEdge
Interface:
RS485 wiring specifications:
Cable type: Min. 3-wire shielded twisted pair (a shielded Ethernet cable (Cat5/5e STP) may be used)
l
Wire cross-section area: 0.2- 1 mm²/ 24-18 AWG (a CAT5 cable may be used)
l
1. Connect one end to the RS485 terminal block marked "RS485 to Inv." in the StorEdge Interface (see
Figure 11):
a. Open gland #2.
b. Remove the seal from one of the openings and insert the wire through the opening.
