Page 32: Communication
The Savant Power System requires communication between the Sol-Ark Inverter and the Savant Director using the V2 Y Cable described in the Communication part of section 8 Savant. However, when custom wiring considerations are required, it is possible to create a custom Y Cable using standard CAT5 cabling. Use the Parent diagram for the Parent Sol-Ark inverter and the Child Diagram for any additional Sol-Ark inverters. - Page 33 Savant Systems, Inc. shall not be liable for any technical or editorial errors or omissions contained herein or for incidental or consequential damages resulting from the performance, furnishing, reliance on, or use of this material.
