    2. Product Overview 2. Product Overview 2.1. Product Description Grid management of PV plants with TLX Pro or TLX Pro+ inverters is handled by the CLX GM and the master functionality of the TLX Pro and TLX Pro+ inverters. The CLX GM is connected directly to the output of a radio ripple control receiver. The receiver has 4 digital outputs K1-K4, which are used by the grid operators for signalling either power reduction or reactive power setpoint commands.

    4. Installation 4. Installation 4.1. Installation The CLX GM is connected to the master inverter of the inverter network via LAN interface, con- sisting of an Ethernet network between the inverters and the CLX GM. Use a standard patch cable (network cable cat5e or better with RJ-45 connectors). Note: On all units, remember to use the Ethernet (LAN) RJ-45 connectors and not the RS-485 in- terface.

    4. Installation Like all electronic equipment, all products in the CLX GM must be protected from humidity, in particular condensation. 4.3. Signalling of Grid Management Signalling of grid management is handled by the ripple control receiver of the DNO. The con- nection between the ripple control receiver and the CLX GM is type-dependent.
