Creating an Ethernet (LAN) Connection

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 – 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:
http://www.solaredge.us/files/pdfs/lightning_surge_protection.pdf. I f
grounded metal conduits are used for routing the communication wires,
there is no need for a lightning protection device.
To connect the Ethernet cable:
1. Remove the inverter cover as described in Removing the Inverter Cover on page 44.
2. Open the communication gland #1.
CAUTION!
The gland includes a rubber waterproof fitting, which should be used to ensure proper sealing.
Le cote interne du gland contient une rondelle qui doit être utilisée pour une bonne étancheïté.
3. Remove the plastic seal from the large opening that has a cut in the rubber fitting .
4. Remove the rubber fitting from the gland and insert the CAT5/6 cable through the gland and through
the gland opening in the inverter .
