NOTE
An additional RS485 port (RS485-Plug-in) is available from SolarEdge, allowing
configuration of multiple RS485 buses for communications in large sites; Refer to
http://www.solaredge.com/files/pdfs/RS485_expansion_kit_installation_guide.pdf).
The following sections describe how to physically connect the RS485 bus and how to configure the bus.
To connect the RS485 communication bus:
1. Remove the inverter cover as described in Removing the Inverter Cover on page 42.
2. Remove the seal from one of the openings in communication gland and insert the wire through the
opening.
3. Pull out the 9-pin RS485 terminal block connector, as shown below:
4. Loosen the screws of pins A(+), B(-), and G on the left of the RS485 terminal block (RS485-1 or RS485-2).
5. Insert the wire ends into the G, A and B pins shown above. Use Four- or six-wire twisted pair cable for
this connection.
You can use any color wire for each of the A, B and G connections, as long as:
The same color wire is used for all A pins the same color for all B pins and the same color for all G
pins
The wire for G is not from the same twisted pair as A or B.
