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:

To connect the Ethernet cable:
1. Remove the inverter covers as described in Removing the Inverter Cover on page 55.
2. Open the communication gland #1.
CAUTION!
The gland includes a rubber waterproof fitting, which should be used to
ensure proper sealing.
3. Remove the plastic seal from one of the large openings.
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.
5. Insert the cable through the opening in the Connection Unit towards the
communication board.
6. Push the cable into the cut opening of the rubber fitting.
CAT5/6 standard cables have eight wires (four twisted pairs), as shown in the diagram
below. Wire colors may differ from one cable to another. You can use either wiring
standard, as long as both sides of the cable have the same pin-out and color-coding.

(1) The inverter connection does not support RX/TX polarity change. Supporting crossover Ethernet cables
depends on the switch capabilities.
