Creating an Ethernet (LAN) Connection
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:
protection.pdf.
To connect the Ethernet cable:
1. Remove the inverter cover as described in Removing the Inverter Cover on page 46.
2. Open the communication gland.
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. 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.
