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 – a shielded Ethernet cable (Cat5/5E STP) may be used
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.
