Procedure:
1. Remove the sealing plugs from the network connection opening on the inverter.
2. Insert the conduit fitting into the opening and tighten from the inside using the counter nut.
3. Attach the conduit to the conduit fitting.
4. Lead the communication cable into the inverter.
5. Strip the communication cable 50mm (2in).
6. Trim the cable shield to a length of 15mm (0.59in)
and fold it over the cable sheath.
7. Strip the insulation on the insulated conductors each by 6mm (0.24in). The CAN L and CAN
H must be a twisted pair.
