TheinverterisconfiguredbydefaulttoLAN.Ifreconfigurationisrequired:
a. MakesuretheON/OFF/PswitchisOFF.
b. TurnONtheACtotheinverterbyturningONthecircuitbreakeronthemaindistributionpanel.
c. TurnONtheSafetySwitch.
WARNING!
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Do not touch uninsulated wires when the inverter cover is
removed.
AVERTISSEMENT!
RISQUE D’ÉLECTROCUTION, ne touchez pas les fils non isolés lorsque le couvercle de
l'onduleur est retiré.
d. ConfiguretheconnectionasdescribedinCommunicationonpage35.
NOTE
If your network has a firewall, you may need to configure it to enable the connection to the
following address:
l Destination Address: prod.solaredge.com
l TCP Port: 22222 (for incoming and outgoing data)
11. Verifytheconnection,asdescribedinVerifyingtheConnectiononpage53.
Creating an RS485 Bus Connection
TheRS485optionenablescreatingabusofconnectedinverters,consistingofupto31slaveinvertersand
1masterinverter.Usingthisoption,invertersareconnectedtoeachotherinabus(chain),viatheir
RS485connectors.Thefirstandlastinvertersinthechainmustbeterminatedasdescribedonpage52.
RS485wiringspecifications:
l Cabletype:Min.3-wireshieldedtwistedpair(ashieldedEthernetcable(Cat5/5ESTP)maybeused)
l Wirecross-sectionarea:0.2-1mm²/24-18AWG(aCAT5cablemaybeused)
l Maximumnodes:32
l Maximumdistancebetweenfirstandlastdevices:1km/3300ft.
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:
https://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/overvoltage_surge_protection_
na.pdf.
If grounded metal conduit are used for routing the communication wires, a lightning
protection device is not required.
If not using surge protection, connect the grounding wire to the first inverter in the RS485 chain;
make sure the grounding wire is not in contact with other wires. Connect the grounding wire to the
grounding bus-bar in the Safety Switch.
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46.
2. Removethesealfromoneoftheopeningsincommunicationglandandinsertthewirethroughthe
opening.
