7.4 RS485 CONNECTORS
The two connectors in the centre of the connection blockare
RS485 connectors. They can be used for connecting up to 20
CS inverters. They also connect your inverter to an optional
Datalogger. We recommend not to make a ringnetwork or
T-connections in your RS485 network. The maximum network
length is 1000m.
Connections between the devices are made by standard
straight UTP cables. Mastervolt can supply these cables.
These cables are also commonly available at computer
supply stores.
