6.7 Connection to digital input DI 1-4
6.7.1 Digital input DI 1-4
An external signal source can be connected to digital input DI 1-4 (e.g. for active power limitation).
In a system with multiple inverters, the external signal source must be connected to digital input DI
1-4 of the System Manager.

6.7.4 Connecting signal source to DI 1-4
Procedure:
1. Connect the connection cable to the digital signal source (see the manual from manufacturer).
2. Disconnect the inverter from all voltage sources (see Section9, page67).
3. Remove the filler plug from the enclosure opening which is located at the bottom of the
inverter.
4. Insert the conduit fitting into the opening and tighten from the inside using the counter nut.
