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:
l 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.
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: http://www.solaredge.us/files/pdfs/lightning_surge_
protection.pdf. A surge protection device is available from SolarEdge.

installation_guide.pdf
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 Connection Unit.
