Creating a ZigBee Connection
This communication option enables using a ZigBee connection for one of the following:
To connect the inverter to the SolarEdge monitoring portal
To create a master/slave bus of connected inverters
The ZigBee device is purchased separately and provided with a user manual, which should be reviewed
prior to connection. It is available on the SolarEdge website at
http://www.solaredge.com/groups/products/accessories (under ZigBee)
Connecting a Laptop to the Inverter
To connect a laptop to the inverter, use the internal mini-USB connector (type B 5-pin) located on the
inverter communication board (see Figure 15 on page 41).
The USB port uses a standard USB driver that can connect to any standard PC or laptop with a Windows
operating system. If the USB connection is not recognized, install a USB driver, downloadable directly from
the manufacturer website at http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm.
Verifying the Connection
1 Close the inverter cover (see also page 23).
2 Turn ON the AC to the inverter by turning ON the circuit breaker on the main distribution panel.
3 Wait for the inverter to connect to the SolarEdge monitoring portal. This may take up to two
minutes.
A status screen similar to the following appears on the LCD panel:
