7. Fortheswitch/routerside,useapre-crimpedcableoruseacrimpertoprepareanRJ45
communicationconnector:InserttheeightwiresintotheRJ45connectorinthesameorderasabove
(Figure34).
8. ConnectthecableRJ45connectortotheRJ45portoftheEthernetswitchorrouter.
Youcanconnectmorethanoneinvertertothesameswitch/routerortodifferentswitches/routers,
asneeded.EachinvertersendsitsmonitoreddataindependentlytotheSolarEdgemonitoringportal.
9.
TheinverterisconfiguredbydefaulttoLAN.Ifreconfigurationisrequired:
a. MakesuretheON/OFF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.
RISQUE D’ÉLECTROCUTION, ne touchez pas les fils non isolés lorsque le couvercle de
l'onduleur est retiré.
d. Usetheinternaluserbuttonstoconfiguretheconnection,asdescribedinCommunicationon
page45.
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)
10. Verifytheconnection,asdescribedinVerifyingtheConnectiononpage78.
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.
RS485wiringspecifications:
l Cabletype:Min.3-wireshieldedtwistedpair(a4-wirecable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:
http://www.solaredge.us/files/pdfs/lightning_surge_protection.pdf. If grounded metal conduit are
used for routing the communication wires, there is no need for a lightning protection device.
NOTE
If a revenue grade meter is connected to your inverter, it uses the RS485 port and therefore an
RS485 communication bus cannot be created.
ThefollowingsectionsdescribehowtophysicallyconnecttheRS485busandhowtoconfigurethebus.
