Installation
The inverter has a communication port with a RJ45 connector accessible on the front of the
device. It may be necessary to remove the keypad, depending on the inverter model.
On the personal computer side the cable requires any standard USB type A port compliant with
Universal Serial Bus Specification 1.1.
The proper operation of the interface in the computer requires the installation of a device driver.
The device driver can be downloaded from the following link:
