1. Select Communicationè RS485-x Conf è Device Type è Revenue Meter.
2. Select Communication è RS485-x Conf è Protocol è SolarEdge.
3. Check that the meter's Modbus address specified in Communication è RS485-x
Conf è Device ID corresponds to the meters' DIP switch settings. Refer to"ID
DIPswitches" on page8.
4. Select Revenue Meter è Meter Func. è Export+Import / Export / Import /

Number of devices is not displayed
If <-->is displayed under the ## column in the Communication status screen, the
meter is not communicating with the inverter. Check the following:
The meter's ID DIP switch settings. Refer to "ID DIPswitches" on page8.
The meter's Termination DIP switch settings. Refer to "Termination DIPswitches" on
page9.
That the meter is configured as required in the chapter "Configuration" on page21
The RS485 wiring between the meter and the inverter/Commercial Gateway as
specified in To connect the RS485 wiring to the inverter: on page 17
There are no loose connections at the inverter connectors and at the meter,
specifically the RS485 wiring.
Check for water damage or sealing problems:
Inspect the entire conduit run for possible points of water penetration, and fix
leaks.
Ensure that proper outdoor rated components are used.
