Installation Guide

To connect to the monitoring platform:
1. DesignateasingleinverterastheconnectionpointbetweentheRS485busandtheSolarEdge
monitoringplatform.Thisinverterwillserveasthemasterinverter.
2. ConnectthemastertotheSolarEdgemonitoringplatformviatheLANorZigBeecommunication
option.
To configure the RS485 communication bus:
Allinvertersareconfiguredbydefaultasslaves.Ifreconfigurationisrequired:
1. MakesuretheON/OFFswitchisOFF.
2. TurnONtheACtotheinverterbyturningONthecircuitbreakeronthemaindistributionpanel.
WARNING!
ELECTRICALSHOCKHAZARD.Donottouchuninsulatedwireswhentheinvertercoverisremoved.
AVERTISSEMENT!
RISQUE D’ÉLECTROCUTION, ne touchez pas les fils non isolés lorsque le couvercle de l'onduleur est
retiré.
3.
Usetheinternalbuttonstoconfiguretheconnection(slightlytouchtheblacksquarebuttons).Toset
theinverterdesignatedasmaster,selectthefollowingintheLCDmenus:
l CommunicationèServerè LAN,ZigBee, orCDMA
l RS485-1Conf.è DeviceTypeè SolarEdge
l RS485-1Conf.èProtocolè Master
l RS485-1Conf.è Slave Detect
Thesystemstartsautomaticdetectionoftheslaveinvertersconnectedtothemasterinverter.The
invertershouldreportthecorrectnumberofslaves.Ifitdoesnot,verifytheconnectionsand
terminations.
4. Verifytheconnectionofthemastertothemonitoringplatform,asdescribedinthenextsection.
Verifying the Connection
Afterconnectingandconfiguringacommunicationoption,performthefollowingstepstocheckthat
theconnectiontothemonitoringserverhasbeensuccessfullyestablished.
1. Closetheinvertercover:Attachtheinvertercoverandsecureitbytighteningthescrewswitha
torqueof3.0N*m/2.2lb.*ft.Forpropersealing,firsttightenthecornerscrewsandthenthetwo
centralscrews.
2. IfnotalreadyON-TurnONtheACtotheinverterbyturningONthecircuitbreakeronthemain
distributionpanelandturningontheSafetySwitch.
3. WaitfortheinvertertoconnecttotheSolarEdgemonitoringplatform.Thismaytakeuptotwo
minutes.
AstatusscreensimilartothefollowingappearsontheLCDpanel:
V a c [ V ] V d c [ V ] P a c [ w ]
2 4 0 . 7 1 4 . 1 0 . 0
P _ O K : 0 0 0 / 0 0 0 < S _ O K >
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - O F F
S_OK:IndicatesthattheconnectiontotheSolarEdgemonitoringplatformissuccessful.IfS_OKisnot
displayed,refertoTroubleshootingCommunicationonpage62.
