Installation Guide
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
LCDmenus:
Communication è Server è LAN, ZigBee,or CDMA
RS485-E Conf. è Device Type è SolarEdge
RS485-E Conf. è Protocol è Master
RS485-E 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.
