Installation Guide

11. If not using surge protection, connect the grounding wire to the first inverter in the
RS485 chain; make sure the grounding wire is not in contact with other wires. For
inverters with a StorEdge Connection Unit, connect the grounding wire to the
grounding bus-bar in the StorEdge Connection Unit.
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 9.0 N*m/ 6.6 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 Connection Unit.
3.
Wait for the inverter to connect to the SolarEdge monitoring platform. This may take
up to two minutes.
