Installation Manual

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.
