6  TRIO 20.0/27.6-TL-OUTD-US-480 | Programming for HECO compliance

Appendix A: How to connect the laptop PC to the inverter 

To use the Aurora Manager LITE software, connect the laptop PC to the inverter on the RS485 PC/SERV port of the 
communication board using an USB-RS485 Adapter (the ABB PVI-USB-RS232_485 Converter is recommended). The following 
steps must be performed:

 

Switch OFF the inverter using the DC disconnect

 

Remove the wiring box cover by unscrewing the six (6) lateral screws

 

Remove the mylar cover on the communication board

 

Connect the RS485 cables on the PC/SERV port (see top blue rectangle box in Figure 6 above) using an RJ45 plug, or the 
terminal block (see bottom blue rectangle box in Figure 6 above) by wiring the GND COM, PC +T/R and PC  –T/R as shown in 
Figure 7 below.
