4.2 Connections of the AP PLC Gateway
A
RS485: This is a data line. It is connected to
an “A” connection (for example to the USB-
RS485 Interface Adapter).
B
RS485: This is a data line. It is connected to
a “B” connection (for example to the USB-
RS485 Interface Adapter).
Earth Conductor
Cable Shield
Functional Earth
L/L1
Micro
Inverter
This is the supply line to the respective
inverter group (AC circuit branch). This
wire is to be connected to the phase of the
inverters.
L/L1
50Hz/60Hz
This is the phase of the network
connection. This wire is to be connected
with a pole of the circuit breaker.
N/L2
50Hz/60Hz
This is the common neutral. This wire is to
be connected to the neutral of the inverter
and the second pole of the circuit breaker.
4.3 LED-Light
The LED-Light indicates the operation status of the
gateway. The power supply is working properly when
the light continuously illuminated.
4.4 Protection Concepts
The following monitoring concepts and protection
plans are included in the AEconversion PLC Gateway:
2004 / 108 /EC: Directive on electromagnetic
compatibility
according to: DIN EN 61000-6-1, DIN EN 61000-6-2, DIN
EN 61000-6-3, DIN EN 61000-6-4, DIN EN 61000-3-2, DIN
EN 61000-3-3
Concerning: interference resistance, transient emissions,
circuit feedback for device types <16A
2006 / 95 / EC: Directive on electrical equipment
designed for use within certain voltage limits
according to:
IEC55011B: EMC
IEC 60950 / UL60950: Safety
EIA-485: RS485-Standard (Connection of the data cable
to Superior Systems)
(ANSI/TIA/EIA-485-A-98) (R2003):
Electrical Characteristics of Generators and Receivers for
use in Balanced Digital Multipoint Systems
5.0 Gateway Pre-Installation
The following instructions describe the aspects to be
noted before the installation of the Gateway.
Before installing the AEconversion PLC Gateway, the PV
system must be mounted and electrically installed. This
must be done in accordance with the corresponding
Micro-Inverter Manual, in compliance with all listed
safety instructions.
For questions regarding the installation of the inverters,
please refer to the respective micro-inverter manual.
In addition, please note the important safety
information listed in 1.1 and 2.1 of this manual.
