2.1. Installing CLX Home

Perform the following steps to install the CLX Home box:

1.

Connect the power supply to the box and the mains supply.

2.

Connect the Ethernet cable to the CLX Home box and to an inverter/network router.

3.

Plug the RJ-45 terminator into one of the two RJ-45 RS-485 sockets of the CLX Home
box.

4.

Using an RJ-45 network cable (not included in the scope of delivery) (minimum cat 5e
STP network cable is required) connect the inverter to the free RJ-45 socket of the CLX
Home box.

5.

If more than one inverter must be connected, connect the inverters in an RS-485 daisy
chain (depending on inverter type, refer to the corresponding inverter manual).

6.

Terminate the inverter bus at the far end with the second RJ-45 terminator (included
in the scope of delivery), see the corresponding inverter manual for details. Different
inverter types are terminated differently.

Note: 
For initial configuration, it is important that the PC, tablet or Smartphone (with the Danfoss
SolarApp  installed)  are  connected  to  the  same  local  network  as  the  CLX  Home.  When  the
CLX  Home  is  configured  using  a  Smartphone  or  a  tablet,  the  internet  router  must  support
WiFi.

2.1.1. Mounting

The CLX Home is intended for either wall mounting using two 3 mm screws (not included in the
scope of delivery), or it can be used as a table top unit.
