4.3.1. Installing the CLX Box
Perform the following steps to install the CLX box:
1.
Connect the power supply to the box and the mains supply.
2.
Connect the Ethernet cable to the CLX 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 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
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:
Remember to run a network scan for connected inverters. For details, see the chapter
