The 12V (pin7) can be used as the supply voltage to the sensor. Optionally, an external power
supply can be connected to the sensors if a different input voltage to the sensor is required.
CAUTION!
Excessive current on the sensor input can damage the SolarEdge gateway. Refer to input ranges
specified in
Appendix A: Technical Specifications

Menus
The SolarEdge gateway sensor interface is disabled by default. The following shows a hierarchical tree of
the Sensors menu options:
