Please call for information on data logging options / wiring diagrams. See the Fat Spaniel manual if your inverter is
equipped with Fat Spaniel Inverter-Direct. If
Fat Spaniel or SolView gateway
is installed in the inverter, then the
Ethernet CAT5 cable can be routed through the grommet on the right side of the inverter. Any RS485 daisy-chain
connections to other inverters can also use the grommet. 208VAC inverters have an integrated gateway power supply
but 480VAC units have a 120VAC supply than needs to be wired through the grommet as well. Note that the
grommet can be replaced with a conduit fitting and conduit.
