4.5.2 RS485 Communication
STT series three-phase inverter supports multiple inverters connection to a data logger in a 
daisy chain manner through RS485 protocol.
Multiple inverters connection diagram as shown in Figure 4-21:

4.5.3 Anti-reverse or power limit solution
Anti-reverse or power limit solution, wiring instructions and configuration, please contact 
Sunways after-sales at [email protected].
4.5.4 Connection steps:
1) Remove the CT/DRED plate in the bottom of the inverter with a cross screwdriver.
2) Put the cables which you need through the components in the following order: screw cap, 
sealing ring, insulator, metal plate, nut and 3/6pin connector, as shown in Figure 4-22:
3) Insert the cable to the port in the 3/6pin connector and fasten with a screwdriver.
4) Insert the 3/6pin connector into the 3/6pin connecter inside the inverter, and screw the CT/
DRED plate back with a cross screwdriver, as shown in Figure 4-23:

The maximum distance between the inverter at the end of the daisy chain and the Datalogger 
should be within 1000M.

2.DRED means demand response enable device. 

The AS/NZS 4777.2:2015 requires inverters to 

support demand response mode (DRM). This 

function is for inverter that comply with AS/

NZS4777.2:2015 standard.
3.Sunways inverter is fully complied with all 

DRM. The 6pin connector is used for DRM 

connection.
