1.

 

Loosen the screws of the cover using a screwdriver (T25) and remove the cover. 
(see Section 5.4.2). 

2.

 

Unscrew the swivel nut of the M25 cable gland, remove one filler-plug from the 
cable gland and keep it well. If there is only one network cable, please keep 
another filler-plug in the remaining hole of the sealing ring against water ingress.   

               

 

 

3.

 

The current pinout assignment for network cable complies with the EIA/TIA 568 
standard. Please refer and apply it for physical implementation as needed. 

 

4.

 

Route  the  network  cable  into  the  inverter  through  the  M25  cable  gland,  and 
connect it to the RJ45 socket located on the lower circuit board.
