2.5 Connecting the CAT 5 Parallel Stacking Cables
The router comes with four 6 ft. CAT 5 cables for parallel stacking. These
cables
must
be used when installing the router. They are like standard CAT 5
cables, but are rated for 300 VAC to allow their use with the MS-PAE inverters,
and they meet the electrical safety code requirements.
To connect the CAT 5 parallel stacking cables:
Connect a CAT 5 cable to the Stack Port on every inverter installed in
parallel (see Figure 2-5).
Route the inverter-connected CAT 5 cables from each inverter/charger
to your router. Depending on your particular setup, the cables may need
to be routed through walls or the MP Panel enclosure system.
Connect each CAT 5 cable to its respective CAT 5 port on the router (MA,
SL1, SL2, and SL3 ports for the appropriate number of inverters installed
in parallel). See Figure 2-6.
Info:
At least one CAT 5 cable must be plugged into the router’s
MA port in order for the router to operate any inverters.
