Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 plug on board in the inverter, as
follows:
Insert the Ethernet wire via one of the small cable glands on the
bottom of the inverter.
If required, remove the existing plug.
The
inverter glands come pre-sealed from the factory. Removing the
sealing is needed to insert the cable.
CAUTION:
If a gland is opened and not used, then make sure to reseal it. Otherwise, it
may affect the inverter’s functionality.
CAUTION:
The internal side of the gland includes an o-ring, which should be used to
ensure proper sealing.
Remove the cable’s external isolation using the crimping tool and
expose the wires. Standard cables have 8 wires (4 twisted pairs).
For Ethernet communication, 4 wires (2 twisted pairs) are used.
Figure 23: Preparing Connector Wiring
Only wires numbered 1, 2, 3 and 6 in the diagram on the left above
should be connected. To make crimping easier, wires numbered 3,
6, 7 and 8 do not need to be connected.
