• Allow for some slack in the cable tension.
• Do not staple the cable outside the inverter with metal cable staples.
Use the appropriate hardware fasteners to avoid damage to the cable.
Connecting the Gateway to a GT Inverter
The GT Inverter is equipped with two Xanbus (RJ-45) network ports
inside the wiring box. See Figure 2-4. Follow the guidelines for
connecting devices and terminating the network as described in “Network
Layout” on page 2–8, and in “Communications Wiring for Multiple
Inverters” in the
GT Inverter Owner’s Manual .
CAUTION: Unpredictable network operation
Do not exceed the maximum total Xanbus network length shown in Table 2-2,
“Total Xanbus Network Length” on page 2–3. Proper network operation cannot
be guaranteed when these distances are exceeded.
CAUTION: Unpredictable device behavior
Do not connect one end of the network to the other to make a ring or loop.
CAUTION: Equipment damage
Although the cables and connectors that connect the Gateway to the Xanbus
network are identical to Ethernet cables and connectors, the communication
interface is not Ethernet. It is based on CAN bus and also supplies the Xanbus
network devices with DC power. The DC power in the Xanbus network is not
compatible with Ethernet. Personal computers or routers will be damaged if
connected directly to powered Gateway Inverter ports. The Gateway can be
damaged if a powered Xanbus cable is connected to the Ethernet port.
