2 Choose either RS485-1 or RS485-2 for connection. Connect the 3-pin terminal block to the

the RS485 bus connection point.
3 If the gateway is at the end of the RS485 chain, terminate the gateway by switching a termination
dipswitch to ON. The switches in the SolarEdge gateway are marked SW1 for the RS485-1 port
termination and SW2 for the RS485-2 port termination, as shown below:
