Creating an Ethernet (LAN) Connection
This communication option enables using an Ethernet connection to connect the
inverter to the monitoring platform via LAN.
Ethernet cable specifications:
Cable type – a shielded Ethernet cable (CAT6 may be used).
Maximum distance between the inverter and the router – 100 m/ 330 ft.
NOTE
If using a cable longer than 10 m / 33 ft in areas where there
is a risk of induced voltage surges by lightning, it is
recommended to use external surge protection devices.
