Cable Entry; Ethernet Connections - SMA MLX Serie Guia De Instalacion

Installation
On the AC cable, strip insulation on all 4 wires. The
protective earth wire (PE) must be longer than the mains
wires. See Illustration 2.17.
1. Verify that the inverter rating matches the grid.
2. Ensure that main circuit breaker is released, and
take precautions to prevent connection.
3. Open the front cover.
4. Insert the cable through the AC gland to the
terminal blocks.
5. Connect the 3 mains wires (L1, L2, L3) and the PE
wire to the terminal block with the respective
markings. The PE wire is marked with the symbol
shown in Illustration 2.18.
6. Optional: Make an extra PE connection at the
secondary PE earthing points using the external
equipment grounding bolt delivered with the
inverter. See Illustration 5.2.
7. All wires must be properly fastened with the
correct torque. See 5.5 Torque Specifications.

Do not remove the RJ-45 connector on the
Ethernet cable.
Run the cables through the base of the inverter
via cable glands. See Illustration 2.21.
Cut slice in rubber grummet. Place the grummet
in the gland to ensure proper seal.
Plug into the Ethernet connector.
