7. Stick the plug into the SPS slot on the
communication assembly in the inverter.
8. Ensure that the plug is securely in place.
9. Ensure that all conductors are correctly connected.
10. Ensure that the conductors sit securely in the terminals.
Useful hint: To release the conductors from the plugs, open the conduit entries using a suitable
tool.

Connecting the Network Cables
Danger to life due to electric shock
Overvoltages (e. g. in the case of a flash of lightning) can be further conducted into the building
and to other connected devices in the same network via the network cable if there is no
overvoltage protection.
• Ensure that all devices in the same network are integrated in the existing overvoltage
protection.
• When laying the network cable outdoors, attention must be given to suitable overvoltage
protection at the network cable transition from the inverter outdoors to the network inside the
building.
• The Ethernet interface of the inverter is classified as "TNV-1" and offers protection against
overvoltages up to 1.5 kV.
Additionally required material (not included in the scope of delivery):
• Conduits: 27 mm (1 in) or smaller with a proper reducing bush
• Rain-tight conduit fitting for wet locations complying with UL 514B: 27 mm (1 in) or smaller
with a proper reducing bush
• Network cable
• Where required: Field-assembly RJ45 connector.
Cable requirements:
The cable length and quality affect the quality of the signal. Observe the following cable
requirements.
☐ Cable type: 100BaseTx
☐ Cable category: Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a or Cat7
☐ Plug type: RJ45 of Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6 or Cat6a
