2.1 Compatibility
Make sure your ROTEX system is compatible for use with the LAN
adapter (app control and/or Smart Grid applications). For more
information, see the installer reference guide of the ROTEX system.

4.1 Installation site requirements
INFORMATION
Also read the maximum cable length requirements set out
in "4.2Overview of electrical connections"on page4.
▪ Mind the following spacing installation guidelines:
(a) Provide enough space to connect the Ethernet cable
without exceeding its minimum bend radius (typically
90mm)
(b) Provide enough space to open the casing with a flat-blade
screwdriver (typically 160mm)
▪ The LAN adapter is designed to be wall-mounted in dry, indoor
locations only. Make sure the installation surface is a flat and
vertical non-combustible wall.
▪ The LAN adapter is designed to be mounted in the following
orientation only: with the PCB on the right-hand side in the casing,
and the Ethernet connector facing the floor.
▪ The LAN adapter is designed to operate in ambient temperatures
ranging from 5~35°C.

(a) The Ethernet cable delivered as an accessory is 1m long.
It is, however, possible to use a field-supplied Ethernet
cable. In this case, respect the maximum allowed distance
between LAN adapter and router, which is 50m in case of
Cat5e cables, and 100m in case of Cat6 cables.
(b) These wires MUST be sheathed. Recommended strip
length: 6mm.
(c) These wires MUST be sheathed. Recommended strip

(d) All wiring to X1A MUST be H05VV. Required strip length:
7mm. For more information, see "4.2.4Solar inverter/

4.2.1 Router
Make sure the LAN adapter can be connected via a LAN connection.
The minimum category for the Ethernet cable is Cat5e.
4.2.2 Indoor unit
For power and communication with the indoor unit, the LAN adapter
is connected to the indoor unit's P1/P2 terminals via a 2‑wire cable.
There is NO separate power supply: the adapter gets its power from
the indoor unit's P1/P2 terminals.
