2.4.5.2. Jumper Position for Termination Resistance
With multiple inverters connected the jumper located behind the CAN / RS-485 terminal
activates the termination resistance when the pins are terminated (short-circuited). This
minimizes signal reflections in the cables and helps to avoids interference.
• Single inverter: The two pins must be terminated (Default).
• Several inverters connected: The master-follower configuration requires terminated
pins on the first inverter and on the last inverter in the linked series. The pins must be
disconnected on the inverters between the first and last inverters in the linked series.
• To disconnect the pins, the jumper must be pulled up and placed only on one of the
pins.
• Be careful not to bend the pins when removing or installing the jumper!

3. Start Up
A minimum available voltage of 184 VAC, 230 VDC and a power greater than 7 WDC is
required before the inverter starts feeding power to the grid.
AC side
• Turn ON the AC circuit breaker(s).
DC side
• Turn ON the DC switch(es).
3.1. Initial Start
When the inverter is started for the first time, an installation menu is automatically
displayed to enable the configuration of certain critical values and operational settings.
3.1.1. Customizing the Inverter Settings
Single Inverter
• When both the DC and the AC switches are turned ON and the inverter is supplied with
enough power, an installation menu is displayed in the LCD screen.
Multiple Connected Inverters
1. CAN
• Connecting all inverters via the CAN bus enables the configuration of all inverters in a
plant via one inverter. The Start Up can then be carried out on any inverter, and if
configured as the master inverter the configuration settings of time, date, language and
grid settings will be transferred to all the other follower inverters on the network.
• Each follower inverter is automatically assigned an ID number from the master during
Start Up.
2. RS-485
• Connecting the inverters via the RS-485 bus enables communication with third party
equipment.
• Each inverter must manually be assigned an ID, a bit rate number and a parity number:
- The ID number must be between 1 and 247.
- Both the master inverter and the follower inverters need a bitrate number and a
parity number. Compare with the setup in the third party equipment (eg. an
external data logger) and write this number in the inverter’s network menu. Refer
to section 6.2.4.2 Network Setup of the User Guide for more details.
Defaults are: bitrate – 19200 and parity – none.
