RS485 port
When it comes to these inverters, you will need an Self-crimp RS485 cable using the RJ45 pin configuration below:
| Pin 1 | - |
| Pin 2 | GND |
| Pin 3 | - |
| Pin 4 | - |
| Pin 5 | - |
| Pin 6 | - |
| Pin 7 | RS485A |
| Pin 8 | RS485B |
If you buy any random USB RS485 RJ45 cable on Amazon, Ebay, Takealot, etc. which doesn't specifically state that it supports the inverter, it will most likely not work. You can read more about the communication chips we recommend using here.
