Figure 2-10, Connecting the Parallel Stack and Remote Cables to an Inverter
2.7.1 Connecting the Remote/Network Cables
To connect the remote cables:
1. Connect a remote cable to the Remote port on every inverter installed in parallel (see Figures
2-1 & 2-10), using the supplied cables.
2. Route the inverter-connected remote cables from each inverter/charger to your router. Follow
the same route you used for the stack cables.
3. Connect each remote cable to its respective communication port on the router (P1-P6 per the
number of inverters installed in parallel). Refer to Section 2.4 and Figures 2-6 & 2-7.
4. Connect any accessories to the remaining open communication ports on the router using a
network cable.
Info: A maximum of four inverters can be connected to a router to work in parallel with
each other. If the maximum number of inverters are connected, two open ports remain.
If a ME-ARC or ME-RC remote is connected to a router, it must be connected directly to
a remote communication port on the router. If there are still open communication ports
on the router, connect any accessories—such as an ME-AGS-N or ME-BMK—directly to
the router first. Then, if all the router’s communication ports are being used and there
are additional accessories, they may be connected to the Network ports on the inverters.
Info: Any accessory connected directly to the Network port on an inverter will display
as an accessory on the router port to which that inverter is connected.
Example: A ME-AGS-N connected to the Network port on the master inverter (P1) will
display as P1A on the router.
Info: Multiple accessories of the same type may be connected to the system, but there
are limitations to the number of accessories. You may connect a maximum of one ME-
RC or ME-ARC remote, two ME-AGS-N modules, and up to six ME-BMK/ME-BMK-NS
accessories.
Once the stack cables are connected, coordinate the remote cables to the communications ports
so that the Master inverter is connected to Port 1 and the Slave 1 inverter is connected to Port
2 (the remote and stack cables are connected to the inverters in order from left to right—MA
(Master), SL1, SL2, and SL3). This confi guration makes it easy to keep track of which inverter is
displayed on each port, and allows you to identify the master and slave units without having to
trace the wires from the router to each inverter.
