Introduction

The Wi-Fi/ZigBee antenna-mounting clip and cable are attached to the inverter or connected to a vertical surface with a bracket (not supplied by SolarEdge).
This document describes how to:

clip the antenna onto the inverter and route the cable.
Perform this procedure when the inverter is already mounted on the wall.
connect the antenna to a vertical surface with a bracket (not supplied by SolaEdge).

Clipping the Antenna to the Inverter

After installing the inverter on the wall, unpack the antenna clip and release the cable binding (three parts are connected).
Turn OFF the:
- inverter ON/OFF switch
- inverter Safety Switch (if applicable)
- AC breaker connected to the inverter
Verify that AC to the inverter is OFF, or disconnect the AC to the inverter by turning OFF the circuit breakers on the distribution panel. Wait 5 minutes for the capacitors to discharge.
Insert the clip from the bottom of the inverter between the bracket and the inverter’s rear side.
Route the antenna cable upwards along the fins of the inverter side, by threading the clip and RF cable from the bottom of the inverter between the bracket and the inverter’s rear side.
Attach the clip vertically to the top of the inverter. You may attach the clip to the heat sink fins or the inverter side.
Turn ON the:
- inverter ON/OFF switch
- inverter Safety Switch (if applicable)
- AC breaker connected to the inverter

Connecting the Antenna to a Vertical Surface using a Bracket

For connecting the antenna to a vertical surface (i.e. a wall), SolarEdge recommends using a bracket with the following dimensions (not supplied by SolarEdge):
Drill two holes in the surface and install the bracket using two screws.
Clip the antenna onto the bracket as shown in Figure 4. The antenna must be vertical.
