Introduction
The Inverter Communications Adapter (ICA) allows any Sine
Wave Plus Inverter/Charger to be connected to a computer
serial port or directly to a modem to be controlled and
monitored over long distances. It uses the Inverter
Communications Adapter Program (ICAP) to communicate
with the inverters and emulates the inverter control module
on the inverter. Virtually everything that can be done with the
inverter’s control module can be emulated by ICAP. The
ICAP can also be used to monitor up to eight inverters within
the same system.
Features/Components
The ICA package includes the following items. See Figure 1-
1 on page 3.
• ICA adapter: gray plastic housing with green LED, phone
(RJ11) jack and a 25-pin RS232 connector
• Serial Port Adapter: black plastic housing with RJ11 jack
and 9-pin connector. This part is custom-made. It is not
intended for use as a standard RJ11 to DB-9 adapter.
• 25-foot, 4-conductor phone cable, with RJ11 jacks on
each end (Telephone Standard)
• CD with the Windows™ based software program,
