Connecting the ICA Cable
The ICA converts the REMOTE port on the Sine Wave Plus
Inverter/Charger into a standard RS232 type communications
port interface.
See Figure 1-2 for the location of the Remote Port on the Sine
Wave Plus Inverter/Charger.
To install the ICA:
1. Connect the ICA adapter to the Sine Wave Plus Inverter/
Charger remote port located on the left end of the
inverter, near the AC wiring compartment (Figure 1-2).
2. Connect the phone cable to the RJ11 jack on the gray
ICA adapter and to the black serial port adapter.
3. Plug the serial port adapter into the computer’s serial port
(Figure 1-2).
4. Check that the LED has illuminated to indicate that it can
communicate with the inverter.
Important:
There are two ports located on the inverter – one is
used for the stacking cable and the other is for the remote control
port. Make sure you connect the ICA to the correct port. If a
Remote Inverter Control Module (ICM-Remote) is being used, it
will have to be disconnected while the ICA is in use.
Important:
On some computers, a DB9-to-25-pin adapter may
be needed to allow connection.
