Wiring Instructions
This guide discusses the specific wiring and
configuration need to implement inverter
control. Ensure the installation guide for both
products is also followed.
IMPORTANT
Ensure the data cable is rated for the voltages it will be in close proximity to.
A 120 Ohm terminating resistor may be required at the CATCH Relay terminals as shown in
the diagram below if the cable run is longer than 10m.
RS485 A to
the + terminal
RS485 B to
the - terminal
Note: The Solis Meter Plug is
sold separately.

Checking the status of the RS485 interface
Within the CATCH Power app if you navigate to the bottom of the Live Data screen
you will see something similar to the screen below.
The RS485 Status Can be used to confirm correct operation
1
Indicates the inverter is
transmitting data on the
RS485 cable.
If this is zero it means the
inverter is not
communicating or there is
a break in the cable.
This indicates the inverter
and the CATCH Relay are
talking the same language.
If this is zero it is likely you
have not chosen the
correct meter when
configuring the relay or the
+ve and –ve wires are
crossed over.
This number continually
counts the number of
successful messages. This
number will continue to
rise if communications the
link is good.
