Contact with electrically conductive parts after disconnection from the mains supply can be dan-
gerous. Do not connect the equipment to the mains supply before installation.
Equipment must be installed only in protected/dry environments.
Do not use metallic/pointed/sharp instruments to access the enclosure.
Prevent cables and terminals from being exposed.
The power plug must be accessible at all times.
Qualified personnel only must perform service.
Equipment must only be operated at the rated supply voltages. A suitable power
supply unit is included in the scope of delivery.

1.2. Introduction
This document describes how to configure the CLX Home product for use with a Danfoss solar
inverter to enable monitoring of up to 3 DLX, ULX, TLX, TLX+, TLX Pro, TLX Pro+, FLX or FLX
Pro *) inverters from a Smartphone, tablet or PC-based browser.
*) TLX Pro, TLX Pro+ and FLX Pro variants only when the inverters are connected via RS-485 and not us-
ing the master/follower concept.
To install and configure the CLX Home box:
• Connect the CLX Home box to the inverter and the internet (safely behind a firewall,
without configuring the latter).
• Install the Danfoss SolarApp.
• Enter email address and follow the setup procedure described in the Danfoss SolarApp.
For details refer to Chapter 2. When these steps are completed, it is possible to start monitoring
the plant from anywhere in the world.
Note:
All values shown are based on inverter data and are not legally binding.

2. Installation
2.1. Installing CLX Home
Perform the following steps to install the CLX Home box:
1. Connect the power supply to the box and the mains supply.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the CLX Home box and to an inverter/network router.
3. Plug the RJ-45 terminator into one of the two RJ-45 RS-485 sockets of the CLX Home
box.
4. Using an RJ-45 network cable (not included in the scope of delivery) (minimum cat 5e
STP network cable is required) connect the inverter to the free RJ-45 socket of the CLX
Home box.
5. If more than one inverter must be connected, connect the inverters in an RS-485 daisy
chain (depending on inverter type, refer to the corresponding inverter manual).
6. Terminate the inverter bus at the far end with the second RJ-45 terminator (included
in the scope of delivery), see the corresponding inverter manual for details. Different
inverter types are terminated differently.
