Overview of WIFIKIT Function
Zeus AppolloTM-WIFIKIT has been developed by Zeus Appollo Solar as an external
communication monitoring device, which integrates a Wi-Fi device for users and provides a
wireless monitoring function.
By connecting with inverters through an RS485 interface, the Kit can receive information
from inverters and realize cascade connection of inverters. It can not only provide a wireless
function, but also can be used via a cable to transfer inverter data to the web server
Users can monitor the runtime status of the device by checking the 4 LEDs on the panel, that
indicate Power, RS485, Link and Status respectively.

1 Communication cable connection
1.1 Three Phase Inverter
For Zeus AppolloTM 3-phase inverters Z10I-13KDT/17KDT/20KDT, which have an integrated
RS485 interface, the cable connection for the inverter is as follows.
1.1.1 Cable connector preparation
In order to satisfy an IP65 level, the communication cable needs to be specifically prepared.
A. Find the LTW waterproof cable connector in the package of inverter. There are
two sets inside of each package. Then prepare the appropriate length of the
RS485 communication cable which has no plug.
