# ENP-RS485
# RS-485 Module
The RS-485 Module is used to read data from devices such as inverters, ventilation systems, valves, irradiance sensors, power meters and others. The RS-485 Module sends the collected data to the Enapter Gateway and Cloud via secure wireless connection.

# Troubleshooting
# The Module Is Not Receiving Telemetry
Check the jumper inside the ENP-RS485 module (install if needed):
- Dismount the antenna from the ENP-RS485 module.
- Remove the front cover.
- Remove the back side of the module.
- Carefully push the module control board down.
- Install jumper J5 according to the picture below.
