Page 10
Qualified service
engineers
The servicing information contained in these operating instructions is intended
only for the use of qualified service engineers. An electric shock can be fatal.
Do not perform any actions other than those described in the documentation.
This applies even if you are qualified to do so.
All cables and leads must be secure, undamaged, insulated and adequately

Noise emission
values
EMC measures
Disposal
The maximum sound power level of the inverter is specified in the Technical
Data.
The device is cooled as quietly as possible with the aid of an electronic temperature control system; this depends on the amount of converted power, the
ambient temperature, the level of soiling of the device, etc.
It is not possible to provide a workplace-related emission value for this device
because the actual sound pressure level is heavily influenced by the installation situation, the power quality, the surrounding walls and the properties of
the room in general.
In certain cases, even though a device complies with the standard limit values
for emissions, it may affect the application area for which it was designed (e.g.
when there is sensitive equipment at the same location, or if the site where the
device is installed is close to either radio or television receivers). If this is the
case, then the operator is obliged to take appropriate action to rectify the situation.
To comply with the European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment and its implementation as national law, electrical equipment that has reached the end of its life and dead batteries must be sorted
from general waste and returned to an approved recycling facility. Any device
that you no longer require must either be returned to your dealer or given to
one of the approved collection and recycling facilities in your area. Ignoring
this European Directive may be harmful to the environment and your own
health!
If you need to replace your battery at some point, Fronius will take back the
old device and arrange for it to be recycled in an appropriate manner.

Fronius Symo Hybrid
EN
Device concept
Device design:
(1) (2) (3)
(4)(5)(6)
The hybrid inverter converts the direct current generated by the solar modules into alternating current. This alternating current is fed into the public grid synchronously with the grid
voltage. In addition, the solar energy can be stored in a connected Fronius Solar Battery
for use later on.
This version of the hybrid inverter is only intended for use in grid connected photovoltaic
systems. A device update is required from the manufacturer in order to generate power
separately from the public grid. As well as providing functional enhancements for the hardware and software, this update also includes relevant user documentation.
The hybrid inverter is delivered ready for supplying emergency power.
(1) Housing lid
(2) Inverter
(3) Wall bracket
(4) Connection area including DC main
switch
(5) Data communication area
(6) Data communication cover
Thanks to its design and the way it works, the inverter is extremely safe both to install and
to operate.
The inverter monitors the public grid automatically. In the event of abnormal grid conditions, the inverter ceases operating immediately and stops feeding power into the grid (e.g.
if the grid is switched off, if there is an interruption, etc.).
Grid monitoring involves voltage, frequency and islanding detection monitoring.
Operation of the inverter is fully automatic.
The inverter is designed to get as much power out of the solar modules as possible.
Depending on the operating point, this power is either stored in the battery or it is fed into
the grid.
As soon as the solar modules stop providing sufficient energy, the power from the Fronius
Solar Battery is fed into the home network. Depending on the selected setting, power can
also be drawn from the public grid for the purpose of charging the battery.
If no power is available from the solar modules and no power is being drawn from the batteries, the inverter disconnects the power electronics from the grid completely and ceases
operating. It retains all its settings and stored data.
If the inverter becomes too hot, it automatically reduces the current output power or current
charging power in order to protect itself.
Reasons for the inverter becoming too hot include the ambient temperature being too high
or inadequate heat dissipation (e.g. if it is installed in a switch cabinet without suitable heat
dissipation).
IMPORTANT! The Fronius Solar Battery is only to be switched on when the inverter is in
Standby mode.

Energy Manager
(under Relay
menu item)
The “Energy Manager” function can be used to activate the floating switch contact in such
a way that it functions as an actuator.
Thus, a consumer that is connected to the floating switch contact can be controlled by
specifying a switch-on or switch-off point that depends on the feed-in power.
The floating switch contact is automatically switched off:
- If the inverter is not feeding any power into the grid
- If the inverter is manually switched to Standby mode
- If the effective power is set to < 10% of the nominal output
To activate the “Energy Manager” function, select “E-Manager” and press the “Enter” key.
When the “Energy Manager” function is running, the “Energy Manager” symbol will appear in the top left corner of the display:
When the floating NO contact is off (open contact)
When the floating NO contact is on (closed contact)
To deactivate the “Energy Manager” function, select a different function and press the “Enter” key.
Notes on setting up the switch-on and switch-off points
The interface of the energy management relay always uses the output power of the inverter
as a reference point, although this will not necessarily match what is generated by the PV
system in the case of the hybrid system.
If the difference between the switch-on and switch-off points is too small, or if there are fluctuations in effective power, the result may be multiple switching cycles
To avoid frequent switching on and off, the difference between the switch-on and switchoff points should be at least 100 - 200 W.
When choosing the switch-off point, the power consumption of the connected consumer
should be taken into account.
39
Page 42
When choosing the switch-on point, the weather conditions and anticipated insolation
should also be taken into account.
Application example
Switch-on point = 2000 W, switch-off point = 1800 W
If the inverter is outputting 2000 W or above, then the floating switch contact on the inverter
is switched on.
If the inverter output falls to below 1800 W, the floating switch contact is switched off.

General
General remarks The Fronius system monitoring feature is a networked datalogger that manages to com-
bine the functions of the Fronius Com Card, the Fronius Datalogger Web, the Fronius Power Control Card and the Fronius Modbus Card on a single plug-in card.
The Fronius system monitoring web page offers a rapid overview of the photovoltaic system.
It can be accessed via a web browser when there is a direct connection or – if configured
to support an indirect connection – over the Internet.
Fronius system monitoring is easy to configure and provides automatic alerts. Alerts can
be sent via SMS or e-mail.
If the feature is used in conjunction with Fronius Solar.web, current data and archive data
can be accessed for a particular photovoltaic system via the Internet or the Fronius Solar.web App without the need for any laborious configuration work. Fronius system monitoring automatically sends the data to Fronius Solar.web.
EN
Prerequisites for
operation
So that data can be exchanged smoothly over the Internet, you must have a suitable Internet connection:
- For wired Internet solutions, Fronius recommends a download speed of at least 512
kbit/s and a minimum upload speed of
256 kbit/s.
- For solutions that rely on mobile Internet services, Fronius recommends 3G transmission as a minimum, plus a reliable signal.
Even if these specifications are adhered to, there is still no guarantee that everything will
run smoothly.
High error rates during transmission, variable reception conditions or transmission dropouts can all have a detrimental effect on the online functionality of Fronius system monitoring.
Fronius recommends testing any connections that meet the minimum requirements locally.
55

General information for the network administrator
Prerequisites
NOTE! Knowledge of networking systems is required in order to configure Froni-
us system monitoring for the network.
If you are integrating Fronius system monitoring into an existing network, you must adapt
the address settings in line with the network.
For example: Network address space = 192.168.1.x, subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
- An IP address of between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.254 must be assigned to Fronius system monitoring.
- The selected IP address must not be in use on the network already.
- The subnet mask must match that of the existing network (e.g. 255.255.255.0).
If you want Fronius system monitoring to send service messages or to transmit data to Fronius Solar.web, you must enter a gateway address and a DNS server address. Fronius
system monitoring uses the gateway address for the purpose of establishing an Internet
connection. An example of a suitable gateway address would be the IP address of the DSL
router.
IMPORTANT!
- Fronius system monitoring must never be assigned the same IP address as the PC/
laptop itself!
- Fronius system monitoring is not capable of connecting to the Internet on its own. In
the case of a DSL connection, a router has to establish the Internet connection.
General firewall
settings
So that the various functions offered by Fronius system monitoring can be performed, you
must make the following firewall settings:
49049/UDP
output
Sending of service messages x - Connection to Fronius system
monitoring established via Fronius Solar.web
Connection to Fronius system
monitoring established via Fronius Solar.access
Ability to access the Fronius system monitoring web page
Service messages are sent via Fronius Solar.web.
Configure the firewall so that data can be sent from the Fronius system monitoring IP address to port 49049/UDP of “fdmp.solarweb.com”.
DSL routers usually allow data to be sent to the Internet anyway and so do not normally
have to be configured for this purpose.
x--

To enable access to the web interface of Fronius system monitoring from outside the LAN:
- Configure the network router so that requests on port 80/TCP are forwarded to Fronius
system monitoring.

(1) PV power:
If there is no solar module connected to the Fronius Symo Hybrid, the PV power
option must be deactivated. The connected PV power must be entered in the field
underneath.
(2) Battery:
If a Fronius Solar Battery is connected to the Fronius Symo Hybrid, it must be activated here.
This setting can only be made when there is an active connection to the Fronius
Solar Battery. If you are unable to make this setting, check whether the Fronius Solar Battery is switched on and whether the data connection has actually been established.
If there is a connection, the current state of charge of the Fronius Solar Battery will
be indicated underneath the battery symbol.
(3) battery charging from UC grid:
If you want the Fronius Solar Battery to be charged from the public grid, you can
activate this here. Depending on what is required by standards or the feed-in tariff
rules, it may be necessary to disable the setting.
This setting does not affect the charging of the Fronius Solar Battery by other producers within the home. It merely relates to the process of drawing charging energy
from the public grid.
Important! Regardless of this setting, any charging from the public grid that is required for service reasons (e.g. to protect against deep discharge) is still performed.
60
Page 63
(4) battery charge from producers in the home network:
If further decentralised producers are installed in the household and have been integrated into the self-consumption rule for the Fronius Symo Hybrid, you must activate this setting. This means that energy can be drawn from the home network
and fed into the Fronius Solar Battery via the Fronius Symo Hybrid for the purpose
of charging it.
You can restrict how much power is consumed by the Fronius Symo Hybrid by
specifying a maximum AC power value (AC max.). The maximum power consumption is limited to the AC nominal output of the Fronius Symo Hybrid.
(5) Meter:
To ensure smooth operation in conjunction with other energy producers, it is important to install the Fronius Smart Meter at the feed-in point. The Fronius Symo Hybrid and other producers must be connected to the public grid via the Fronius
Smart Meter.
This setting also affects how the Fronius Symo Hybrid behaves overnight. If the
function is deactivated, the inverter switches to Standby mode as soon as there is
no more PV power available, provided that no energy management command is
sent to the battery (e.g. minimum state of charge reached). The message “Power
low” is displayed. The inverter restarts as soon as an energy management command is sent or there is sufficient PV power available.
If the function is activated, the inverter remains permanently connected to the grid
so that energy can be drawn from other producers at any time.
EN
Once you have worked your way through the Solar Web wizard, an automatic process is
triggered to calibrate all the components. This involves charging the Fronius Solar Battery
fully. After that, the system automatically starts in the set operating mode.
This calibration charging process is also performed automatically during actual operation
after a number of charging and discharging cycles.
If the “battery charging from UC grid” setting is deactivated, this calibration charging process relies exclusively on energy from the photovoltaic system. Depending on the insolation conditions and size of the systems concerned, the charging process can take a very
long time.
If the “battery charging from UC grid” setting is activated, the calibration charging process
is performed by drawing a constant current from the photovoltaic system and utility company grid.
Important! The automatic process for fully charging the battery may result in energy being
drawn from the utility company grid. The process can take several hours and cannot be
aborted.

the subnet mask, the gateway address and the DNS server address (from the pro-
vider) manually.
Page 81
(4) Obtain IP address dynamically
Fronius system monitoring fetches the IP address from a DHCP server (DHCP =
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
The DHCP server must be configured so that the same IP address is always as-
signed to Fronius system monitoring. This means that you always know which IP
address can be used to reach the Fronius system monitoring datalogger.
If the DHCP server supports the DNS dynamic updates function, a name can be
assigned to Fronius system monitoring in the “Host name” field. As a result, the
connection to Fronius system monitoring can be established using the name in-
stead of the IP address.
For example: Host name = sample_system, domain name = fronius.com
Fronius system monitoring can be reached via the address “sample_system.froni-
us.com”.

Settings – Energy Manager
General remarks The Fronius Symo Hybrid always controls the system by adjusting it in line with the target
value set at the metering point. In “Automatic” operating mode (factory setting), the system
is adjusted so that 0 W is achieved at the feed-in point (maximum self-consumption).
The target value still applies even if another source feeds energy in at this metering point.
However, in this case:
- The Fronius Smart Meter must be installed at the feed-in point
- The option that allows the battery to be charged by another producer must be activat-
ed (see External Link: “Text” section on page External Link: “Page”).

Settings – Battery management
Battery management

(3)
(1) reserve battery capacity:
This function is required to prevent available energy
from going to waste if the photovoltaic system is overdimensioned or in the case of dynamic power reduction. Up until a certain time of day, energy is only fed
into the Fronius Solar Battery if dynamic power reduction is active or if the amount of PV power available on the Fronius Symo Hybrid exceeds what can be
delivered on the AC side (overdimensioning).
Consequently, storage space is “reserved” in the Fronius Solar Battery to accommodate this operating
scenario. Standard energy management (self-consumption optimisation) only resumes once the set
time is reached.
(2) battery charge from producers in the home network:
If further decentralised producers are installed in the household and have been integrated
into the self-consumption rule for the Fronius Symo Hybrid, you must activate this setting.
This means that energy can be drawn from the home network and fed into the Fronius Solar Battery for charging purposes via the Fronius Symo Hybrid.
You can restrict how much power is consumed by the Fronius Symo Hybrid by specifying
the maximum AC power. The maximum power consumption is limited to the AC nominal
output of the Fronius Symo Hybrid.
To ensure smooth operation in conjunction with other energy producers, it is important to
install the Fronius Smart Meter at the feed-in point. The Fronius Symo Hybrid and other
energy producers must be connected to the public grid via the Fronius Smart Meter.
(3) Calibration charge:
At regular intervals, the Fronius Symo Hybrid automatically charges the Fronius Solar Battery until it is full for the purpose of calibrating all the components. This process can be
started manually here.
94
Important! When calibration charging is activated, normal operation is interrupted and the
system may draw energy from the utility company grid. The process can take several hours
and cannot be aborted.
Page 97
Once calibration is complete, the system automatically reverts to the operating mode that
was set originally.
This calibration charging process is also performed automatically during actual operation
after a number of charging and discharging cycles.
If the “battery charging from UC grid” setting is deactivated, this calibration charging process relies exclusively on energy from the photovoltaic system. Depending on the insolation conditions and size of the systems concerned, the charging process can take a very
long time.
If the “battery charging from UC grid” setting is activated, the calibration charging process
is performed by drawing a constant current from the photovoltaic system and utility company grid.

(2) Battery:
If a Fronius Solar Battery is connected to the Fronius Symo Hybrid, it must be activated here.
This setting can only be made when there is an active connection to the Fronius
Solar Battery. If you are unable to make this setting, check whether the Fronius Solar Battery is switched on and whether the data connection has actually been established.
If there is a connection, the current state of charge of the Fronius Solar Battery will
be indicated underneath the battery symbol.
(3) Permit battery charging from UC grid:
If you want the Fronius Solar Battery to be charged from the public grid, you can
activate this here. Depending on what is required by standards or the feed-in tariff
rules, it may be necessary to deactivate the setting.
This setting does not affect the charging of the Fronius Solar Battery by other producers within the home. It merely relates to the process of drawing charging energy
from the public grid.
Regardless of this setting, any charging from the public grid that is required for service reasons (e.g. to protect against deep discharge) is still performed.
96
Page 99
(4) battery charge from producers in the home network:
If further decentralised producers are installed in the household and have been integrated into the self-consumption rule for the Fronius Symo Hybrid, you must activate this setting. This means that energy can be drawn from the home network
and fed into the Fronius Solar Battery via the Fronius Symo Hybrid for the purpose
of charging it.
You can restrict how much power is consumed by the Fronius Symo Hybrid by
specifying a maximum AC power value (AC max.). The maximum power consumption is limited to the AC nominal output of the Fronius Symo Hybrid.
(5) Meter:
To ensure smooth operation in conjunction with other energy producers, it is important to install the Fronius Smart Meter at the feed-in point. The Fronius Symo Hybrid and other producers must be connected to the public grid via the Fronius
Smart Meter.
This setting also affects how the Fronius Symo Hybrid behaves overnight. If the
function is deactivated, the inverter switches to Standby mode as soon as there is
no more PV power available, provided that no energy management command is
sent to the battery (e.g. minimum state of charge reached). The message “Power
low” is displayed. The inverter restarts as soon as an energy management command is sent or there is sufficient PV power available.
If the function is activated, the inverter remains permanently connected to the grid
so that energy can be drawn from other producers at any time.
