The SmartPSB2000L smart PV safety box (safety box for short) is a key component that implements rapid
shutdown and module monitoring for Huawei SUN2000P-375W smart PV optimizers. The safety box is easy to
install, operate, and maintain.
Shutdown button
NOTICE
Rapid shutdown means that the power generation system consisting
of optimizers, smart PV safety boxes, and inverters decreases the DC
voltage to the safe voltage range (≤ 30 V) within the specified period
(≤ 30s).
No.

Prerequisites
An optimizer is installed for each PV module, and
the rapid shutdown function of the safety box is
enabled.
Trigger by
button press
If the shutdown button (
) is pressed, the safety
box enters the rapid shutdown state. The LED
indicator is steady red, and the inverter turns off the
AC output. This product cannot be used as a
substitute for the emergency stop switch.
If the shutdown button (
) is released, the safety
box exits the rapid shutdown state. The LED
indicator is steady red within 10 minutes. The output
voltages of the optimizer and inverter are restored
10 minutes later. The LED indicator of the safety box
changes from steady red to steady green.
Trigger by
power failure
If the AC power fails, the safety enters the rapid
shutdown state. The inverter and optimizer stop
output and communication. The LED indicators of
the safety box and inverter are off.
If the AC power resumes, the inverter, optimizer,
and safety box restore to the normal state.

Installation and Cable Connections
Wiring Diagram
1. Each input of the safety box supports serial connection of
up to 15 optimizers, and the string voltage should be less
than 600 V DC.
2. After the cord end terminal is removed, the PE cable of the
safety box and the communication PE cable of the power
meter can be connected together to the communication
terminal (pin 8) of the inverter.
NOTE
1. Install the safety box under or on a side of an
inverter with the delivered M6x60 expansion
bolts. It is recommended that an M8 drill bit
be used to drill holes. The torque should be
4.5–5.5 N·m.
2. Connect the RS485 communications, PE,
and 12 V power cables from the safety box to
the corresponding port on the inverter.
3. Connect the output terminals of the safety
box to the DC input ports of the inverter (one
route is used as an example in the right
figure).
4. Connect the input terminals of the safety box
to the output ports of the optimizer string
(one route is used as an example in the right
figure).

Depending on the inverter model, the RS485 communications, PE, and 12 V power cables need to be
connected to the COM or ALARM port of the inverter. The pins are wired in the same way.
COM or ALARM Terminal Connection
1. Switch on the AC circuit breaker between the inverter and the power grid (the AC voltage of the power grid
should be in the range allowed by the inverter).
2. Turn the DC switch at the bottom of the inverter to the ON position.
3. Observe the LED indicator on the safety box. The status change sequence should be: blinking green at long
intervals > blinking green at short intervals. If the LED indicator is abnormal, check whether cables are
connected correctly and securely.

successfully, the safety box icon
is displayed.
Adding Optimizers
4.2
Automatic search: Automatically search for optimizer SNs and string numbers. You need to manually modify
device names and locations.
Manual configuration: Manually configure the SNs, string numbers, device names, and locations of optimizers.
Add optimizers by automatic search or manual configuration.
2. The optimizer search takes about 10
minutes. If you tap Stop searching,
the information of the optimizers
already found will be saved.
3. After the search is canceled or
completed, the screen for
enabling Rapid shutdown is
displayed (see section 4.3).

add all optimizers in sequence
by scanning their QR codes or
manually entering their SNs.
1. After optimizer search is
complete, the screen for enabling
Rapid shutdown is displayed
automatically.
1. You need to enable Rapid shutdown and start Rapid shutdown
check only if an optimizer is installed for each PV module. To support
the rapid shutdown function, enable Rapid shutdown (disabled by
default) for the safety box. If Rapid shutdown is disabled, the rapid
shutdown function is ineffective.
2. If optimizers are installed only for certain PV modules, the rapid
shutdown function is ineffective no matter whether you enable Rapid
shutdown or press the shutdown button.
3. Rapid shutdown check is displayed only if Rapid shutdown is
enabled.
NOTE
6. If you stop the searching, the
entered optimizer information is
saved. You can tap Manual
config to add a new optimizer
or tap the optimizer to modify
optimizer information.
5. Tap Submit. Automatic search
for optimizers begins and will last
about 5 minutes. After the search
is completed, the screen for
enabling Rapid shutdown is
displayed (see section 4.3).
4. If you did not enable Rapid
shutdown or perform rapid
shutdown check, you can still tap
the shutdown box icon to access
the screen for enabling Rapid
shutdown or performing rapid
shutdown check.
3. After Rapid shutdown is enabled,
a dialog box for performing rapid
shutdown check is automatically
displayed. Even if you tap No, the
rapid shutdown function is still
valid.
2. If you enable Rapid shutdown,
check whether an optimizer is
installed for each PV module.
If you tap No, the screen for
adding devices is displayed.

(Optional) Upgrading the Software4.4
1. Obtain the upgrade file from your dealer or Huawei engineers.
2. On the Android system, you can copy the upgrade file to the mobile phone. The upgrade file name extension
must be .zip, the file can be flexibly stored, and Manually select is supported.
3. On the iOS system, you can import the upgrade file to the app through a mailbox. The upgrade file name
extension must be .zip, and Manually select is not supported.
4. Upgrading the safety box or optimizer lasts for 10–20 minutes.
NOTE
2. Select the appropriate upgrade
package and finish the upgrade.
1. Choose Upgrade device on the
Operation console screen to
upgrade the optimizer or smart PV
safety box.
5. Press the Rapid shutdown
button within 60s as prompted.
If you tap Exit, the screen for
adding devices is displayed.
6. After rapid shutdown succeeds,
release the button as prompted.
The inverter will start in 10 minutes.
1. If the LED indicator of the safety box is blinking green slowly (at 0.5 Hz), check whether its communications
cable is connected correctly or check its communications parameter settings. The same RS485 baud rate should
be set for the safety box, inverter, power meter, and battery that implement RS485 communication.
2. If setting safety box communications parameters fails, set the inverter baud rate to 9600 bps, and then perform
three cycles of press + release operations on the shutdown button within 1 minute. Then, the RS485
communications parameters of the safety box are restored to default values, and the LED indicator blinks red
and green (red for 0.25s, green for 0.25s, lasts for 20s).
3. If the message "The PLC frequency band is congested. Switch the frequency band." is displayed on the app,
change the PLC frequency band. The change process takes about 3 minutes. Do not power off the safety box.

• The LED indicator status does not match the actual
status.
• The key button is damaged and fails.
• The key button is not damaged, but the shutdown
function fails.
• Obtain the user's consent before replacing the safety
box, as the inverter may have no output during the
replacement.
• The safety box can be replaced only 30 seconds after
you turn off the DC input switch on the inverter and
the switch on the AC output loop.
1. Turn off the DC input switch on the inverter and the
switch on the AC output loop.
2. Remove the old safety box.
