2 Safety
Working Environment
– Pay attention to all safety regulations relating to the handling of electrical equipment, which
apply in your area of work.
– Ensure that children and other people are kept well clear of potential sources of danger
during mounting and maintenance of the device.
Electrical Safety
– The plugs must not be altered in any way; only install cable connections as is described in
this manual. Unaltered plugs and appropriate plug sockets reduce the risk of an electric
shock.
– Keep the device out of the rain and clear of sources of water during installation and
operation. If water gets into the radio module, the risk of electric shock is increased and the
device may be damaged.
Personal Safety
– Take the necessary precautions to keep unauthorized persons clear of the device and
prevent it from being accidentally started up during mounting.
Radiation
– Possible health risks associated with the effect of radiation. Do not remain within a distance
of less than 20 cm from the antenna for long periods of time.
Service
– Only allow your Wireless Set to be repaired by qualified specialists and only using original
spare parts.

3 The Wireless-Set485-01
3.1 Applications
With the Wireless-Set485-01, you can extend the RS485 communication bus of your PV plant using
radio transmission. The transmission path should be seen as a cable substitute and establishes a pointto-point connection. SMA distinguishes between the communication device side and the inverter side.
On the communication device side, there is the communication device (Sunny WebBox, Sunny Boy
Control) and possibly other communication bus devices. On the inverter side, all the other
communication bus devices can be connected. Communication bus devices include the inverter or the
Sunny SensorBox.

3.4 Identification
3.4.1 Identification of the Radio Module
Identifying the Radio Module
You can identify the radio module with the help of the
type plate
(see figure below). The type plate can be found on the
back of the housing and includes the version (here "IRISRS485-EXT-01) and the ID (here "0093323284").
Identifying the Plug Adapter
You can identify the plug adapter with the aid of the
labels (see figure on the right). The labels can be found
on the front and back of the plug adapt er and incl ude the
plug type (here "485IRISADAP-01") and the device
version (here "A1").
Distinguishing between Radio Module Pairs
A Wireless Set consists of two radio modules. You can
identify the radio module pair and the radio channel with
the aid of the label on the front of the radio module. For
both the radio modules in a set, the "pair" and the
"channel" on the type plate must correspond.

3. Check the power supply to the RS485 Power Injector (see 7 "Commissioning" (page27)).
4. Check whether the RS485 Power Injector is installed on the co rrect side (communication device
or inverter side) - see chapter 3.4 "Identification" (page10).
5. Check the length of the cable connecting the RS485 Power Injector to the radio module. The
cable length must not exceed 30 m. This also applies to all the cabling of the Wireless-Set48501 and 485-02 on the communication device side.
Electrical Connection
6. Check the plug connections and cable connections of all devices, see chapter 5 "Electrical
Connection" (page16).
7. Check the termination of the communication bus, see chapter 5 "Electrical Connection"
(page16).
Antenna
8. Check that the opposing antenna is visible and remove any objects which may be causing
disturbance (e.g. vehicles). Change the position of the antenna if necessary.
If the measures described here are insufficient to solve the problem, contact our Service Line
(see chapter 12 "Contact" (page32)).

Maintenance and CleaningSMA Solar Technology AG
10 Maintenance and Cleaning
10.1 Maintenance
Carry out regular visual checks of the antenna, the radio module, the RS485 Power Injector and the
connected cables, to detect any external damage or dirt. If the functioning or safety is impaired, the
damaged device or cable should be replaced by a qualified specialist.
10.2 Cleaning
NOTICE!
Damage to the Wireless-Set485-01 or Wireless-Set485-02 devices caused during
cleaning.
The Wireless-Set485-01 and Wireless-Set485-02 devices are not waterproof. No water
must be allowed to get into the devices.
• Unplug the RS485 Power Injector power plug.
• Clean the Wireless-Set485-01 or Wireless-Set485-02 with a slightly damp cloth
only.
Clean the devices with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Extremely dirty devices can be cleaned with a mild,
non-abrasive and non-corrosive cleaning agent.
If dirt gets into the plug or the terminal strip, clean these with a cleaning agent for circuit boards or
electrical devices.
10.3 Disposal
At the end of their service life, dispose of the Wireless-Set485-01 or Wireless-Set485-02 in
accordance with the disposal regulations for electronic scrap applicable at the installation site at that
time. Alternatively, return it to SMA with shipping paid by sender, and labeled "FOR DISPOSAL".
