2.1 Appropriate Usage
The anemometer is a sensor intended to measure horizontal wind force outdoors. The provided
performance data can be processed by the Sunny SensorBox. Use the anemometer exclusively for
purposes indicated in the installation guide and the indicated application range. Use only SMA
Solar Technology AG original accessories or accessories recommended by SMA Solar Technology.
Read the accompanying documentation for the anemometer and the communication product
carefully before connecting the anemometer.
2.2 Safety Precautions
General safety precautions to avoid bodily harm
• Lay cables so that no one stands on them or trips over them.
• Work on rooftops entails a safety risk, and requires special safeguards to be implemented.
General information in order to avoid damage to the device.
• Damage to the sensors as a result of incorrect connection to the Sunny Boy Control Plus or
Sunny Central Control. Before connecting, read the corresponding installation guide and use
the enclosed circuit diagram when commissioning the Sunny Central Control.
• Integrate the sensor into the existing lightning protection.
• Protect your PV plant components against overvoltage from outside by connecting the sensors
to an overvoltage protector. When using the sensors with the Sunny Central, the corresponding
overvoltage protectors can be ordered as an option from Sunny Central.
