5.1 Selecting the Mounting Location

Requirements for the mounting location:
☐ If the top-hat rail power supply is used, the mounting location must be in the vicinity of a
socket-outlet in the interior area.
☐ The mounting location must be protected against dust, moisture and corrosive substances.
Observe the maximum cable length:
☐ If a Power Module is used, observe the maximum cable length of 10 m for the voltage supply
cable.
Observe minimum clearances:
Figure8: Minimum clearances to be observed
• Observe the minimum clearance to walls and other devices or objects.
• Observe the minimum clearance of 1 m to devices using the 2.4 GHz frequency band, e. g. WLAN devices or microwave ovens. This is to prevent any reduction in connection quality or data transmission speed.
Installation Manual BTREPOUT-IA-en-11 15
Page 16
5 Assembly SMA Solar Technology AG
Determining the Mounting Location
Determine the mounting location by varying the distance between the Bluetooth Repeater Outdoor and devices with a critical connection signal until all devices display at least a "good" signal.
Requirements:
☐The rotary switch MODE is at position 0 (see Section7.1 "Setting the MODE", page23). ☐The rotary switch NetID is set to the NetID of the plant (see Section7.2 "Setting the NetID",
page23).
Danger to life due to electric shock when opening the inverter
Lethal voltages are present in the conductive parts of the inverter.
• Prior to performing any work on the inverter, disconnect the inverter from any voltage sources on the AC and DC sides (see inverter installation manual). Observe the waiting time to allow the capacitors to discharge.
1. Decommission the plant (see the manual of the inverter and of the communication product). Thus, you ensure that the Bluetooth Repeater Outdoor is integrated into the SMA Bluetooth network at the point where the dead zone is, thus improving the Bluetooth connection at that point.
2. Position the Bluetooth Repeater Outdoor half way between the devices with critical connection quality.
3. Connect the voltage supply (see Section6 "Electrical Connection", page19).
4. Recommission the plant (see the installation manual of the inverter and of the communication product).
5. Repeat the plant search with the communication device (see the communication product manual, e.g. Sunny Beam with Bluetooth, Sunny Explorer).
16 BTREPOUT-IA-en-11 Installation Manual
Page 17
SMA Solar Technology AG 5 Assembly
6. Check that the connection quality for all devices is at least "good". During this procedure, all devices must be in their usual positions (e.g., the Sunny Beam with Bluetooth must not be held directly in front of the Bluetooth Repeater Outdoor):
Product Good connection quality
Bluetooth Repeater Outdoor One blue and two yellow LEDs are lit

Use the communication product to check whether the connection signal is improved by using the Bluetooth Repeater Outdoor (see manual of the communication product)
Communication product See manual of the communication product
☑ The connection quality displayed is at least "good" for all devices. Mount the Bluetooth
Repeater Outdoor there at this location.
✖ The connection quality displayed is not at least "good" for all devices?
•Move the Bluetooth Repeater Outdoor to another position and check the connection signals again.
• If necessary, install additional SMA Bluetooth Repeater Outdoor devices.

6 Electrical Connection

6.1 Connecting the Bluetooth Repeater Outdoor with Top-Hat Rail Power Supply Unit to the Voltage Supply

Danger to life due to electric shock in the event of missing separators and missing fuses on the AC cable
• The AC cable used for the connection must have a separator. – In the case of an alternating current supply by means of an IT system the separator must
have two poles in accordance with IEC 60364-1.
• The separator must be easily accessible.
• If the separator is a plug-connection, the socket-outlet must be situate d in close p roximity to t he Bluetooth Repeater Outdoor.
• The AC cable used for the connection must be equipped with a fuse (16 A for Europe and 20 A for the US and Canada).
Danger to life due to electric shock in the event of mixing up the Bluetooth Repeater Outdoor
Only the Bluetooth Repeater Outdoor of the device type „BTREP-OUT.GR1“ is allowed to be connected via the top-hat rail power supply unit to the alternating current grid.
•Ensure that the Bluetooth Repeater Outdoor is of device type „BTREP-OUT.GR1“ before connecting it to the alternating current grid. To do so, check the type label on the Bluetooth Repeater Outdoor (see Section3.3 "Identifying the SMA Bluetooth Repeater Outdoor", page10).
Requirements for the connection cable:
☐ Number of insulated wires: 2 ☐ Cable cross-section: 1 mm ☐ External diameter: 5 mm … 10 mm ☐ Cable must be suitable for outdoor installations. ☐ Cable must be UV resistant. ☐ If a grid connection plug is used in outdoor installations: Grid connection plug must be suitable
for outdoor installations.

7.1 Setting the MODE

The MODE rotary switch is set to the position 0 for delivery. Other positions are not permitted and are intended for SMA Service only.
•If the MODE rotary switch is not positioned correctly, set the correct position:
– Remove the seal insert of the screw seal from the
top of the Bluetooth Repeater Outdoor using a screwdriver (2.5 mm). Thus you can see the MODE rotary switch in the inside of the enclosure and reach it using the screwdriver (2.5 mm).
– Turn the arrow of the MODE rotary switch to the correct position using a screwdriver
(2.5 mm).
– Insert the seal insert of the screw seal and tighten it using a screwdriver (2.5 mm). This
ensures the degree of protection IP54.
