2.1 Appropriate Usage

The Power Modul enables the power supply of the SMA Bluetooth Repeater via the internal voltage supply of SMA inverters of the type:
Sunny Boy: Sunny Tripower:
• SB 3000TL-20 • STP 10000TL-10
• SB 4000TL-20 • STP 12000TL-10
• SB 5000TL-20 • STP 15000TL-10
• STP 17000TL-10
The Power Modul is exclusively suitable for use in the above mentioned SMA inverter types and for the power supply of the following consumers:
•SMA Bluetooth Repeater
You receive the Power Modul as an upgrade kit. Please observe the respective manual of the inverter and the manual of the SMA Bluetooth Repeater. The Power Modul is only to be employed according to the information in this manual. Any other application may cause injury to persons or material damage.
No installation of the Power Modul possible in event of the use of RS485 communication.
The Power Modul is to be installed on the slot for modules. The slot can only be fitted with 1 module. If the RS485 communication module (DM-485CB-10) is already installed, you must decide on one module. If you want to install the Power Modul, you must first remove the RS485 communication module.
