2.1 Intended Use
The Sunny Central is a PV inverter which converts the direct current generated in the PV modules into grid-compliant
alternating current. An external MV transformer fitted downstream feeds the generated alternating current into the utility
grid.
The Sunny Central is suitable for outdoor installation provided that the specified safety distances are maintained.
The enclosure conforms with degree of protection IP54. IP54 means that when the Sunny Central is closed, it is protected
against splashing water from all angles and against interior dust deposits. The Sunny Central is classified under
Class 4C2 according to EN 60721-3-4 and is suitable for operation in a chemically active environment.
The maximum permissible DC input voltage of the Sunny Central must not be exceeded.
The Sunny Central must only be operated in conjunction with a suitable MV transformer. The MV transformer must be
designed for voltages that arise during pulsed mode of the Sunny Central. The maximum AC voltages can reach the
following magnitudes to ground:
• For inverter type SC 500CP-JP, voltages of max. ±800 V to ground.
• For inverter type SC 630CP-JP, voltages of max. ±1,450 V to ground.
• For inverter type SC 800CP-JP, voltages of max. ±1,450 V to ground.
Do not deactivate or adjust settings that affect grid management services without first obtaining approval from the grid
operator.
Alterations to the product, e.g. changes or modifications, are only permitted with the express written permission of
SMA Solar Technology AG. Making unauthorized changes will void the warranty and is likely to result in invalidation of
the operating permit. SMA Solar Technology AG shall not be held liable for any damage caused by such changes.
Use the Sunny Central in strict accordance with the information provided in the enclosed documentation. Any other
application may cause personal injury or property damage.
The enclosed documentation is an integral part of this product.
• Read and observe the documentation.
• Keep the documentation in a convenient place for future reference.

2.2 Safety Precautions
This section contains safety precautions that must be observed at all times when working on or with the product.
To prevent personal injury and property damage and to ensure long-term operation of the product, read this section
carefully and follow all safety precautions at all times.
Danger to life from electric shock due to live voltage
High voltages are present in the live components of the Sunny Central. Touching live components results in death or
serious injury due to electric shock.
• When working in a high contact-risk environment, wear personal protective equipment.
• Do not touch any live components.
• Follow the instructions precisely.
• Observe all warning messages on the product and in the documentation.
• Observe all safety precautions of the module manufacturer.
• Provided live voltage is not absolutely necessary, always disconnect the following components from voltage
sources before performing any work on the inverter:
– Grid voltage for grid feed-in
– Internal power supply
– DC voltage from the PV array
– Additional external voltages, e.g. control signals from a control room
• Ensure that no disconnected components can be reconnected.
• After disconnecting the Sunny Central from voltage sources, wait at least 15 minutes for the capacitors of the
Sunny Central to discharge completely.
• Before working on the Sunny Central, check that all devices are completely voltage-free.
• Ground and short-circuit.
• Cover or isolate any adjacent live components.
Danger to life from electric shock due to live DC cables
DC cables connected to PV modules that are exposed to sunlight carry live voltage. Touching live components results
in death or serious injury.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the Sunny Central.
• Prior to connecting the DC cables, ensure that the DC cables are voltage-free.
Danger to life from electric shock due to ground fault
If a ground fault has occurred, parts of the PV system that are supposedly grounded may in fact be live.
Touching incorrectly grounded components results in death or serious injuries from electric shock.
• Ensure that no voltage is present before touching any components of the PV system.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the Sunny Central.

/05*$&
Danger to life due to blocked escape routes
In hazardous situations, blocked escape routes can lead to death or serious injury. Opening the doors of two
Sunny Central inverters located opposite each other blocks the escape route. It is imperative that the escape route is
freely accessible at all times.
• An escape route of at least 500 mm width must be available at all times. Make sure the minimum passage width
of the escape route meets local standards.
• Do not place any objects in the escape route area.
• Remove all tripping hazards from escape routes.
• If two Sunny Central inverters have been installed facing each other, never open the doors of both inverters
simultaneously.
Risk of burns due to hot components
Some components of the Sunny Central can get very hot during operation. Touching these components can cause
burns.
• Observe the warning messages on the devices.
• During operation, do not touch any components marked with such warnings.
• After disconnecting the plant from voltage sources, wait until any hot components have cooled down sufficiently.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the Sunny Central.
Damage to the devices due to dust or moisture penetration
Dust or moisture penetration can damage the Sunny Central or impair its functionality.
• Do not open the Sunny Central during rainfall or humidity of more than 95%.
• Only service the Sunny Central when the environment is dry and free of dust.
• Do not operate the Sunny Central with the door open.
• Do not connect the external supply voltage before the Sunny Central has been mounted and installed.
• Switch on the circuit breaker for external supply voltage. This will activate the heating element and internal fans so
that they can switch on automatically when needed.
• If the installation or commissioning process is interrupted, mount all the panels of the Sunny Central.
• Close and lock the Sunny Central.
Damage to electronic components due to electrostatic discharge
Electrostatic discharge can damage or destroy electronic components.
• Observe the ESD safety regulations when working on the device.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the device.
• Discharge electrostatic charge by touching uncoated, grounded enclosure parts (e.g. near the grounding
connection on the doors). Only then is it safe to touch electronic components.

Damage to the inverter through moisture or dust intrusion
During assembly work, the inverter is not sufficiently protected against dust and moisture. If the assembly work is carried
out during rainfall or in a dusty environment, moisture or dust can penetrate the inverter. This can damage the electronic
components or impair the functionality of the inverter.
• Make sure that no dust, moisture or foreign bodies are present in the inverter after assembly.
Damage to the inverter due to improper storage of the enclosure parts
Seals are to be found on the rear side of the enclosure parts. If the enclosure parts are not stored properly, these seals
may be damaged. If seals are damaged, this will compromise the weatherproof seal of the inverter. Dust and moisture
can penetrate the inverter.
• Store the enclosure parts properly.
• Replace damaged seals.
Take weather conditions into account
Before starting the assembly work, ensure that the weather conditions are suitable for opening the inverter. If this is
not the case, you must take appropriate measures to protect the inverter from inclement weather.
6.1 Disassembling the Kick Plates
The kick plates are mounted at the bottom front and rear of the inverter.
