Safety Instructions |
SMA Technologie AG |
Life-threatening voltages and currents occur within the Sunny Island 3324/4248. Protection against accidental contact is only guaranteed if the following points are followed according to the installation manual:
•the inverter is mounted correctly
•all connections to the inverter are made correctly
•the inverter is properly grounded
•the housing cover is subsequently securely closed

This step assumes that the Sunny Island 3324/4248 has been checked for
•correct connections,
•voltages and
•polarities
by your electrician, and that it has already been commissioned. If this is not the case, have this checked by a qualified electrician!
Proceed as follows:
1.Switch on the Sunny Island 3324/4248 by switching the DC circuit breaker to the "ON" position.
2.The Sunny Island 3324/4248 begins the initialization phase (INIT), during which it performs a number of self-tests to check that there are no faults in the system.
3.You must wait for this to finish.
4.As soon as the initialization phase is finished, the message "To start press <ENTER>" is displayed.
5.Now press <ENTER> and the Sunny Island 3324/4248 starts up.
6.A single beep is heard. The green LED on the control panel of the Sunny Island 3324/ 4248 illuminates.

press <ENTER>
If the inverter does not display the "To start press <ENTER>" message but displays an error message instead, this error must be corrected before the inverter can be put into operation. For this purpose, refer to section 11 "Troubleshooting/Problem Solving" (page 55). Once all corrective measures have been taken, switch off the Sunny Island 3324/4248, then wait for 30 seconds before starting again from point 1.

You can now call up the various menus using the control elements (see section 4.1 "Control Elements" (page 17)) in order to view the measurement values and the parameter settings.
Proceed as follows to set the Sunny Island 3324/4248 to standby mode:
Note that all connected loads are no longer provided with electrical energy once you have stopped the Sunny Island 3324/ 4248.
1.Switch off all loads, as far as this is possible.
2.Press and hold the "ESC" key until the "To stop press ENTER" message appears.
3.Press "ENTER".
4.The Sunny Island 3324/4248 stops and enters standby mode.
5.The message "To start press <ENTER>" is displayed. The green LED on the control panel of the Sunny Island 3324/4248 goes out.
To stop press <ENTER>
To start press <ENTER>
Note that in standby mode there is still voltage present in the inverter (DC, AC input).
Even in standby mode, the Sunny Island 3324/4248 still requires about 4 W of power from the battery.
To switch off the Sunny Island 3324/4248, proceed as follows:

1.Set the Sunny Island 3324/4248 to standby mode (see section 4.2.2 "Stopping" (page 21)).
2.Switch the DC circuit breaker of the Sunny Island 3324/4248 to the "OFF" position.
If anything is still shown on the display several seconds after switching the DC circuit breaker, other voltage sources are active on the AC side.
Note that the Sunny Island 3324/4248 is securely deactivated only once it has also been disconnected from all voltage sources on the AC side. Otherwise, the inverter is NOT securely voltage-free. The housing is not to be opened under any circumstances. For repair work or maintenance, contact qualified electrician. Further instructions can be found in the installation manual of the Sunny Island 3324/4248.
To prevent possible errors, wait at least 30 seconds before switching the inverter on again..
To restart the Sunny Island 3324/4248 after it has switched off due to batteries that are too deeply discharged, proceed as follows:
A complete shutdown indicates that one or more of the system components have failed or are not working properly. Check the components of the system for possible faults or incorrect parameter settings before attemping to restart the system.
• Switch off the DC circuit breaker.
You must wait at least five minutes to allow the capacitors to completely discharge before switching the DC circuit breaker on again.
•After waiting 5 minutes switch the DC circuit breaker on again. The Sunny Island 3324/4248 runs through the INIT phase.
•Once the INIT phase is finished, the message "To start press ENTER" is displayed. Press the "ENTER" key.

Once the inverter is switched on again, it is important that the batteries are charged. If an autostart generator exists in the system, the Sunny Island 3324/ 4248 will start the generator after a few minutes.
•Monitor the generator start and check that the Sunny Island 3324/4248 switches to "CHARGE" operating mode (battery charging mode).
•Check that all other energy generators in your system are also working correctly.
If the Sunny Island 3324/4248 immediately switches off with the fault "VBatLow" (low battery voltage) after restarting, switch off all loads connected to the AC output. The loads can be reconnected once the Sunny Island 3324/ 4248 enters the "CHARGE" operating mode. (Provided that a generator capable of providing the required power is connected to the system.)
The main menu structure is divided into four different groups, each of which having two subsequent submenus.
1.Meters: The "10-Meters" main menu has the following submenus: Sunny Island 3324/4248 measurements ("11-Inverter Meters"), battery measurements ("12Battery Meters") and generator measurements ("13-Generator Meters"). Individual measurement values can be seen in the next two menu levels.
2.Settings: Under the main menu "20-Settings" are four different submenus allowing various system parameters to be viewed and changed. This affects password entry ("21-Password Settings") and all system parameters relating to the Sunny Island 3324/4248 ("22-Inverter Settings"), the batteries ("23-Battery Settings") and the generator ("24-Generator Settings").
3.Diagnose: Under the main menu "30-Diagnose" are two different submenus allowing various diagnostic parameters to be viewed. These are system data ("31-System Information"), and fault messages ("32-Error Information").
4.Operation: The main menu "40-Operation" allows viewing and changing of the operating parameters (e.g. "40-8 SunnyBoys").
Please consult section 4.1.1 "Explanation of the Light-emitting Diodes (LEDs)" (page 18) for information describing how to set the individual parameters.
You will find a tabular list of all parameters in section 10 "Parameter Lists" (page 47).
