2 Safety

2.1 Intended Use

The Speedwire/Webconnect data module is a Speedwire communication interface with Webconnect function for inverters.

Speedwire is a cable-based type of communication based on the Ethernet standard and the communication protocol SMA Data2+. This enables inverter-optimized 10/100 Mbit data transmission between Speedwire devices in PV systems. The Webconnect function enables direct data transmission between the inverters of a small-scale PV system and the Internet portal Sunny Portal without any additional communication device and for a maximum of four inverters per Sunny Portal system. For this, a Speedwire/Webconnect data module must be installed in each of the inverters. You can access your Sunny Portal system from any computer with an Internet connection.

The inverter still complies with the standard after the product has been installed. For safety reasons, it is not permitted to modify the product or install components that are not explicitly

recommended or distributed by SMA Solar Technology AG for this product. The type label must remain permanently attached to the product. Use the Speedwire/Webconnect data module only in accordance with the enclosed documentation

and with the local standards and directives. 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 due to electric shock when opening the inverter

High voltages are present in the conductive components of the inverter. Touching live components results in death or serious injury.

• Prior to performing any work on the inverter, always disconnect the inverter from all voltage sources on the AC and DC sides (see inverter installation manual). Observe the waiting time to allow the capacitors to discharge.

8 SWWEBCONDM-IA-en-16 Installation Manual

SMA Solar Technology AG 2 Safety

Risk of burns due to hot enclosure parts

Some parts of the inverter enclosure can get hot during operation. Touching these enclosure parts can result in burn injuries.

• Do not touch any parts other than the lower enclosure lid of the inverter during operation.

Damage to the inverter due to electrostatic discharge

The internal components of the inverter can be irreparably damaged by electrostatic discharge.

• Ground yourself before touching any inverter component.

2.3 Operating Instructions

High costs possible due to inappropriate Internet tariffs

When using the Webconnect function, a constant Internet connection is required. Depending on the quality of the Internet connection, the data transfer volume for an inverter is

between 150 MB and 550 MB per month. When using the system overview in Sunny Portal with live data display, there is an additional data volume of 600 kB per hour.

• Since there is a permanent Internet connection to Sunny Portal, time-based billing systems should be avoided. High costs could be incurred. SMA Solar Technology AG recommends using an Internet flat rate.

If UMTS is used, VoIP is required

If UMTS is used, VoIP (Voice over IP) is required to use the Webconnect function.

• Ensure that the UMTS provider also provides the VoIP service.
