User manual

AC

Abbreviationfor "alternating current".

Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a radio technology that allows the inverterand other communication devices to
communicate with each other. Bluetooth communication does not require visual contact between the
devices.

DC

Abbreviation for "direct current".

Electronic Solar Switch (ESS)

The Electronic Solar Switch is part of the inverter DC disconnection unit. Electronic Solar Switch must
be securely inserted into the bottom of the inverter and must
only be removed by electrically qualied persons.

PV

Abbreviation for photovoltaics.

Visual inspection

Check the inverter and cables for any signs of external damage. Contact your installer if you nd any
damage. Do not perform any repair work yourself.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Ask your installer to check for correct inverter operation at regular intervals.
If the display eld or the LEDs are dirty and you nd it dicult to read the operating data and
operating states of the inverter, clean the display and the LEDs with a damp cloth. Do not use any
corrosive substances (e.g. solvents, abrasives) for cleaning.

DANGER!

Electric shock caused by high voltage in the inverter.

Even when no external voltage is present, there can still be high voltages in the inverter.

• Electrical installation, repair and retrotting may only be carried out by a trained
electrically qualied person:

• Persons with limited physical or physical abilities may only perform activities on the
inverter after tuition and under supervision.

• Children may not play with the inverter. Children may not have access to an inverter
in operation.

CAUTION!

Risk of injury from touching the enclosure during operation.
Burns to the body.

• Only touch the lower lid of the enclosure during operation.

NOTICE!

Yield loss due to poor heat dissipation!

• Do not place any objects on the enclosure.

Green LED is on: Operation

Green LED is
ashing:

Waiting for sucient irradiation.

Red LED is on: Failure: contact installer.

Blue LED is on: The inverter has been incorporated into a Bluetooth network and can communicate

with other devices with identical NetID.

Blue LED is ashing: The inverter was identied via Sunny Explorer by setting the "Find device"

parameter.

The power and energy of the inverter are displayed in three elds: Power, Day and Total. The
display is updated every ve seconds.

Power

The power that the inverter is currently feeding into the grid.

Day

The energy fed into the grid on this particular day. This equals the
energy generated between the inverter's start-up in the morning to the
current time.

Total

The total energy that the inverter has fed into the grid during its entire
operating time.

The inverter energy is shown as a diagram on the display. The
daily graph is displayed by default. The right-hand ashing bar
of the diagram represents the current hour. If the inverter does not
feed any power to the grid over a longer period of time (e.g. in
darkness or if the PV modules are covered with snow), a gap is
inserted into the chart. The column for the current hour is updated
automatically every ve seconds.
After four seconds, the bar goes off for one second and then
displays the current value.

The display values may deviate from the actual values and must not be used as a basis for invoicing. The inverter's measured values are required for the system management and to control the current to be fed
to the grid. The inverter does not have a calibrated meter.
