2.1 Appropriate usage
The TEMPSENSOR-AMBIENT Ambient Temperature Sensor consists of a PT100 measuring resistor
that is accommodated in an lP65 plastic enclosure. The TEMPSENSOR-AMBIENT Ambient
Temperature Sensor enables measurements in a 4-wire system. The measurement range of the
Ambient Temperature Sensor is between –30 °C and +80 °C. Connect the sensor to Sunny
SensorBox for further processing of the ambient data.
The Ambient Temperature Sensor is suitable for use only with original SMA accessories or with
accessories recommended by SMA Solar Technology AG.
Appropriate usage also includes observing all further documentation relating to this device and its
components.
2.2 Safety Precautions
NOTICE!
Destruction of the PV plant by a lightning strike.
All devices installed on a rooftop must be integrated into the existing lightning protection
of the PV plant.
