Inverter Model Requirements
The SUN2000-2KTL/3KTL/4KTL/5KTL-L0 does not support inverter cascading.
•The number of devices that can be cascaded varies with the Dongle model. You can view
the maximum number of devices that can be connected to the Dongle from the label on
the external package.
•If devices are connected to the RS485-2, RS485_2, or 485B2 and 485A2 ports of the main
inverter, the devices are not included as cascaded devices.
2Installation and Commissioning
•You need to prepare a standard SIM card (size: 25 mm x 15 mm; capacity: ≥ 64 KB). When
connecting to Huawei FusionSolar Smart PV Management System, prepare a SIM card
based on the traffic requirements in the following table.
•Before installing a SIM card, you need to remove the Dongle from an inverter.
Install the SIM
card in the arrow
direction.
Ensure that the Dongle
shell is properly
installed.

The Dongle fails to connect to the
management system because it has no signals,
weak

reliably connected, check the SIM card signal
through
the app.
If no signal is received or the
signal strength is weak, contact the carrier.
Check whether the tariff and traffic of the SIM
card are normal. If not, recharge the SIM card
or buy traffic.

•SDongleA-05 (Dongle for short) is a smart communications expansion module that works
with Huawei inverters to implement communication between inverters and the
management system using WLAN or FE.
•A Dongle can be used for device cascading using RS485 communication (inverter cascaded
or inverters cascaded with other devices). A maximum of 10 devices can be cascaded.
•When multiple inverters are cascaded, only one Smart Dongle or one SmartLogger is
allowed.

•Inverters with different appearances are used in the same communication scenario. The
inverters in this document are used as an example.
•In the communications scenario, ensure that the wireless network of the inverter and router
is not disturbed and that the signal is normal.
You are advised to use a CAT 5E outdoor shielded network cable (outer diameter < 9 mm;
internal resistance ≤ 1.5 Ω/10 m) and shielded RJ45 connectors.

•In areas (such as the UK) where the FusionSolar app is not available, or
when a third-party management system is used, only the SUN2000 app
can be used for commissioning. This document uses the FusionSolar app
as an example to describe the commissioning method. For the SUN2000
app, perform operations as required.
•To obtain the SUN2000 App, scan the QR code or search for “SUN2000”
in Huawei AppGallery, download the latest installation package, and
install the SUN2000 app by following the instructions. The SUN2000 app
version should be 3.2.00.002 (Android) or later.
