2.1 Intended Use
The Speedwire data module is a Speedwire communication interface for the battery inverter
Sunny Island.
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 Speedwire data module performs the following tasks:
• Set-up of a Speedwire network
• Data exchange with Sunny Explorer and Sunny Home Manager
The Speedwire data module is available as retrofit kit.
Only operate the Speedwire data module with supported products.
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 enclosed documentation is an integral part of this product.
• Read and observe the documentation.
• Keep the documentation in a convenient place for future reference.
Only use the Speedwire data module in accordance with the instructions in the enclosed
documentation. Any other use can result in personal injury or property damage.

2.3 Skills of Qualified Persons
The work described in this document must be performed by skilled persons only. Qualified persons
must have the following skills:
• Training in the installation and commissioning of electrical devices and systems
• Knowledge of how to deal with the dangers and risks associated with installing and using
electrical devices and systems
• Knowledge of all applicable standards and directives
• Knowledge of how an inverter works and is operated
• Knowledge of and adherence to this document and all safety precautions
2.4 Safety Precautions
Electric Shock
High voltages that can lead to electric shock, are present in the system and on the Sunny Island.
The Sunny Island can start on its own from standby. Before opening the Sunny Island, note the
following safety rules:
• Switch off or disconnect the devices in the following order:
– Sunny Island (see operating manual of the Sunny Island)
– Circuit breaker of the Sunny Island on the distribution board
– BatFuse load-break switch
• Ensure that the system cannot be reconnected.
• Open the enclosure lid of the Sunny Island and ensure that no voltage is present
(see operating manual of the Sunny Island).
• Ground and short-circuit the AC conductors.
• Cover or shield any adjacent live components.
Burn Hazards
Parts of the Sunny Island enclosure can get hot during operation.
• During operation, do not touch any parts other than the enclosure lid of the Sunny Island.
Electrostatic Discharge
By touching electronic components, you can cause damage to or destroy the Sunny Island or the
Speedwire data module through electrostatic discharge.
• Ground yourself before touching any components of the Sunny Island or the Speedwire data
module.

Figure2: Components of the Speedwire data module
The Speedwire network can be set up in either line, star or tree topology, depending on the devices
used and the number of network connections. The Speedwire data module has one network port.
Depending on the network topology, the Speedwire data module can be connected to the
Sunny Explorer software either via the router or network switch or directly to the computer.
