2 Safety
SMA Solar Technology AG
Operating manual EDMM-10-BE-en-20 9
WARNING
Danger to life due to electric shock
Under fault conditions, when working on the power supply circuit there may be dangerous
voltages present on the product. This can result in death or serious injury.
• For power supply units with a fixed connection, make sure that a disconnection unit (e.g.
miniature circuit breaker) is present outside the power supply unit.
• For power supply units with a plug connection, make sure that the electrical outlet for the
power supply unit is close to the power supply unit.
• The disconnection unit and the electrical outlet for the power supply unit must be freely
accessible at all times.
CAUTION
Damage due to electromagnetic radiation
This product
• Persons must not remain closer than 20 cm (8 in) to the product for long periods of time.
NOTICE
Damage to the product due to condensation
If the product is moved from a cold environment to a warm environment, condensation may form
in the product. This can damage the product or impair its functionality.
• When there are large temperature differences, wait until the product has reached room
temperature to connect the voltage supply.
• Make sure the product is dry.
NOTICE
Manipulation of PV system data in Ethernet networks
You can connect the supported SMA products to the Internet. When connected to the Internet,
there is a risk that unauthorized users can access and manipulate the data of your PV system.
• Set up a firewall.
• Close unnecessary network ports.
• If absolutely necessary, only enable remote access via a virtual private network (VPN).
• Do not use the port forwarding feature. This also applies to the used Modbus ports.
• Disconnect system components from other network components (network segmentation).

2 Safety SMA Solar Technology AG
Operating manualEDMM-10-BE-en-2010
NOTICE
High costs due to inappropriate Internet tariff
Depending on use, the data volume of the product transferred via the Internet may vary in size.
The data volume depends, for example, on the number of inverters in the system, the frequency
of device updates, the frequency of data transfer to SunnyPortal or the use of FTP push. High
costs for the Internet connection can be the result.
• SMA Solar Technology AG recommends using an Internet flat rate with a monthly data
volume of at least 1 GB for systems with up to five SMA products.
• SMA Solar Technology AG recommends using an Internet flat rate with a monthly data
volume of at least 3 GB for systems with up to 50 SMA products.
• SMA Solar Technology AG recommends a data transfer rate of at least 10 Mbit/s for flat-
rate surfing.
Electrical installations (for North America)
All installations must conform with the laws, regulations, codes and standards applicable in the
jurisdiction of installation (e.g. National Electrical Code® ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian
Electrical Code® CSA-C22.1.).
• Before connecting the product to the utility grid, contact your local grid operator. The
electrical connection of the product must be carried out by qualified persons only.
• Ensure that the cables or conductors used for electrical connection are not damaged.
DHCP Server is recommended.
The DCHP server automatically assigns the appropriate network settings to your nodes in the
local network. A manual network configuration is therefore not necessary. In a local network,
the Internet router is usually the DHCP server. If the IP addresses in the local network are to be
assigned dynamically, DHCP must be activated in the Internet router (see the Internet router
manual).
In networks where no DHCP server is active, proper IP addresses must be assigned from the
free address pool of the network segment to all network participants to be integrated during
commissioning.
IP addresses of Modbus devices
In systems with Modbus devices, static IP addresses must be assigned to all Modbus devices.
Suitable IP addresses can be assigned to the Modbus devices from the free address supply of
the network segment either manually or dynamically via DHCP.
If the IP addresses are to be assigned dynamically, DHCP must be activated in the router (see
the router manual). Make sure that the Modbus devices do not contain variable IP addresses
but always the same IP addresses.

Grid management services
The product is equipped with service functions for grid management.
Depending on the requirements of the grid operator, you can activate and configure the functions
(e.g. active power limitation) via operating parameters.
The setpoints from the grid operator can either be implemented via open-loop control or closed-
loop control. For this, the setpoints are specified via Modbus, via analog or digital signals or
manually in the installation assistant. The implementation of the setpoints is reported back to the
grid operator.
Active power limitation
The setpoint for active power limitation is specified in percent. The total system power is taken as
the reference value. For this, the setpoints are specified via Modbus, via analog or digital signals or
manually in the installation assistant.
