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. Ask your installer to check for correct
inverter operation at regular intervals.

• Do not place objects on the enclosure.
Green LED is on: In operation
Green LED is ashing: Waiting for sucient irradiation.
Red LED is on: Disturbance: 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.

The power that the inverter is currently feeding into the grid.

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.

The total energy which 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 bar for the current hour is updated
automatically every ve seconds.
After four seconds, the bar goes out 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.
