2.1 Appropriate Usage
The Sunny WebBox is a data logger that records and logs the data of a PV plant. The Sunny WebBox
makes the data available via the integrated web server and a user interface for download.
Additionally, the Sunny WebBox can be used for remote diagnostics and the configuration of
connected devices in a PV plant via the computer.
With the Sunny WebBox all data of the connected devices can be continually recorded and
evaluated. During operation the Sunny WebBox records all values of the PV plant every 2 minutes.
Values of currently opened parameter groups are updated by the Sunny WebBox every 20 seconds.
If the connection between the Sunny WebBox and the PV plant is broken, the Sunny WebBox
recreates the connection automatically, as soon as this is possible.
The Sunny WebBox is integrated into the Bluetooth plant as a network forming device (Master
device). Network forming devices are principally communication products which form the structure of
the Bluetooth PV plant, collect, evaluate and process data.
The number of devices which the Sunny WebBox can manage depends on the number of master
devices in the Bluetooth network with the same NetID. If the Sunny WebBox is the only Master in the
Bluetooth network, the Sunny WebBox can manage up to 50 devices. If 2 masters are present in the
Bluetooth network (e.g. Sunny Explorer or Sunny Beam with Bluetooth), a maximum of 25 devices
can be managed by the Sunny WebBox. A maximum of one Sunny WebBox is allowed in a Bluetooth
network with the same NetID. Additional information about SMA Bluetooth Wireless Technology can
be found in the download section at www.SMA-America.com.
The Sunny WebBox is only to be operated using the supplied plug-in power supply and in the voltage
range intended for this.
Do not use the data from Sunny WebBox for billing purposes. Additional costs can occur through the
use of the internet.
The Sunny WebBox is only to be used with original accessories or recommended accessories
approved by SMA.
Only use the Sunny WebBox exclusively for the purposes described in the manual.
Carefully read the documentation belonging to the Sunny WebBox before you commission the
Sunny WebBox.
Also refer to the technical data of the Sunny WebBox.
Standards
The Sunny WebBox complies with the following standards:
• FCC Part 15 ( see page 60).

NOTICE
Safety-relevant parameters
You can change the safety-related inverter parameters of your PV plant using the
Sunny WebBox. Incorrectly set parameters can cause connected inverters to deactivate.
This results in yield losses. Usually, these safety-relevant parameters may only be changed
upon consultation with the electric power company into whose grid you are feeding. In
case of doubts, contact your electric power company.
NOTICE
Touching the components can result in electrostatic discharges. This can result in damage
to or destruction of the device.
