2 Safety
2.1 Intended use
The sonnenProtect 1300-AU-IN-ATS is an emergency power unit designed to supplement the sonnenBatterie
eco 9.43. The sonnenProtect provides power to the connected consumer even if a grid outage occurs. It can
only be operated together with the right storage system from sonnen GmbH. Any other application is
considered improper use.
Improper use poses a risk of death or injury to the user or third parties as well as damage to the product and
other items of value.
The following points must therefore be observed to complywith the intended use of the product:
Only operate the sonnenProtect together with the right storage system.
The sonnenProtect must be installed by an authorized electrician.
The sonnenProtect must only be connected to the storage system as described here. The outputof the
sonnenProtect must not be connected to the building mains.
Only connect an electrical consumer that does not exceed the nominal power (in continuous operation)
and maximum power (when switched on) of the sonnenProtect.
The sonnenProtect must only be used at a suitable installation location.
The transport and storage conditions must beobserved.
Failure to comply with the conditions of the warranty and the information specified in this document
invalidates any warranty claims.
2.2 Qualified electricians
Improper installation can result in personal injury and/or damage to components. For this reason, the
sonnenProtect must only be installed and commissioned by an accredited sonnen installer and qualified
electrician.
Qualified electricians must meet the following criteria:
The electrician must be a person with technicalknowledge or sufficient experience to enable him/her
to avoid dangers which electricity may create.
The electrician must be a fully accredited sonnen installer certified by sonnen Australia.

2.3 Operating the backup circuits supplied by the sonnenProtect
Incorrect operation can lead to injury to yourself or others and cause damage to property.
The sonnenProtect must only beoperated as described in the product documentation.
2.4 Modifications or changes to the product environment
The sonnenProtect circuitry must only be used in its original state without any user modifications and
only when in perfect working order.
Safety devices must never be overridden, blocked or tampered with.
The interfaces of the sonnenProtect and the storage system must be wired in accordance with the
product documentation.
The number of plug outputs on the sonnenProtect must not be changed.
All repairs on the sonnenProtect must be performed by authorised service technicians only.
2.5 Voltage inside the sonnenProtect accessories
The sonnenProtect contains live electrical parts,which poses a riskof electrical shock. The storage system
inverter also contains capacitors which carry voltage even after the storage system is switchedoff. As the
sonnenProtect is connected to the inverter of the storage system, this means that the voltage from the
inverter also flows into the sonnenProtect. Therefore:
►Do not open the sonnenProtect
►Do not remove any plastic covers.

3.2 System components
The sonnenProtect 1300-AU-IN-ATS comprises of an electrical switching arrangement that is installedand
contained within the main (top) unit of the sonnenBatterie eco 9.43 system. The power supply from the
accessory consistsof a cable existing from the top of the main unit. This cable will be terminated into the
protective device of a backup load supply which has to be supplied, installed, connected and tested by the
installer. The arrangement will supply dedicated circuits / appliances which are to be backed up in the event of
a power failure to a load required not exceeding 1300W.
4 Function
4.1 Basic principle
The power output of the sonnenProtect supplies electrical power both in grid and emergency operation. The
storage system with sonnenProtect accessory automatically toggles between grid operation to emergency
operation. The switchover time between grid and emergency operation is stated in the technical data.
4.2 Grid operation no grid outage
If the public electricity grid is not experiencing an outage, the backup load circuits connected to the
sonnenProtect backup supply will be continuously supplied with electrical power. This electrical power is drawn
directly from the grid and the batteries of the storage system are not discharged by the usage of the
sonnenProtect arrangement.
4.3 Emergency operation grid outage
The sonnenBatterie storage system automatically detects grid outages and disconnects from the public
electricity grid. The power output from the sonnenProtect arrangement is supplied with electrical power from

5 Commissioning
5.1 Commissioning the storage system
It is essential to follow the instructions in the given order when switching on the storage system with
sonnenProtect, because otherwise the storage system cannot function properly.
5.1.2 Switching on the storage system
If the storage system cannot be switched on:
►Do not attempt to switch on the storage system more than three
times.
►Contact the sonnen support Australia!
Further attempts can damage the battery modules.
Fuse switch F1 establishes the connection between the battery and the inverter.
1 Switch on fuse switch F1.
.
The storage system thenstarts up and performs a self-test. Once the self-test is successful, the storage system
is ready to operate.
5.1.2 Switching on the grid voltage
►Switch on the grid voltage using the AC miniature circuit breaker.

5.2 Setting the backup buffer
The backup buffer energy volume will need to be set for you by the installer at point of installation of the
sonnenProtect arrangement. Backup buffer setting can be modified at a later time by contacting the service
division of sonnen Australia: please contact via the www.sonnensuppoprt.com.au website.
6 Maintenance
For fault-free, safe, reliable and long-lasting operation of the sonnenProtect,it is essential to carry out regular
function checks and cleaning.
6.1 Checking function
Maintenance interval Action to be taken
Every 6 months ►Check the function of the insulation monitor with help of the Test key (see 3.2)
6.2 Cleaning
Risk of material damage due to use of unsuitable cleaning agent
or
excessive water
Unsuitable cleaning agents can scratch the surfaces. Furthermore, if cleaningis not carried out properly,
water can get inside the sonnenProtect and cause damage. For this reason:
►Do not use scouring cloths, sponges or cleaning agent.
►Use only moist cloths, not wet cloths.
►Do not use water jets.
►Carefully clean the outside of the sonnenProtect with a clean, moist cloth. For tougher dirt, use a small
amount of household dishwashing detergent on a moist cloth.
