2 Safety
2.1 Intended use
The sonnenProtect 1300 is an emergency power unit designed to supplement the
sonnenBatterie eco 8.2 or eco 9.43. The sonnenProtect provides power to the con-
nected consumer even if a grid outage occurs. It can only be operated together with
the right storage system from sonnen GmbH. Any other use 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 in order to comply with the intended use of the product:
• Only operate the sonnenProtect together with the right storage system.
• The sonnenProtect must be installed by an authorised electrician.
• The sonnenProtect must only be connected to the storage system as described
here. The output of 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 suitable installation location.
• The transport and storage conditions must be observed.
Failure to comply with the conditions of the warranty and the information spe-
cified in this document invalidates any warranty claims.
2.2 Requirements for the electrician
Improper installation can result in personal injury and/or damage to components. For
this reason, the sonnenProtect must only be installed and commissioned by authorised
electricians. Authorised electricians must meet the following criteria:
• The electrician must be a person with a technical knowledge or sufficient experience
to enable him/her to avoid dangers which electricity may create.
• The company for which the electrician works must be certified by sonnen GmbH.
• The electrician must have successfully complete sonnen GmbH certification
training for the product.
2.3 Operating the sonnenProtect
Incorrect operation can lead to injury to yourself or others and cause damage to prop-
erty.
• The sonnenProtect must only be operated as described in the product
documentation.

Safety | 2
KD-346 | 22042 | EN | X01 7 / 20
• This device can be used by children from the age of eight (8) years old and individu-
als impaired physical, sensory or mental capabilities or individuals with limited know-
ledge and/or experience of working with the device, as long as they are supervised or
have been trained to safely use the device and understand the resulting risks of do-
ing so. Children must not play with the device. Cleaning and user maintenance must
not be carried out by children without supervision.
2.4 Product modifications or changes to the product
environment
• The sonnenProtect 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
5 min
The sonnenProtect contains live electrical parts, which poses a risk of electrical shock.
The storage system inverter also contains capacitors which carry voltage even after the
storage system is switched off. 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.

4 Function
4.1 Basic principle
The plug outlet of the sonnenProtect supplies electrical power both in grid and emer-
gency operation. The storage system with sonnenProtect automatically toggles
between grid operation to emergency operation. The switchover time between grid
and emergency operation is stated in the section Technical data [P.8].
4.2 Grid operation - no grid outage
If the public electricity grid is not experiencing an outage, the consumer connected to
the sonnenProtect 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. The storage system controls the flows
of energy in the building and reserves the set backup buffer.

Illustration3: Insulation monitor in grid operation

operation: ‘ON’ LED is off.
4.3 Emergency operation - grid outage
The storage system automatically detects grid outages and disconnects from the pub-
lic electricity grid. The plug outlet of the sonnenProtect is not supplied with electrical
power for the approx. five seconds it takes to switch over to emergency operation.
After this point, the consumer connected to the plug outlet is supplied with electrical
power until the backup buffer of the storage system batteries is depleted.
Once the backup buffer is used up and the battery’s minimum state of charge has
been reached, the plug outlet of the sonnenProtect is no longer supplied with elec-
trical power.

operation
The insulation monitor is activated in emer-
gency operation: ‘ON’ LED lights up. The
storage system switches back to grid opera-
tion with a delay after a grid outage. This can
take a few minutes. During this time the
plug outlet is supplied with power in emer-
gency operation.
4.4 Protection provided by the insulation monitor
The insulation monitor checks the insulation status of the IT network, which the
sonnenProtect forms in emergency operation. If an insulation fault occurs, the insula-
tion monitor terminates the connection to the plug outlet of the sonnenProtect.

NOTICE Use of unsuitable cleaning agent and/or excessive water
Material damage because of scratched surfaces and/or damage caused by penet-
ration of water!
Do not use scouring cloths, sponges or cleaning agent.
Use only moist cloths, not wet cloths, to clean the system.
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.

7 | Troubleshooting
18 / 20 Operating instructions sonnenProtect 1300
7 Troubleshooting
Disturbance Possible reason(s) Correction
The plugt outlet of the sonnenProtect is
not supplying any power. The ‘AL’ LED
of the insulation monitor is on.
There is an insulation fault. Contact the electrician which
installed the sonnenProtect. The
insulation fault needs to be cor-
rected.
The plug outlet of the sonnenProtect is
not supplying any power. The ‘ON’ and
‘AL’ LED of the insulation monitor are
off.
There is a grid outage. The battery is
completely discharged.
Wait until the public grid begins
supplying power again.
The F1.P miniature circuit breaker of the
sonnenProtect is switched off.
Switch on the F1.P miniature
circuit breaker.
The storage system is switched off. Switch on the storage system.
The F1.P miniature circuit breaker is
switching off immediately, or after the
sonnenProtect has been operating for a
longer period.
An electrical consumer with a power
consumption rating that is too high is
connected to the plug outlet of the
sonnenProtect.
Only connect consumers with a
power consumption that does
not exceed the nominal power of
the sonnenProtect.
Only connect consumers with a
power consumption that does
not exceed the maximum power
of the sonnenProtect when
switched on.
The consumer connected to the plug
outlet of the sonnenProtect functions in
grid operation but not in emergency op-
eration.
Some consumers do not function in an IT
network configuration. For example, a
flame monitor, which is often integrated
in gas condensing systems, requires a
connection to the earth potential, which
does not exist in an IT network configur-
ation.
Contact the electrician which
installed the sonnenProtect. It
needs to be checked whether the
electrical consumer functions in
an IT network configuration.
