2 Safety
2.1 Intended use
The sonnenProtect 1300-AU-IN-ATS is an emergency power unit accessory designed to supplement the
sonnenBatterie eco 9.43. The sonnenProtect provides power to be supplied to a connected sub-board and load
circuits if a grid outage occurs.
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 comply with the intended use of the product:
Only install the sonnenProtect within the right storage system.
The sonnenProtect must be installed by an accredited sonnen installer & qualified electrician.
The sonnenProtect must only be connected within the storage system as described here. The output of
the sonnenProtect must not be connected to the building mains.
Only connect electrical loads that do not exceed the nominal power (in continuous operation) and
maximum power (when switched on) of the sonnenProtect (1300W).
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 mustonly beinstalled andcommissioned by accreditedsonnen installers &qualifiedelectricians.
Authorised electricians must meet the following criteria:
The electrician must be a person with technical qualification, sufficient experience and current
electrical license to enable him/her to avoid dangers which electricity may create.
The electrician must also be a fully accredited sonnen installer certified by sonnen Australia.

a sub-board. If the accessory is not to be immediately
connected, thenleave the output cable & gland within the
internal cavity of the main unit.
►When wiring the output cable into a backup load switch board
it is essential that the 30mA RCBO is used as the main switch
and then in series the supplied 6A MCB is used to protect all sub
load circuits against any excess draw from the backup circuitry.

6.4.1 Connecting to load circuits via backup sub-board
The backup load circuits can be either wired directly from a dedicated backup sub-board supplied via the
sonnenProtect accessory. Alternatively, the circuits can be fed from the existing switch panel which in turn is
fed from the sonnenProtect accessory output cable in addition to the normal grid supply.
The supply to the circuits powered from the sonnenProtect need to be protected by the 30mA RCBO which
has been supplied with the sonnenProtect 1300-AU-IN-ATS kit set.
If the loads are to be fed directly from the existing switch panel, then it is important to clearly label and identify
those circuits being supplied as they will automatically be powered even when the grid has failed (when there is
sufficient battery supply to enable the sonnenProtect).
It is essential that under normal load condition the appliances and/or load circuits being supplied by the
sonnenProtect do not exceed 6A (1300W). All loads after the RCBO will need to be protected by the 6A MCB
supplied with the sonnenProtect accessory set.
In some circumstances the combined power draw of both full charge rate of the sonnenBatterie (3300W) as
well as the full power supply of the sonnenProtect (1300W) need to be considered. To enable this situation,
included within the sonnenProtect 1300-AU-IN-ATS kit set is a 25A main MCB which should be used as the
sonnenBatterie MCB (Main AC isolator). In addition to the higher rating of the protective device the supply
cable itself depending upon route length and location may also need to be replaced with a larger CSA cable.
The sub-board itself and any further protective devices for any sub-circuit after the 6A MCB will need to be
supplied by the installer.
6.5 Monitoring the backup loads
The backup loads to be monitored in normal grid operation must become part of the load measured circuits by
the sonnen system. To enable this the CT position and switchboard configuration must be installed in Setup 4
configuration.
