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 doing so.
Children must not play with the device.
Failure to comply with the conditions of the warranty and the information spe-
cified in this document invalidates any warranty claims.
2.2 Intended use of the sonnenProtect
The sonnenProtect 4000 is an backup power unit designed to supplement the
sonnenBatterie 10. The sonnenProtect - in conjunction with the appropriate storage sys-
tem of the sonnen GmbH - serves to supply power in the event of a power failure. Any
other use is considered improper use.

Danger due to electrical 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 stor-
age system is switched off. As the sonnenProtect is connected to the inverter of the stor-
age system, this means that the voltage from the inverter also flows into the
sonnenProtect.
Therefore:
Disconnect the sonnenProtect and the storage system from the power (see Decom-
missioning the sonnenProtect [P.75]).
Only then can the sonnenProtect be opened.

Safety | 2

4.3 Type plate
The type plate for the storage system is located on the power module and can be viewed
from the outside through the inspection window. The type plate can be used to uniquely
identify the power module and thus the storage system. The information on the type plate
is required for safe use and for service matters.
The following information is specified on the type plate:
• Item designation
• Item number
• Technical data of the storage system
The battery capacity and the nominal power of the storage system differ depending on the
number of battery modules installed. For this reason the installed battery capacity must be
ticked on the type plate by the electrician installing the system (see Filling out the type
plate [P.76]).
4.4 Optional accessories
The following optional accessories can be added to the storage system in order to extend
its functionality:
