SMA 5000TL - Connecting the Inverter to the Network

2. Determine the rotary switch setting for the desired display language. Call up the Technical
Information "Overview of the Rotary Switch Settings" at www.SMA-Solar.com.
3. Set the rotary switch A to 0 using a flat-blade
screwdriver (blade width: 2.5mm). This ensures
that the selected data country set remains
unchanged.
4. Set the rotary switch B to the required language using a flat-blade screwdriver (blade width:
2.5mm).
5. Recommission the inverter (see service manual at www.SMA-Solar.com).
☑ The inverter adopts the settings after commissioning. This can take up to five minutes.
