7.1 Commissioning Procedure
This section describes the commissioning procedure and gives an overview of the steps you must
perform in the prescribed order.
Commissioning a product in SMA Energy Systems
If the product is used in an SMA Energy System, the commissioning must be performed
according to the manual of the SMA Energy System. The procedure and the sequence may
differ from the steps described in this section.
• Commissioning an SMA Energy System (see system manual of the SMA Energy System).
Commissioning an inverter that is captured in a communication device
When the inverter is captured in a communication device, the communication device (e.g.
SMA Data Manager) is the unit for configuring the total system. The configuration is
transferred to all inverters in the system. The system password assigned via the communication
device is also the password for the user interface of the inverter.
• Commission the inverter (see Section7.2, page56).
• The initial configuration of the inverter is made via the communication device. The
configuration is transferred to the inverter and the settings of the inverter are overwritten.
• Deactivate the Webconnect function of the inverter via the SunnyPortal. This prevents
unnecessary connection attempts of the inverter with SunnyPortal.
A country data set must be set for feed-in operation
From firmware version 3.13.##.R, the activation conditions for feed-in operation were
changed.
To ensure the inverter begins feed-in operation during initial commissioning, a country data set
must be set (for instance via the installation assistant on the user interface of the product, or via
a communication product).
If no country data set is set, then feed-in operation will be stopped. This state is signaled by the
green and red LEDs flashing simultaneously.
The inverter will automatically start feed-in operation only after the inverter configuration is
completed.
