WLAN
The inverter is equipped with a WLAN interface as standard. The inverter is delivered with the
WLAN interface activated as standard. If you do not want to use WLAN, you can deactivate the
WLAN interface.
In addition, the inverter has a WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) function. The WPS function connects the
inverter automatically with an end device (e.g. smartphone, tablet PC or computer). You can
activate the WPS function by tapping on the enclosure lid twice in quick succession. The open
interface will then be signalized via the rapid flashing of the blue LED on the inverter.
Limited function in the event of frost
The integrated WLAN interface is only designed for temperatures down to -20°C.
• Deactivate the WLAN interface at low temperatures (see Section9.14 "Switching WLAN
On and Off", page57).
Grid Management Services
The inverter is equipped with service functions for grid management.
Depending on the requirements of the grid operator, you can activate and configure the functions
(e.g. active power limitation) via operating parameters.
SMAOptiTracGlobalPeak
SMAOptiTracGlobalPeak is an advancement of SMAOptiTrac and allows the operating point of
the inverter to follow the optimal operating point of the PV array (MPP) precisely at all times. In
addition, with the aid of SMAOptiTracGlobalPeak, the inverter detects several maximum power
points in the available operating range, such as may occur particularly with partially shaded
strings. SMA OptiTrac Global Peak is enabled by default.
All-pole sensitive residual-current monitoring unit
The all-pole sensitive residual-current monitoring unit detects alternating and direct differential
currents. In single-phase and three-phase inverters, the integrated differential current sensor detects
the current difference between the neutral conductor and the line conductor(s). If the current
difference increases suddenly, the inverter disconnects from the utility grid.
Connection of the SMAEnergyMeter
If an SMAEnergyMeter is installed in the PV system, the inverter can receive data on the
household energy consumption directly from this.
