SMA Solar Technology AG PV Inverters in Stand-alone Grid Systems
Technical Description SI5048-TB-TEN110340 141
17.1.1 Setting via Rotary Switch with SB 3000TL/4000TL/5000TL.
1. Set the rotary switch, A, with a screwdriver (2.5 mm) to position "E".
2. Set the chosen language via the rotary switch B with a screwdriver (2.5 mm). You can find the
configuration of the switch in the manual of the PV inverter.
☑ Stand-alone grid operation and the desired language have been set.
17.1.2 Setting via Rotary Switch with SB 2000HF/2500HF/
3000HF and STP 10000TL/12000TL/15000TL/17000TL
1. Set the rotary switch, A, with a screwdriver (2.5 mm) to the desired position:
– Position "D" = Stand-alone grid operation at 60 Hz
– Position "E" = Stand-alone grid operation at 50 Hz
2. Set the chosen language via the rotary switch B with a screwdriver (2.5 mm). You can find the
configuration of the switch in the manual of the PV inverter.
☑ Stand-alone grid operation and the desired language have been set.
17.1.3 Setting via Communication or Software
You can set the PV inverter to stand-alone grid operation (OFF-Grid) via communication or software.
Depending on the device type, the stand-alone grid operation (OFF-Grid) is set using the parameter
"CntrySet", "Set country standard" or "Default". Carry out the parameter change as described in the
manual of the communication device or of the software.
Setting the parameter "CntrySet" or "Set country standard"
The setting to stand-alone grid operation using the parameter "CntrySet" or "Set country
standard" can only be performed with the following PV inverters:
• SB 3000TL/4000TL/5000TL
• SB 2000HF/2500HF/3000HF
• STP 10000TL/12000TL/15000TL/17000TL
Setting the "Default" parameter
The setting to stand-alone grid operation using the parameter "Default" can only be
performed with the following PV inverters:
• SB 1200, SB1700, SB 2500, SB 3000, SB 3300, SB 3800, SMC 4600A,
SMC 5000A, SMC 6000A, SMC 7000HV, SMC 6000TL, SMC 7000TL,
SMC 8000TL, SMC 9000TL, SMC 10000TL, SMC 11000TL
