5. Log into the user interface. SunnyIsland operating manual
6. Perform basic configuration of the inverter. Please note, that the per-
sonal SMAGridGuard code for changing the grid-relevant parame-
ters must be available after completion of the first ten operating hours
(see "Application for the SMAGridGuard code" available at
www.SMA-Solar.com).

7. Test the communication in the multicluster system Section5.2, page29
8. Adjust the configuration of the SunnyIsland. Section5.4.1, page30
9. Adjust the configuration of the PV inverters. Section5.4.2, page31
10. Commission the system with increased self-consumption and battery-
backup function. Observe that the system data in the information
sheet for SunnyIsland systems must be recorded to receive services
for the SunnyIsland system.

* Prior to commissioning, ensure that the residual-current devices and tie switches are tripping properly.
5.2 Testing Communication in the Multicluster System
1. Activate the user interface of the inverter (see the inverter operating manual).
2. Log in as Installer.
3. Activate the communication test on any master within the multicluster system:
• Access the SunnyIsland user interface for the selected master (see operating manual of the SunnyIsland).
• Log in as Installer.
• Set the parameter Activation of communication test between the clusters to On.
4. Check the status of the communication test on each master within the multicluster system. For this, execute the
following steps:
• Access the SunnyIsland user interface for the selected master (see operating manual of the SunnyIsland).
• Log in as Installer.
• Select the parameter Status of the communication test and read off the value.
☑ The parameter Status of the communication test has the value OK. The communication test is completed
on the respective master.
5. If the parameter Status of the communication test has the value Wait on a master in the multicluster system,
carry out the following steps:
• Ensure that the cable length for the multicluster communication does not exceed the maximum value (see
operating manual of SunnyIsland).
• Ensure that all cables of the multicluster communication are correctly connected (see operating manual of the
SunnyIsland).
• Ensure that the terminators for the multicluster communication are correctly inserted (see operating manual of
the SunnyIsland).
6. If the parameter Status of the communication test has the value OK on each master in the multicluster system,
disable the communication test:
• Access the SunnyIsland user interface for the selected master (see operating manual of the SunnyIsland).
