7.1 Commissioning Procedure
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 Section7.2, page52).
• 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 SunnyPortal. This prevents
unnecessary connection attempts of the inverter with SunnyPortal.
This section describes the commissioning procedure and gives an overview of the steps you must
perform in the prescribed order.
Procedure See
1. Commission the inverter. Section7.2, page52
2. Establish a connection to the user interface of the inverter.
There are various connection options to choose from for
this:
• Direct connection via WLAN
• Connection via WLAN in the local network
• Connection via Ethernet in the local network
Section8.2, page56
3. Log into the user interface. Section8.3, page60
4. Select the inverter configuration option. Please note that
the SMAGridGuard code for changing the grid-relevant
parameters must be available after completion of the first
ten feed-in hours or installation assistant (see "Application
for the SMAGridGuard code" available at www.SMA-
Solar.com).
Section7.3, page53
5. Ensure that the country data set has been configured cor-
rectly.
