Dear Customer,
Thank you for considering SMA inverters for your project.
The regulation of G59/3 for installation of applicable PV system becomes mandatory on 01.12.2014 (CW
49). In order to perform the Firmware (FW) update to the FLX Pro 15 and FLX Pro 17 inverter you may need to
consider the following points:
 No hardware update is necessary.
 To upgrade the inverters, you just need to install the newest firmware version 3.10 (the firmware will be
available at
https://www.sma-uk.com/osc/downloads.html ).
 The G59/3 certificate will be available for selection in the download area.
 For older Inverters produced before 1st September, before week 36 (not born with 3.05) it is
mandatory to first update to the software version 3.05 (also available in the download area) before
installing software 3.10 or later SW versions. The last 3 positions of the serial number contain the date
of production: WWY (Week/ Week / Year). So all inverters with 364 or higher have 3.05.
Required equipment to update the firmware:
 Computer
 Cat5 Ethernet cable
 Newest firmware version
o Extract the downloaded .zip onto the computer and note the location. The zipped file contains
one .dcf file comprising the update.
 Level 2 login (user name and password) in case the inverters are already installed
o Obtain from SMA Serviceline. See Appendix B for contact details.
We look forward to support you through a smooth transition.
Kind Regards,
SMA Solar UK Ltd
