Target Group
This document is intended for qualified persons. Only
personnel with the following qualifications are al-
lowed to perform the tasks set forth in this document:
• Knowledge about the functional principle and op-
eration of off-grid systems
• Knowledge in how to deal with the dangers and
risks associated with installing and using electrical
devices and batteries

Nomenclature
The MC-PB retrofit kit enables the setup of the multi-
cluster communication and of the RS485 communica-
tion. The multicluster communication is established
between the master of the main cluster and the master
of the extension cluster via CAN. Via RS485 the
Sunny Island can communicate with SMA communica-
tion products and SMA inverters. Use the interface of
the retrofit kit according to the instructions in the docu-
mentation. Any other use may cause property dam-
age. For safety reasons, it is forbidden to modify the
product or install components that are not explicitly
recommended for this product or distributed by SMA.
The enclosed documentation is an integral part of this
product.
• Read and adhere to the documentation.
• Keep the documentation in a convenient place for
future reference.
Check the scope of delivery for completeness and any
externally visible damage. Contact your specialty re-
tailer if the scope of delivery is incomplete or dam-
aged.

The information on the type label is intended to help
you in the safe use of the interface and will be needed
if you contact the SMA Service Line. The type label
must be permanently attached to the interface.

interface
3. Undo the screw for earthing and attach it to the
earthing cable on the printed circuit board
(torque: 2 Nm).
4. Plug the push-on receptacle of the earthing cable
into the flat male tab for earthing.
☑ The interface is grounded.
5. Connect the multicluster communication and
RS485 communication (see technical description
of the Sunny Island / Sunny Backup).
3. Close the Sunny Island. Ensure that enclosure
openings which are not used for the RJ45 data ca-
ble are closed with cable support sleeves (see
technical description of the Sunny Island /
Sunny Backup).
• Dispose of the MC-PB in accordance with the lo-
cally applicable disposal regulations for electron-
ic waste.
or
Return the MC-PB to SMA at your own expense.
Label the packaging with the information
"ZUR ENTSORGUNG" (for disposal).

1. WARNING
Danger to life due to high voltages
High voltages are present in the off-grid system
and in the Sunny Island. The Sunny Island can
start on its own from standby.
• Turn off or disconnect the components in the
following order:
– Sunny Island
– All loads, AC sources, external energy
sources and DC sources
– Miniature circuit-breaker for AC sources
and the external energy source in the
sub-distributions
• Switch the DC miniature circuit-breaker to the
Off position
• Ensure that the device cannot be reconnect-
ed.
• Wait at least 15 minutes. This allows the ca-
pacitors to discharge.
• Open the enclosure lid of the Sunny Island
and ensure that no voltage is present.
• Ground and short-circuit the AC conductors.
• Cover or safeguard any adjacent live compo-
nents.
2. NOTICE
Destruction of the connection socket due to
improper installation
• Ground yourself before touching any compo-
nents.
• Position the interface above the interface slot
and adjust it vertically to it. The RJ45 sockets
point towards the interior of the enclosure.
• Place the interface on the connection socket
and press slightly. This avoids damage of the
pins in the connection socket.
