Installation Guide
The connection between the 
inverter with the Bluetooth 
Piggy-Back and the 
communication product is 
disturbed.
The distance between the 
inverter with Bluetooth Piggy-
Back and the communication 
product is too large.
• Decrease the distance
between the inverter with
Bluetooth Piggy-Back and the 
communication product.
• If required, use an SMA
Bluetooth Repeater to cover 
the dead zones.
The Bluetooth radio waves are 
being weakened by obstacles 
(e.g., walls, ceilings, doors).
• Position the communication
product in such a manner as to 
prevent obstacles from 
disturbing the Bluetooth radio 
waves.
• If required, use an SMA
Bluetooth Repeater to cover 
the dead zones.
The distance between the 
inverter with Bluetooth Piggy-
Back and other devices using 
the 2.4 GHz frequency band is 
too small.
• Make sure that the
requirements for the installation 
site of the inverter with 
Bluetooth Piggy-Back are met 
(see section 7.1).
The antenna has not been 
connected correctly to the 
Bluetooth Piggy-Back.
• Ensure that the antenna is
screwed onto the antenna 
cable correctly (see section 
7.3).
• Ensure that the antenna cable
plug is correctly screwed onto 
the antenna connection of the 
Bluetooth Piggy-Back (see 
section 7.3).
The Bluetooth Piggy-Back 
firmware cannot be 
updated.
The inverter's feed-in power is 
less than 50 W.
• Only update the firmware if the
feed-in power is at least 50 W.
