4. Strip the conductor insulation by 6 mm.
5. Release the pin connectors of the four-pole plug with a screwdriver and
insert the insulated conductors into pins 1 and 2 of the plug.
6. Note the color of the insulated conductors:
7. Connect the four-pole plug to the pin connector assigned to the
corresponding energy meter. Insert the four-pole plug into the lower pin
row.
8. Connect the end of the cable to the energy meter. Observe the polarity of the insulated conductors.
9. Use the labels provided to mark each cable with the pin connector and energy meter to which it is assigned.
10. Make a note of the S0 pulses per kWh of each energy meter. This will facilitate the meter configuration in
Sunny Portal.
Requirements:
☐ The PV system must be commissioned:
– The same NetID must be configured for all BLUETOOTH devices, and the BLUETOOTH devices must
be commissioned.
– The Speedwire devices must be connected to the Sunny Home Manager via a router/network switch
and must be commissioned.
– NetID 0 must be set for Speedwire devices with integrated BLUETOOTH interface.
☐ Devices which need to communicate with the Sunny Home Manager via a data exchange protocol must be
connected to the Sunny Home Manager in the local network via a router/network switch.
