Extending the Bluetooth Network with the SMA Bluetooth Repeater
The SMA Bluetooth Repeater can help you extend the wireless range of your Bluetooth network.
When an SMA Bluetooth Repeater is set up at the coverage boundary of a Bluetooth network, it is
capable of routing the data traffic in that network into its own wireless range. This technology allows
you to set up Bluetooth networks that cover a much larger area than would be possible with just the
Sunny SensorBox or SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth.
Further information about SMA Bluetooth Wireless Technology can be found in the download section
at www.SMA.de/en.
6.4.3 Determining the Mounting/Installation Location
Before mounting the SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth, you should first test the wireless connection
between the device and your PV system at the specified mounting/installation location. The Sunny
SensorBox does not have to be connected to the SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth in order to
perform this test.
To do so, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the "MODE" rotary switch of the
SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth to position "3".
The sole purpose of this position is to determine the
location of installation.
2. Turn the "NetID" rotary switch of the SMA Power
Injector with Bluetooth to the NetID of your PV
system. If your PV system does not have a NetID
yet, see section 6.4.2 ”Information on SMA
Bluetooth” (page 30).
