SMA Sensorbox Quick Reference Guide - Manual

You need the following material from the packaging:
1x Sunny SensorBox 1x insulating hose 1x terminal
Mounting plate
1x mounting plate 4x M4 hexagon socket screws
Injuries
Lethal voltages are present in the conductive parts of the RS485-Power Injector, the SMA Power Injector with
Bluetooth and the plug-in power supply.
• Never open the RS485-Power Injector, the SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth or the plug-in power supply.
• Only operate the RS485-Power Injector and SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth within their designated
voltage range.
Falling from the roof can lead to death or serious injury.
• Always take special safety measures when working on roofs.
Tripping over incorrectly routed cables can cause injuries.
• Install the cabling in such a way that no-one can stand on or trip over it.
Device damage
By touching electronic components you can damage or destroy the device through electrostatic discharge (ESD).
• Do not touch component connections and plug contacts unnecessarily.
• Earth yourself before working on the device.
Lightning strikes can damage the Sunny SensorBox.
• Integrate the Sunny SensorBox into the existing lightning protection system.
Entry of liquids can damage the Sunny SensorBox.
• Ensure that no fluids (e.g. rain or snow) enter the open Sunny SensorBox.
Validity
This manual is valid for the Sunny SensorBox with firmware version 1.51 or higher and hardware version C1.
Target Audience
This manual is intended for skilled persons. Only qualified personnel are allowed to perform the tasks set forth in
this manual. Skilled persons must have the following qualifications:
• Training in the installation and commissioning of electrical devices
• Knowledge of all applicable standards and guidelines
Intended Use
For safety reasons, it is not permitted to modify the product or install components that are not explicitly
recommended or distributed by SMA Solar Technology AG.
Only use the Sunny SensorBox in accordance with the information provided in the enclosed documentation. Any
other use can result in personal injury or property damage.
Sunny SensorBox
The Sunny SensorBox is a device designed to provide sensor data for SMA communication products via the
RS485-Power Injector or the SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth ® Wireless Technology.
RS485-Power Injector
The Sunny SensorBox is integrated into the RS485 communication bus via the RS485-Power Injector. The
RS485-Power Injector serves as a voltage supply for the Sunny SensorBox.
The RS485-Power Injector is only suitable for indoor mounting.
SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth
The SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth supplies voltage to max. 1 Sunny SensorBox.
The SMA Power Injector withBluetooth integrates the Sunny SensorBox in an SMA Bluetooth network and sends
measurements and various operating parameters from the Sunny SensorBox to SMA communication products in
your plant. You can also use the SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth to bridge dead zones in the SMA Bluetooth
network of your plant.
The SMA Power Injector withBluetooth is intended exclusively for indoor mounting.
Closing the Sunny SensorBox
1. Before closing the Sunny SensorBox, check the enclosure seal. If the enclosure seal of the Sunny SensorBox
has become porous over time, replace the enclosure seal (see the Sunny SensorBox installation manual on
the enclosed CD).
2. Close the enclosure lid of the Sunny SensorBox on the lower enclosure shell.
3. Turn the screws of the enclosure lid a little to the left, until the screws fall into the first turn of the thread.
4. Tighten the screws hand-tight into the lower enclosure shell (torque: 1 Nm) and close the lateral flaps of the
Sunny SensorBox.
Opening the Sunny SensorBox
1. Open the lateral flaps using the recesses and loose the screws in
the corners of the Sunny SensorBox. The screws are secured in
the enclosure of the Sunny SensorBox and cannot be removed
completely.
2. Open the enclosure lid up towards the left. The enclosure lid is
connected to the enclosure shell by hooks.
Supplementary installation material (not included in the scope of delivery):
□ 2 suitable screws and sliding blocks by the manufacturer of the PV mounting system
□ 2 RS485 data cables (second cable only if installed via RS485-Power Injector)
Requirements for the mounting location:
□ The ambient temperature at the mounting location must be between ‒25°C and +70°C.
□ The mounting location must be selected in accordance with the sensors used. Observe the prescribed cable
length (see the sensor manual).
□ The maximum cable length from the last Sunny SensorBox to the RS485-Power Injector or
SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth may not exceed 150 m.
□ For mounting on the PV mounting system, the mounting rail must protrude 160 mm at the sides under the
modules. If the mounting rail is too short, the Sunny SensorBox must be mounted on the rafters. To do so, you
need the roof brackets available as accessories.
□ If you decide to use the integrated irradiation sensor, ensure that the Sunny SensorBox is mounted at the
same tilt angle and orientation as the PV modules.
