1.1 Operation Requirements
You will need the following to operate the Sunny Boy Control.
•
An electric socket
•
A power supply with a frequency of 50/60 Hz and a voltage of
− 110 … 120 V (for UL devices) or rather
−
110 … 240 V (for all versions other than UL)
•
For Powerline communication: a Powerline modem for each Sunny Boy
It is not normally possible to operate Powerline communication with a
Sunny Boy Control at the same time as other devices that also use the
power lines for data transmission but do not comply with the standard-
ized transmission protocol, such as baby monitors. In this case, data
transmission using a separate RS485 cable is required.
The following safety measures must be taken to operate the Sunny Boy
Control.
1. The power outlet must be grounded.
2. The power plug has to be accessible at all times.
3. The operating environment of the device must be dry and dust-
free.
