the socket used for the Sunny Boy Control is not only on the same line (or at least on
the same phase) as the other devices. It should also be as close to them as possible.
In case the Sunny Boy Control and the other devices must be connected to different
phases, it may be necessary to install a phase coupler. Phase couplers are available
from SMA and must be installed on site by a qualified technician.
Further information on optimizing the installation is available in section 9.2.2.
If there are other Powerline communication users in your neighborhood, keep a close
eye on the device detection process to make sure that the Sunny Boy Control detects
only devices that are yours. Otherwise, the Sunny Boy Control can be left to run the
device detection automatically. In that case, all detected devices will be automati-
cally confirmed and registered after 60 seconds. After the device detection is com-
pleted, press [ESC] to exit (Fig. 2.7 ), then [ENTER] to confirm (Fig. 2.8).

trol is displayed as follows in sequence.
