User Manual

A confirmation prompt appears, asking whether you really want to delete the device
from the Sunny Boy Control and from Sunny Data Control.

5.

Click on to delete the device. Click on to cancel the procedure.
If you confirm the prompt with Yes, Sunny Data Control replaces the old device in
the Sunny Boy Control with the new device. Sunny Data Control then attempts to
establish a connection to the new device, and to query the device type.

6.

Wait until Sunny Data Control has successfully queried the device type. This may
take some time.
If the device type query cancels with an error message, you may have to repeat
the device type update later (see section 13.1. 1 „Updating the Device Type”
(page 170)).
The device is assigned the temporary type name "??? + serial number". It is possi-
ble that during device replacement, the added device was temporarily unreach-
able, and the device type could thus not be ascertained.

Common Causes of Error

Incorrect serial number typed in (see name plate)

Device is not active
