SAfETY pRECAUTIONS
%"/(&3
Danger to life due to high voltages in the inverter
Even when no external voltage is connected, there may still be high voltages present in the inverter.
• Do not open the inverter.
• Electrical installation, repair and retrofitting may only be carried out by a skilled person.
$"65*0/
Risk of burns due to hot enclosure parts
• During operation, only touch the lower enclosure lid and the display.
Yield loss due to poor heat dissipation
• Do not place any objects on the enclosure.

The power and energy of the inverter are displayed in the three fields: "
Power
", "
Day
" and "
Total
". The display is
updated every five seconds.
The power that the inverter is currently feeding into the electricity grid.
The energy fed into the electricity grid on this particular day. This
equals the energy generated from the inverter's start-up in the
morning to the current time.
The total energy that the inverter has fed into the electricity grid
during its entire operating time.
The display values may deviate from the actual values and must not be used as a basis for invoicing. The inverter's measured values are required for the operational control and to control the current to be fed into the electricity grid.
The power and energy of the inverter are displayed as diagrams. The daily
power graph is displayed by default. The right-hand flashing bar of the diagram
represents the current hour. If the inverter does not feed any power to the electricity
grid over a longer period of time (e.g. during the hours of darkness or if the PV
modules are covered with snow), a gap is inserted into the chart. The bar for the
current hour is updated automatically every five seconds.
After four seconds, the bar disappears for one second and then displays the
current value.
By tapping on the enclosure lid, you can alternate between displays, and the
graph will switch to show the energy yields of the last 16 days.
Green LED is on
The inverter is in operation.

The inverter has been identified via Sunny Explorer by activating the
"
Find device
" parameter.
The display updates the measured values of your PV plant every five seconds.
You can operate the display by tapping it:
Single tap: to activate the backlight, to scroll to the next text line, to switch
between the power graph of the past 16 feed-in hours and the energy
yields of the past 16 days.
Double tap: the display alternates automatically between the firmware
version, the serial number of the inverter, the Bluetooth NetID, the
configured country data set and display language.
