appropriate Usage
The RS485-Quick Module is provided as an upgrade kit or included in the scope of delivery of
the inverter.
The RS485-Quick Module is only suitable for use with SMA inverter of type Sunny Boy
2000HF/2500HF/3000HF. Please also observe the installation guide of the respective inverter.
The RS485-Quick Module is equipped with an RS485 interface and a multi-function relay. Via
the RS485 interface, you can establish a wired RS485 communication of the above mentioned
SMA inverter types.
The multi-function relay serves to connect or disconnect a fault indicator or external load,
depending on the power availability of the inverter. For the description of the functions of the
multi-function relay (as of firmware version 2.10) please refer to the Technical Description
“Multifunction Relay and OptiTrac Global Peak” at the download area www.SMA.de/en.
Safety Precautions
DanGER!
Electric shock caused by high voltages in the inverter.
• All work on the inverter may be carried out by qualified personnel only.
• Disconnect the inverter from both the DC and AC side, as described in the
inverter's installation guide.
notICE!
Electrostatic discharges can damage the RS485-Quick Module or the
inverter.
• Ground yourself before touching the component by touching PE or a grounded
object.
Cable length
You have to make sure that the cables are long enough for connecting the RS485-
Quick Module to the inverter. After connecting them, remember that the RS485-Quick
Module has to be pushed approx. 10 cm in the inverter (see "Mounting the Device").

Disassembly
1. Disconnect the inverter from both the DC and AC side, as described in the inverter's
installation guide. If a multi-function relay is connected, switch off the multi-function
relay power supply.
2.
Pull the integrated Quick Module out to the first
stopper.
3.
Press the Quick Module lightly forwards until the keys
pass through the openings of the bracket.
4.
Carefully take the Quick Module out of the bracket.
Mounting
Install the RS485-Quick Module carefully in the inverter.
1.
Put the RS485-Quick Module into the designated holes
on the bracket.
2.
Push the RS485-Quick Module upwards in the guide
slot until it clicks into place.
3.
Check that the RS485-Quick Module is securely in
place. The loops of the RS485-Quick Module and the
bracket must be positioned flush on top of each other.
4.
Mechanical fuse:
You can fix the RS485-Quick Module with cable ties
to prevent someone that someone accidentally takes it
out. There are two loops on top of each other. Guide
the cable ties through these loops and tighten them.
☑ The RS485-Quick Module is mounted.
