6.6 Communication
6.6.1 Bluetooth
Communication via Bluetooth with a communication product is activated by default. Networking with
other inverters via Bluetooth is deactivated by default.
The following setting options are possible via a rotary switch:
In order to restrict communication via Bluetooth between the inverters of your plant and those of
neighbouring plants, you can assign an individual NetID to the inverters of your plant (switch position
2 … F). However, this is only necessary if neighbouring plants are situated within a radius of 500 m.
So that all inverters in your plant are detected by your communication product, all inverters must have
the same NetID.

Plant password for user and installer
If you are using Bluetooth communication, you can protect the inverter with a plant password
for the user and a plant password for the installer. All inverters are delivered with the same
default plant password. To protect the plant from unauthorized access, you must change plant
passwords using a communication product.
If you are not using Bluetooth communication, deactivate it. This will protect your plant from
unauthorized access.
Changing the plant time
If communication is effected via Bluetooth and Sunny Explorer, you must change the plant time
(date and time) via a communication product after commissioning. This will prevent
disturbances when retrieving saved events.
