Sma Sensorbox Quick Reference Guide User Manual download pdf

You need the following material from the packaging:

1x Sunny SensorBox 1x insulating hose 1x terminal

Mounting plate

1x mounting plate 4x M4 hexagon socket screws

Injuries

Lethal voltages are present in the conductive parts of the RS485-Power Injector, the SMA Power Injector with

Bluetooth and the plug-in power supply.

• Never open the RS485-Power Injector, the SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth or the plug-in power supply.

• Only operate the RS485-Power Injector and SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth within their designated

voltage range.

Falling from the roof can lead to death or serious injury.

• Always take special safety measures when working on roofs.

Tripping over incorrectly routed cables can cause injuries.

• Install the cabling in such a way that no-one can stand on or trip over it.

Device damage

By touching electronic components you can damage or destroy the device through electrostatic discharge (ESD).

• Do not touch component connections and plug contacts unnecessarily.

• Earth yourself before working on the device.

Lightning strikes can damage the Sunny SensorBox.

• Integrate the Sunny SensorBox into the existing lightning protection system.

Entry of liquids can damage the Sunny SensorBox.

• Ensure that no fluids (e.g. rain or snow) enter the open Sunny SensorBox.

Validity

This manual is valid for the Sunny SensorBox with firmware version 1.51 or higher and hardware version C1.

Target Audience

This manual is intended for skilled persons. Only qualified personnel are allowed to perform the tasks set forth in

this manual. Skilled persons must have the following qualifications:

• Training in the installation and commissioning of electrical devices

• Knowledge of all applicable standards and guidelines

Intended Use

For safety reasons, it is not permitted to modify the product or install components that are not explicitly

recommended or distributed by SMA Solar Technology AG.

Only use the Sunny SensorBox in accordance with the information provided in the enclosed documentation. Any

other use can result in personal injury or property damage.

Sunny SensorBox

The Sunny SensorBox is a device designed to provide sensor data for SMA communication products via the

RS485-Power Injector or the SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth

Wireless Technology.

RS485-Power Injector

The Sunny SensorBox is integrated into the RS485 communication bus via the RS485-Power Injector. The

RS485-Power Injector serves as a voltage supply for the Sunny SensorBox.

The RS485-Power Injector is only suitable for indoor mounting.

SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth

The SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth supplies voltage to max. 1 Sunny SensorBox.

The SMA Power Injector withBluetooth integrates the Sunny SensorBox in an SMA Bluetooth network and sends

measurements and various operating parameters from the Sunny SensorBox to SMA communication products in

your plant. You can also use the SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth to bridge dead zones in the SMA Bluetooth

network of your plant.

The SMA Power Injector withBluetooth is intended exclusively for indoor mounting.

Closing the Sunny SensorBox

1. BeforeclosingtheSunnySensorBox,checktheenclosureseal.IftheenclosuresealoftheSunnySensorBox

has become porous over time, replace the enclosure seal (see the Sunny SensorBox installation manual on

the enclosed CD).

2. Close the enclosure lid of the Sunny SensorBox on the lower enclosure shell.

3. Turn the screws of the enclosure lid a little to the left, until the screws fall into the first turn of the thread.

4. Tighten the screws hand-tight into the lower enclosure shell (torque: 1 Nm) and close the lateral flaps of the

SunnySensorBox.

Opening the Sunny SensorBox

1. Open the lateral flaps using the recesses and loose the screws in

thecornersoftheSunnySensorBox.Thescrewsaresecuredin

the enclosure of the Sunny SensorBox and cannot be removed

completely.

2. Open the enclosure lid up towards the left. The enclosure lid is

connected to the enclosure shell by hooks.

Supplementary installation material (not included in the scope of delivery):

□ 2 suitable screws and sliding blocks by the manufacturer of the PV mounting system

□ 2 RS485 data cables (second cable only if installed via RS485-Power Injector)

Requirements for the mounting location:

□ Theambienttemperatureatthemountinglocationmustbebetween‒25°Cand+70°C.

□ The mounting location must be selected in accordance with the sensors used. Observe the prescribed cable

length (see the sensor manual).

□ The maximum cable length from the last Sunny SensorBox to the RS485-Power Injector or

SMAPowerInjectorwithBluetoothmaynotexceed150m.

□ FormountingonthePVmountingsystem,themountingrailmustprotrude160mmatthesidesunderthe

modules. If the mounting rail is too short, the Sunny SensorBox must be mounted on the rafters. To do so, you

need the roof brackets available as accessories.

□ If you decide to use the integrated irradiation sensor, ensure that the Sunny SensorBox is mounted at the

same tilt angle and orientation as the PV modules.
