SMA Solar Technology AG
Risk of burns due to hot enclosure parts
Some parts of the enclosure can get hot during operation. Touching hot enclosure parts can
result in burn injuries.
• Do not touch the enclosure during operation.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment.
Damage to the product due to condensation
If the product is moved from a cold environment to a warm environment, condensation may form
in the product. This can damage the product or impair its functionality.
• When there are large temperature differences, wait until the product has reached room
temperature to connect the voltage supply.
• Make sure the product is dry.
Manipulation of system data in networks
You can connect the supported SMA products to the Internet. When connected to the Internet,
there is a risk that unauthorized users can access and manipulate the data of your system.
• Set up a firewall.
• Close unnecessary network ports.
• If absolutely necessary, only enable remote access via a virtual private network (VPN).
• Do not use the port forwarding feature. This also applies to the used Modbus ports.
• Disconnect system components from other network components (network segmentation).
Failure and damage of product and system by interrupting the supply voltage
If the supply voltage of the product is interrupted during operation or a firmware update, a
failure of the product or the entire system may occur. This may result in loss of external setpoints
and a non-permitted starting behavior of the system. In addition, the device can be irreversibly
damaged.
• Ensure that the supply voltage of the product is never interrupted during operation. To do
this, use an uninterruptible power supply with 7 minutes bridging time.
Electrical installations (for North America)
All installations must conform with the laws, regulations, codes and standards applicable in the
jurisdiction of installation (e.g. National Electrical Code
®
Electrical Code
CSA-C22.1.).
• Before connecting the product to the utility grid, contact your local grid operator. The
electrical connection of the product must be carried out by qualified persons only.
• Ensure that the cables or conductors used for electrical connection are not damaged.
