Intended Use

The SMA Sensor Module is a module for SMA inverters. The SMA Sensor Module has different
interfaces for connecting various sensors. The SMA Sensor Module converts the signals of the
connected sensors and transmits them to the inverter.
The SMA Sensor Module has the following interfaces:
• Two temperature inputs for connecting the temperature sensors
• One analog input for voltage or current signals (e.g. of an irradiation sensor)
• One supply voltage for a signal source (e.g. of an irradiation sensor)
• One S0 interface (e.g. for connecting an anemometer or energy meter)
The SMA Sensor Module must only be installed in the following SMA inverters:
• STP 50-40 (Sunny Tripower CORE1)
The inverter still complies with the standard after the product has been installed.
The product must only be operated with temperature sensors with a Pt100 measuring shunt or a
Pt1000 measuring shunt.
The product must only be operated with irradiation sensors that can output a current signal in the
range from 0 mA to 20 mA or 4 mA to 20 mA or a voltage signal in the range from 0 V to +10 V.
The product must only be operated with anemometers with impulse output for S0 impulses in
accordance with DIN EN 62053-31 (IEC 62053-319).
The product must only be operated with energy meters with S0 interface in accordance with
DIN EN 62053-31 (IEC 62053-31).
