SMA SUNNY TRIPOWER X 12 Notice Résumée page 7

SMA Solar Technology AG
NOTICE
Damage to the inverter due to
electrostatic discharge
Touching electronic components can cause damage
to or destroy the inverter through electrostatic
discharge.
• Ground yourself before touching any
component.
NOTICE
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).
NOTICE
High costs due to inappropriate Internet
tariff
Depending on use, the data volume of the product
transferred via the Internet may vary in size. The
data volume depends, for example, on the number
of devices in the system, the frequency of device
updates, the frequency of data transfer to
Sunny Portal or the use of FTP push. High costs for
the Internet connection can be the result.
• SMA Solar Technology AG recommends
using an Internet flat rate.
NOTICE
Damage to the product due to cleaning
agents
The use of cleaning agents may cause damage to
the product and its components.
• Clean the product and all its components only
with a cloth moistened with clear water.
Communication disturbances in the
local network
The IP address range 192.168.12.0 to
192.168.12.255 is occupied for communication
amongst SMA products and for direct access to SMA
products.
Communication problems might occur if this IP
address range is used in the local network.
• Do not use the IP address range 192.168.12.0
to 192.168.12.255 in the local network.
Quick Reference Guide
DHCP Server is recommended
The DCHP server automatically assigns the
appropriate network settings to your nodes in the
local network. A manual network configuration is
therefore not necessary. In a local network, the
Internet router is usually the DHCP server. If the IP
addresses in the local network are to be assigned
dynamically, DHCP must be activated in the Internet
router (see the Internet router manual). In order to
receive the same IP address by the internet router
after a restart, set the MAC address binding.
In networks where no DHCP server is active, proper
IP addresses must be assigned from the free address
pool of the network segment to all network
participants to be integrated during commissioning.
A country data set must be set for
feed-in operation
A country data set must be set (e.g. via the product
commissioning wizard or a System Manager) in
order for the inverter to start feed-in operation during
commissioning.
If no country data set is set, then feed-in operation
will be stopped. This state is signaled by the green
and red LEDs flashing simultaneously.
The inverter will automatically start feed-in operation
only after the inverter configuration is completed.
The country data set must be set
correctly.
If you select a country data set which is not valid for
your country and purpose, it can cause a disturbance
in the PV system and lead to problems with the grid
operator. When selecting the country data set, you
must always observe the locally applicable standards
and directives as well as the properties of the PV
system (e.g. PV system size, grid-connection point).
• If you are not sure which standards and
directives are valid for your country or purpose,
contact the grid operator.
