Initial Setup and Start
NOTICE
If the 2 grid code selections do not match, they will be
cancelled and it will be necessary to repeat this step. If
an incorrect grid code is accidentally accepted at the
first selection, simply accept the "Grid: Undefined" in the
confirm grid code screen. This cancels the grid code
selection and enables a new selection.
NOTICE
Access on security level 2 is granted for 5 hours after
setup completion. Logout must be performed before
leaving the site. If an incorrect grid code is selected
twice, it can be changed within the 5 hours. Access on a
higher level is possible by locking the configuration and
logging on again using a 24-hour password. Only
authorised personnel is allowed to configure the
inverter. Changes will be logged and SMA Solar
Technology AG accepts no liability for damage caused by
changing the inverter configuration.
