Electrostatic discharges are an acute danger to the Sunny Mini Central and to the
communications interface. Ground yourself by touching PE or a non-coated part
of the housing before removing the communication interface from the packaging,
and before touching any components within the Sunny Mini Central.
Read the communication device manual before beginning installation work.
Further wiring details can be found there.
