Sunny SensorBox
The Sunny SensorBox is a device designed to provide sensor data for SMA communication products
via the RS485 Power Injector or the SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth.
The Sunny SensorBox may only be used for the purposes described in this manual. This also applies
to individual components such as the RS485 Power Injector or SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth.
The device is suitable for both private and industrial use. The Sunny SensorBox may only be used in
areas defined in the technical specifications.
Only use the original accessories of SMA Solar Technology AG or accessories recommended by
SMA Solar Technology AG.
Be sure to carefully read the entire manual before starting up the Sunny SensorBox. Store this manual
where it can be accessed at all times.
RS485 Power Injector
The RS485 Power Injector is used to integrate the Sunny SensorBox into the RS485 communication
bus. The RS485 Power Injector also supplies the Sunny SensorBox with power. A single RS485 Power
Injector can power up to five Sunny SensorBoxes.
Up to 50 bus nodes, including the Sunny SensorBox, can be added to an RS485 communication bus.
The RS485 Power Injector supports the following communication products:
• Sunny WebBox
• Sunny Boy Control/Plus with Sunny SensorBox hardware version B2 or higher
• Sunny Data Control
The RS485 Power Injector is intended for indoor installation. All electrical connections are to be
carried out by qualified personnel exclusively.
SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth
The SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth is used to integrate the Sunny SensorBox into an SMA
Bluetooth network. The Sunny SensorBox supplies measurement data and various parameters to the
SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth. The device then sends the data to the SMA communication
products over the SMA Bluetooth network. The SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth can be used to
bridge gaps in the SMA Bluetooth network, which can also be done using the SMA Bluetooth
Repeater. The SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth also supplies the Sunny SensorBox with power. You
can only operate one Sunny SensorBox with the SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth.
However, you can add multiple SMA Power Injectors with Bluetooth to an SMA Bluetooth network
and have each one connected to a separate Sunny SensorBox. An SMA Bluetooth network can
accommodate the following number of nodes:
