Check if the SMA Power Balancer operates correctly:
1. Select the "PhaseGuard" setting of the
"PowerBalancer" parameter for all three inverters.
2. Check whether all inverters in the group are feeding
the grid normally.
☑ If the green LED lights up steadily or if the 
following display message appears, proceed 
with point 3.
or
☑ If all inverters in this group show the adjacent 
display message: Check the installation of the 
SMA Power Balancer and contact the SMA 
Serviceline if necessary.
3. Switch off the line circuit breaker for one of the
three inverters.
☑ The inverter with a deactivated line circuit 
breaker indicates a grid voltage showing 
following display message ("Bfr" and "Srr" are 
irrelevant).
☑ The remaining inverters then also disconnect
from the grid showing following display 
message.
☑ Both inverters subsequently switch to
"Balanced" mode.
☑ If the inverters react as described above, the
functionality test has been completed successfully. 
Otherwise, check the configuration.
4. If applicable, reset the "PowerBalancer" parameter
to the desired setting in all inverters.
5. Switch on the line circuit breaker again.
