Selecting the Time Period Type "Load CAN be Switched On" or
"Load MUST be Switched On"
This setting determines whether the load will definitely be switched on during the time period or only
if certain conditions have been met.

4. Select [Configure time period].
5. If the load must definitely be switched on within the time period, select Load MUST be
switched on (default setting).
6. If the load is only to be switched on under certain conditions within the time period, select
Load CAN be switched on.
☑ The window Load will be switched on depending on opens.
7. Select the option Maximum permitted energy costs or the option Proportion of PV
energy and set the slider to the desired value (see Section Time Period Type "Load CAN be

Shorter electrical endurance of the SMA radio-controlled socket through the frequent
switching of loads
The more often the SMA radio-controlled socket switches loads on and off, the shorter is the
electrical endurance of the SMA radio-controlled socket.
• When setting time periods and device operating times, ensure that the
SMA radio-controlled socket does not have to switch loads on and off unnecessarily
(for the electrical endurance of the SMA radio-controlled socket, see Section "Technical
Data" in the installation manual of the Sunny Home Manager).
