Installation Manual
Determining the Mounting Location
Determine the mounting location by varying the distance between the Bluetooth Repeater Outdoor
and devices with a critical connection signal until all devices display at least a "good" signal.
Requirements:
☐ The rotary switch MODE is at position 0 (see Section 7.1 "Setting the MODE", page 23).
☐ The rotary switch NetID is set to the NetID of the plant (see Section 7.2 "Setting the NetID",
1. Decommission the plant (see the manual of the inverter and of the communication product).
Thus, you ensure that the Bluetooth Repeater Outdoor is integrated into the SMA Bluetooth
network at the point where the dead zone is, thus improving the Bluetooth connection at that
point.
2. Position the Bluetooth Repeater Outdoor half way between the devices with critical connection
quality.
3. Connect the voltage supply (see Section 6 "Electrical Connection", page 19).
4. Recommission the plant (see the installation manual of the inverter and of the communication
product).
5. Repeat the plant search with the communication device (see the communication product
manual, e.g. Sunny Beam with Bluetooth, Sunny Explorer).
Danger to life due to electric shock when opening the inverter
Lethal voltages are present in the conductive parts of the inverter.
• Prior to performing any work on the inverter, disconnect the inverter from any voltage sources
on the AC and DC sides (see inverter installation manual). Observe the waiting time to allow
the capacitors to discharge.
