6.1.1 Requirements for the mounting location
CAUTION
Overvoltage in case of lightning strike.
Fire and damage to connected devices will result.
• Integrate the Sunny SensorBox into the lightning protection system.
Mount the Sunny SensorBox either on the mounting rails of the PV mounting system or on rafters.
Observe the following information concerning the mounting location of the Sunny SensorBox:
• The Sunny SensorBox is suitable for outdoor installation.
• The ambient temperature must remain between − 13 °F and +158 °F ( − 25 °C and +70 °C).
• If you want to use the integrated solar radiation sensor, make sure the Sunny SensorBox is
mounted at the same tilt angle and orientation as the PV module so that the sensor readings you
obtain can be directly compared to the yield of the PV system.
• Which mounting location to choose depends on which sensors are used. Observe the cable
lengths specified in the sensor manual.
• The maximum cable length from the final Sunny SensorBox to the RS485 Power Injector is
490 ft. (150 m).
• The maximum cable length from the Sunny SensorBox to the SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth
is 490 ft. (150 m).
