8.4

Changing Operating Parameters

By default, the inverter is set to a specific country data set. You can find the country data set to which
the inverter has been set on the enclosed supplementary sheet with the default settings or on the type
label. Each country data set contains various operating parameters, which are individually set
according to the given country data set. You can change the parameters after commissioning with a
communication product (e.g. Sunny Explorer) (information on operating parameters and country data
sets can be found at www.SMA-Solar.com).
Requirements:
☐ A communication product corresponding to the type of communication used must be available.
☐ The changes to the grid-relevant operating parameters must be approved by the responsible
grid operator.
☐ SMA Grid Guard code for changing network relevant parameters must be available
(see certificate "Application for SMA Grid Guard Code" at www.SMA-Solar.com).
Procedure:
1. Access the user interface of the communication product.
2. If necessary, enter the SMA Grid Guard code.
3. Select and set the desired parameter.
4. Save the setting.

Activating and Setting SMA OptiTrac Global Peak

For partially shaded PV modules, you should activate SMA OptiTrac Global Peak and set the interval
at which the inverter optimizes the MPP of the PV system.
The basic procedure for changing operating parameters is explained in another section
2. Absatz_OptiTrac Global Peak_Querverweis zu Betriebsparameter ändern STP US
(see section 8.4, page 42).
Procedure:
1. Select the parameter OptiTrac Global Peak switched on or MPPShdw.IsOn and set to On.
2. Select the parameter Cycle time of the OptiTrac Global Peak algorithm or
MPPShdw.CycTms and set the required time interval. The ideal time interval is usually
six minutes. This value should only be increased if the shading situation changes extremely
slowly.
☑ The inverter optimizes the MPP of the PV system at the predetermined time interval.
