Page 13: Mounting The Antenna
4 Mounting SMA Solar Technology America LLC The mounting location of the antenna is crucial for the quality of the wireless connection. Radio waves are emitted in circles from the longitudinal side of the antenna. A circular dead spot begins at the tip of the antenna. If you place the receiver in this dead spot, the receiver cannot receive any radio waves from the antenna. - Page 14 4 Mounting SMA Solar Technology America LLC Procedure: Danger to life due to high voltages of the PV array When exposed to sunlight, the PV array generates dangerous direct voltage. Touching the DC conductors can lead to lethal electric shocks. Even if the DC load-break switch of the inverter is in the O, position, there will be dangerous direct voltage present in the DC conductors and on the DC-in connecting terminal plate in the Connection Unit of the inverter.
- Page 15 4 Mounting SMA Solar Technology America LLC • Press the multi-hole seal out of the cable gland from the inside. • Route the antenna cable with the cable end with the plug through the swivel nut and the desired hole of the multi- hole seal.
- Page 16 4 Mounting SMA Solar Technology America LLC • Lead the antenna cable plug from the antenna bracket’s slot. In doing so, make sure that the washer and the counter nut are on the outside of the antenna bracket and that the antenna cable is not kinked or twisted.
