SMA Solar Technology AG 4 Mounting 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.

4 Mounting SMA Solar Technology AG Procedure: DANGER Danger to life due to high voltages of the PV array When exposed to sunlight, the PV array generates dangerous DC voltage, which is present in the DC conductors and the live components of the inverter. Touching the DC conductors or the live components can lead to lethal electric shocks.

SMA Solar Technology AG 4 Mounting • Hand-tighten the antenna on the antenna extension cable plug. DANGER Danger to life due to electric shock from touching an ungrounded product Touching an ungrounded product can cause a lethal electric shock. • Ensure that the product is integrated in the existing overvoltage protection.
If the value External Antenna is not set, set the antenna type (see inverter manual). • Ensure that the antenna of type “EXTANT-US-40” is installed correctly and that only the supplied antenna cable was used. • Ensure that the receiver is not placed in the dead spot .
