Route the network cable plugs into the inverter to the network sockets. 7. Push the seal into the cable gland. Make sure that any unused cable openings are sealed with filler-plugs.
6 Commissioning Commissioning 6.1 Commissioning the Plant Requirements: The Webconnect Data Module must be installed in the inverter (see Section 5.3 "Installing the Webconnect Data Module in the Inverter", page 15). The Webconnect Data Module must be connected (see 5.4 "Connecting the Webconnect Data Module", page 17).
6 Commissioning SMA Solar Technology AG 6.2.2 Connection to Sunny Explorer Requirements: The plant must be commissioned (see Section 6.1 "Commissioning the Plant", page 19). 1. Connect the computer to the plant router with a network cable. 2. Start Sunny Explorer and create plant (see Sunny Explorer user manual).
Sunny WebBox, you will still need to create a separate plant with Webconnect Data Module. It is not possible to combine the Webconnect Data Module and other communication devices within one plant in Sunny Portal. Sunny Portal treats the existing plant and the new plant with Webconnect Data Module as independent plants.
7. Unscrew the counter nut of the cable gland. 8. Pull the cable gland and network cables out of the inverter. 9. Release the screw of the Webconnect Data Module and remove it. 10. Flip down the display and fasten the display screw hand-tight.
