NOTICE!
Risk of short circuit due to metal or cable scraps falling into the Sunny SensorBox during
installation.
Possible damage of the electronics of the Sunny SensorBox.
• When working on the cable, make sure that no metal scraps of the shield or the cable
fall into the open Sunny SensorBox.
• Remove any metal or cable scraps, if required.
14. Remove 1.6 in cable sleeve of the RS485
communication cable on the Sunny SensorBox.
15. Strip approx. 0.2 in. off the insulated conductors.
16. Twist the shield to one string. The shield is only
required, if another Sunny SensorBox is connected.
17. Pull the insulating tube provided over the shield.
Allow 0.4 in. of the shield to protrude out of the insulating tube.
