  • Page 16 6 Connection SMA Solar Technology AG ☐ The connection cable must be prepared for connection to the multipole plug (see Section 6.2 "Preparing the Connection Cable", page 13). ☐ The connection cable must be inserted through the cable gland into the inverter (see Section 6.3 "Inserting the Cables", page 13).
  • Page 17: Changing The Operating Mode Of The Multifunction Relay

    For inverters with an internal multifunction relay on the communication module and an additional multifunction relay on an SMA I/O module, the operating mode can be changed separately for each multifunction relay. The parameters of the internal multifunction relay are marked with [A] on the inverter user interface. The parameters of the multifunction relay on the SMA I/O module are marked with [B].
  • Page 18: Decommissioning

    Sand, dust and moisture penetration can damage the product and impair its functionality. Procedure: 1. Disconnect the inverter from voltage sources (at www.SMA-Solar.com). 2. Remove the enclosure lid of the DC Connection Unit. Unscrew all screws with a Torx screwdriver (TX25) and remove the enclosure lid carefully forward.
