same type or device family to configure the inverter. When saving, only the device parameters will
be saved, not any passwords.

2. Log into the user interface (see Section 8.2, page 54).
3. Select the menu Device Configuration.

parameters will be adopted, not any passwords.
Requirements:
☐ Changes to grid-relevant parameters must be approved by the responsible grid operator.

at www.SMA-Solar.com).
Procedure:
1. Open the user interface (see Section 8.1, page 50).
2. Log into the user interface as an Installer (see Section 8.2, page 54).
