6 Configuration of the Inverter
6.7

Saving the Configuration in a File

You can save the current configuration of the inverter in a file. You can use this file as a data
backup for this inverter and then import this file into this inverter again or another inverter to
configure the inverter. When saving, only the device parameters will be saved, not any passwords.
Procedure:
1. Activate the user interface (see Section 5.1, page 20).
2. Log into the user interface (see Section 5.2, page 23).
3. Select the menu System Configuration.
4. Select [Settings].
5. In the context menu, select [Saving the configuration in a file].
6. Follow the instructions in the dialog.

Adopting a Configuration from a File

To configure the inverter, you can adopt the configuration from a file. To be able to do this, you
must first save the configuration of another inverter in a file (see Section 6.7 "Saving the
Configuration in a File", page 34). When saving, only the device parameters will be adopted, not
any passwords.
Requirements:
☐ The SMA Grid Guard code must be available (see "Application for SMA Grid Guard Code"
at www.SMA-Solar.com).
☐ Changes to grid-relevant parameters must be approved by the responsible grid operator.
Procedure:
1. Activate the user interface (see Section 5.1, page 20).
2. Log into the user interface as an Installer.
3. Select the menu System Configuration.
4. Select [Settings].
5. In the context menu, select [Adopting the configuration from a file].
6. Follow the instructions in the dialog.

Switching the Dynamic Power Display Off

As standard, the inverter signals its power dynamically via the pulsing of the green LED. When
doing so, the LED flashes on and off uniformly or is permanently lit at full power. The various
gradations are related here to the set active power limit of the inverter. If this display is not desired,
switch this function off in accordance with the following procedure. Once this has been done, the
green LED is lit permanently to signalize feed-in operation.
The basic procedure for changing operating parameters is explained in another section (see
Section 6.1 "Changing Operating Parameters", page 30).
