3.2.4 Strength of Passwords
In order to increase the security of your password, note the following properties when selecting a
password:
• Use passwords with a minimum length of 8 characters. The longer the password, the more
secure it is.
• Do not use names or terms from dictionaries (for example: "Dog", "Cat", "Mouse", ...).
• Do not use data related to your person as passwords (for example names of persons or pets,
personal numbers or identification numbers, car license plates ...).
• Do not repeat names or terms (for example "househouse", "carcar", ...).
• Use a combination of upper and lower case letters, special characters and numbers.
• Do not use number and letter combinations which are consecutive on a keyboard (for example
"12345", "qwerty", ...).
3.2.5 SMA Grid Guard
SMA Grid Guard is a security concept for country-specific settings in the inverter, which determine the
network behavior within a power distribution grid. These settings (Grid Guard parameters) are pre-
installed in the devices and can only be changed with the SMA Grid Guard password. In order to
change SMA Grid Guard parameters, you will need to be logged in as an installer and you will need
your personal SMA Grid Guard password, which you can obtain from SMA Solar Technology. The
application form for the personal access code is located in the download area at
www.SMA-America.com, in the "Data sheet" category for each inverter.
