7 Commissioning
7.1 Closing the Installation Area
The inverter starts up automatically. The battery is activated
.via the SMA Inverter Manager Commissioning takes a few
minutes. During this period, the inverter performs a self-test.
Procedure:
1. Ensure that all cables at the inverter are correctly
connected.
2. Close the cover of the inverter installation area. Fasten
the three front screws (see Section 11.4, page 49).
7.2 Switching on the DC
Load-Break Switch
Figure 3.2. DC load-break switch
Procedure:
• Switch on the DC load-break switch on the inverter.
7.3 Initial Setup via LCS-Tool
The inverter and the SMA inverter manager must be
commissioned via the local commissioning and service tool
(LCS-Tool). Commissioning is required prior to turning on the
alternating current.
The LCS too enables the selection of predefined country
data sets for different utility grids. Customer-specific country
data sets can be provided by SMA and imported via the
LCS tool (see installation manual of the SMA Inverter
Manager / LCS Tool).
7.4 Grid Code File
If the desired grid code is not available, or if the LCS-Tool
displays a warning about incompatible software versions,
the grid code and software library must be updated on the
LCS-Tool.
• It is possible to create customer-specific grid code files
with adjusted set values. For this purpose, please
contact SMA Technology AG.
7.5 Turning on the Alternating
Current
Requirements:
• The installation area is closed (see
• The DC load-break switch is switched on (see
Procedure:
• Switch on the AC miniature circuit breaker of all 3 line
conductors.
INFORMATION
The inverter is protected against short-term reverse
polarity. The inverter is only feeding in if there is no
reverse polarity.
Switching on the DC load-break switch at the same time
as the battery results in irreparable defects of the inverter
and will void the warranty.
• Ensure that the battery is switched off before
activating the load-break switch.
INFORMATION
Selecting the correct grid code is important in order
to comply with the local and national standards.
