6 Configuration
The Sunny Island will be used especially in those island grids which are modularly
structured. The more complex such an island grid is, the higher the number of set-
tings to be made at the Sunny Island to achieve optimum operating behavior.
The Sunny Island has to be configured with special care. Both the
Sunny Island and the other connected components of the plant can
be damaged due to incorrect or missing settings! Therefore the
Sunny Island always has to be configured by the installer or another
qualified person.
To make the process clear we distinguish between the following three reasons for
configuration:
1. The Sunny Island has never before been adjusted to the plant where it is in-
stalled now. This is the case if it is newly installed or if many components are
removed from or added to the plant at the same time.
In this case a basic configuration has to be made first via the menu item “New
System“ in the “INIT“ (0-0) menu after the Sunny Island has been switched on.
This includes the required settings for the connected battery.
2. The lead-acid battery connected to the Sunny Island has been replaced or
modified.
In this case a basic configuration has to be made first via the menu item “New
Battery“ in the “INIT“ (0-0) menu after the Sunny Island has been switched on.
3. The Sunny Island has already been configured. For optimized operation some
settings are to be changed.
This can be done in the corresponding menus practically any time. Normally
the password for “level: 1“ (installer) has to be entered in the “PASSWD“ (3-2)
menu.
