7.1 Setting the MODE
The " MODE " rotary switch is set to the position " 0 " for delivery. Other positions are not permitted and
are intended for SMA Service only.
• If the " MODE " rotary switch is not set to the " 0 " position, turn the arrow on the " MODE " rotary
switch to " 0 " using a 2.5 mm screwdriver.
7.2 Setting the NetID
The NetID serves to distinguish PV plants with SMA
Bluetooth
operating in close proximity to one
another. All devices in one plant must have the same NetID. You can set the SMA Bluetooth Repeater
to the NetID of your plant using the " NetID " rotary switch.
• If you do not know the plant NetID, read off the NetID from one of the devices in the plant
(e.g. Sunny WebBox with
Bluetooth
or inverter with
Bluetooth
).
• Use a 2.5 mm screwdriver to turn the arrow of the " NetID " rotary switch to the plant NetID.
