3.2.1 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 necessary before the inverter
is connected to the AC utility utility grid and feed-in
operation begins.
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 / SMA Digital I/O Box / LCS Tool).
After installation, check all cables and close the inverter.
Turn on AC power.
3.2.2 Switching on the PV
Load-Break Switch
Figure 3.2. PV load-break switch
Switch on the PV load-break switch at the inverter and,
if available, at the PV array junction box.
3.2.3 Commissioning
The inverter starts automatically if sufficient solar irradiation
is available. Commissioning takes a few minutes. During this
period, the inverter performs a self-test.
3.2.4 Grid Code File
Selecting the correct grid code is important in order to
comply with the local and national standards.
It is possible to create customer-specific grid code files
with adjusted set values (see Section 3.2.4).
INFORMATION
The inverter is protected against short-term reverse
polarity. The inverter does not generate feed-in
power until any reverse polarity is corrected.
Prolonged reverse polarity leads to a failure of the inverter
and thus will void the warranty.
• Make sure that the cables are correctly connected to
the inverter.
INFORMATION
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.
