Symbols on the Inverter

Inverter

This symbol defines the function of the green LED. The green LED 

indicates the operating state of the inverter.

Observe the 

documentation

This symbol defines the function of the red LED. The red LED 

indicates a fault. If the red LED lights up, contact your installer.

Bluetooth

This symbol defines the function of the blue LED. The blue LED 

indicates that communication via 

Bluetooth

 is activated.

QR-Code

®

*

By scanning this code, the solar power professional installing the 

inverter can register the inverter and take part in the SMA bonus 

programme.

Danger

There are special requirements for earthing.

Symbols on the Type Label

Danger to life due to 

high voltages

The inverter operates at high voltages. All work on the inverter 

must be carried out by skilled persons only.

Risk of burns due to 

hot surfaces

The inverter can become hot during operation. Avoid contact 

during operation.

Observe the 

documentation

Observe all documentation that is supplied with the inverter.

DC

Direct current

Without transformer

The inverter does not have a transformer.

AC

Three-phase alternating current with neutral conductor

Proper disposal

Do not dispose of the inverter together with the household waste.

CE marking

The inverter complies with the requirements of the applicable EC 

directives.

Device class ID

The inverter is equipped with a wireless component and complies 

with device class 2.

GLOSSARY

Bluetooth*

Bluetooth

 is a radio technology that allows the inverter and other communication devices to communicate with 

each other. For Bluetooth communication, the 

Bluetooth

 devices do not need to be within sight of each other.

DC switch-disconnector

The DC switch-disconnector enables the inverter to be safely disconnected from the PV array. The DC switch-

disconnector may be operated by skilled persons only.

Energy

Energy is the power which a system can supply or consume within a certain time unit. Energy is measured in Wh 

(watt hours). If, for instance, your inverter feeds in for half an hour at 3,000 W and half an hour at 2,000 W, it 

will have fed a total of 2,500 Wh into the electricity grid.

Multi-function relay

The multi-function relay is an optional accessory to the inverter. The multi-function relay acts as an interface for 

managing a fault indicator or another external load. Depending on the parameters and measured values, the 

inverter determines when the connected load is switched on and off.

Power

Power is the product of voltage and electrical current strength. Power is measured in W (watts). The power shown 

in the display is an instantaneous value. It indicates the power your inverter is currently feeding into the electricity 

grid.
