2.2 IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Keep the manual for future reference.
This section contains safety information that must be
observed at all times when working.
The product has been designed and tested in
accordance with international safety requirements. As
with all electrical or electronical devices, some
residual risks remain despite careful construction. To
prevent personal injury and property damage and to
ensure long-term operation of the product, read this
section carefully and observe all safety information at
all times.
WARNING
Danger to life due to electric shock
Under fault conditions, when working on the power
supply circuit there may be dangerous voltages
present on the product. This can result in death or
serious injury.
• For power supply units with a fixed
connection, make sure that a disconnection
unit (e.g. miniature circuit breaker) is present
outside the power supply unit.
• For power supply units with a plug connection,
make sure that the electrical outlet for the
power supply unit is close to the power supply
unit.
• The disconnection unit and the electrical outlet
for the power supply unit must be freely
accessible at all times.

CAUTION
Damage due to electromagnetic
radiation
This product emits electromagnetic radiation during
operation, which may interfere with the operation of
other devices and active body aids (e.g.
pacemakers).
• Persons must not remain closer than 20 cm (8
in) to the product for long periods of time.
NOTICE
Damage to the product due to
condensation
If the product is moved from a cold environment to
a warm environment, condensation may form in the
product. This can damage the product or impair its
functionality.
• When there are large temperature differences,
wait until the product has reached room
temperature to connect the voltage supply.
• Make sure the product is dry.
NOTICE
Manipulation of system data in networks
You can connect the supported SMA products to
the Internet. When connected to the Internet, there
is a risk that unauthorized users can access and
manipulate the data of your system.
• Set up a firewall.
• Close unnecessary network ports.
• If absolutely necessary, only enable remote
access via a virtual private network (VPN).
• Do not use the port forwarding feature. This
also applies to the used Modbus ports.
• Disconnect system components from other
network components (network segmentation).
DHCP Server is recommended
The DCHP server automatically assigns the
appropriate network settings to your nodes in the
local network. A manual network configuration is
therefore not necessary. In a local network, the
Internet router is usually the DHCP server. If the IP
addresses in the local network are to be assigned
dynamically, DHCP must be activated in the Internet
router (see the Internet router manual). In order to
receive the same IP address by the internet router
after a restart, set the MAC address binding.
In networks where no DHCP server is active, proper
IP addresses must be assigned from the free address
pool of the network segment to all network
participants to be integrated during commissioning.
