Commissioning the Sunny Boy Control Light The electricity facilities in buildings supply energy to electric devices with 230 V 50 Hz or e g 120 V 60 Hz in the USA This electricity distribution system is not optimized for the transmission of high frequency signals approx 132 kHz Therefore the interference free communication in this frequency range essentially depends on the selection of the transmission line between the units and the Sunny Boy Control Light The transmission link should use only one phase and be as short as possible Pay attention about connecting all devices that transmit and receive data to one phase or preferably even to the same line Therefore you should choose a socket for the Sunny Boy Control Light installed on the same line resp at least on the same phase as the device and is as near as possible to its feeding point In case the Sunny Boy Control Light and the according devices must be connected to different phases the installation of a phase coupler can be necessary Phase couplers are available from SMA and must be installed on the site by a qualified technician Further information on optimizing the installation is available in chapter 7 2 1 Transmission Errors If there are any other users of Powerline equipment in your neighborhood you should have an eye on the device detection and pay special attention to the according dialogs in order to ensure that you detect your own devices on
