There are multiple ways to access the user interface of the inverter. We show here the method using the SMA Energy App and the QR code on the inverter.
Step 1: the SMA Energy App
Take your SMA Energy App and click on 'My display area' at the bottom right
Step 2: QR code
Find the QR code on your inverter: here in the red circle
Step 3: open the scanner
Click on 'Quick access to devices' in the SMA Energy App. The phone usually asks if you want to give the app access to your camera: grant permission
Step 4: Scan the QR code
Point the scanner at the QR code: now the login screen opens
Step 5: Log in
Log in to the inverter in the user group 'Installer' with the password in the form 0+postal code+_zf
Step 6: Click on device parameters
Go to settings and click on 'Device parameters'
Step 7: Click on 'Device'
Click on 'Device'
Step 8: Click on 'System'
Click on 'System'. Now a number of parameters open including 'Activate Device Restart'
Step 9: Click on 'Edit parameters'
Scroll back up and click on 'edit parameters'
Step 10: Activate the restart
Scroll back down and set the parameter 'Activate device restart' to 'Execute'
Step 11: Click on Save
Scroll back up and click on 'Save All'. This will initiate the restart of the inverter.
Step 12: Done
During the restart you will temporarily lose contact with the inverter. All lights on the inverter will go out and after some time all come back on. After a few minutes, only a constant green and blue LED will be lit on the inverter again. If all goes well, communication will also resume.
