programmed in the Sunny Island equipment. If these settings are adhered to, SimpliPhi approves and

warranties the AmpliPHI battery product for use with SMA’s Sunny Island.

The AmpliPHI battery is in the approval process with SMA for use with the Sunny Island. The PHI Battery

product, however, is not covered under SMA’s warranty. SimpliPhi only warranties PHI Batteries used with

Sunny Islands if the PHI Battery was installed in conjunction with the Sunny Island prior to October 1

, 2021.

Depth of Discharge

To optimize the AmpliPHI batteries’ performance as well as the life of the system, SimpliPhi recommends

programming the equipment settings for an 80% maximum Depth of Discharge (DoD). Maintaining the

AmpliPHI battery at this DoD ensures the greatest level of SimpliPhi battery health. This affects the Battery

Protection settings in the Sunny Island (principally #223.07 BatPro3Soc).

CAUTION: If a firmware update is executed on SMA equipment, ALL the settings must be reverified. The

programmed settings shown in the following table must be applied based on desired Warranty/cycle life. The

recommended is 80% Depth of Discharge.

Inverter/Charger Settings

Except for initial commissioning, inverter programming may be achieved either directly on the Sunny Island

inverter devices or online. The SMA Data Manager (https://www.sma-

america.com/products/monitoring-control/data-manager-m.html) allows for remote programmingand

requires an internet connection.

CAUTION: Initial inverter programming when first commissioning the system should be done directly on the

Sunny Island devices.

For first time commissioning on Slave, 01 #StartMenu, select "New System", select "Y" & select "Y" again.

For AmpliPHI / Sunny Island installations that include more than one Sunny Island, configure the “Slave”

Sunny Island devices first and the “Master” unit last. The Sunny Island screen that displays “INIT MASTER OK

START?” should only be programmed after the Slave units are configured. Start with the configuration of the

Slave unit displaying “INIT SLAVE OK START?” select “Y,” and then press “Y” again to confirm the Slave device

(refer to the images below).

Follow instructions starting on page 69 of the Sunny Island 4548-6048-US Manual or on page 70 of the

Sunny

Island 4.4M-6.0H-8.0H Manual to begin commissioning using the Quick Configuration Guide (QCG).

• Assign BatTyp (Battery Type) as LiIon_Ext-BMS

• Program BatCpyNom (Battery Capacity Nominal) as 75Ah per AmpliPHI 3.8 Battery.
