Sunny Beam Manual Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting
General Performance
Generally speaking, the majority of performance issues with the Sunny Beam will be
communication related, e.g. too far from the Sunny Boy, interference from another appliance,
etc. These issues can be easily overcome by experimenting with the placement and orientation
of the Sunny Beam and its antenna.
Group Settings
In cases where a single Sunny Beam will monitor more than 4 inverters, or is multiple Sunny
Beams will be used, it is necessary to assign each group of 4 inverters a Group Number. For
example, inverters 1 through 4 would be Group 1, inverters 5 through 8 would be Group 2,
and so forth. To select a Group Number on the piggy-back board, simply change the settings
of the DIP switch to the desired group using the following table. On the Sunny Beam, Go to the
Main Menu, Select Setup, then Plant, then Group. In the Group menu the desired group can
be selected. As an added convenience, the Group menu in the Sunny Beam also includes an
image of the proper DIP switch settings for that group.
