Configuring the Country Data Set
Qualified person
Set the country data set appropriate for your country or purpose within the first ten feed-in hours via the rotary switches in the inverter. After the first ten feed-in hours, the country data set can only be changed by means of a communication product.
The country data set must be set correctly.
If you select a country data set which is not valid for your country and purpose, it can cause a disturbance in the PV system and lead to problems with the grid operator. When selecting the country data set, you must always observe the locally applicable standards and directives as well as the properties of the PV system (e.g. PV system size, grid-connection point).
- If you are not sure which standards and directives are valid for your country or purpose, contact the grid operator.
Country data set for operation with external decoupling protection
When operating the PV system with an external decoupling protection, the inverter with a firmware version ≤ 2.99.99.R has the country data set Medium-Voltage Directive (Germany) or MVtgDirective and with a firmware version ≥ 3.00.00.R the country data set DE VDE-AR-N4110:2018 generator ext. Decoup. Protection Device or VDEARN4110/18a. These country data sets allow you to extend the operating range of the inverter for voltage and frequency. These country data sets may only be selected if the PV system is disconnected via external decoupling.
- If the country data set for operation is set with external decoupling protection, only operate the inverter with an external three-phase decoupling protection. Without external three‑phase decoupling protection, the inverter will not disconnect from the utility grid when the country-specific standard requirement is exceeded.
Country data sets for all EU countries still not included in the firmware version ≥ 3.00.00.R
Since the new grid connection regulations have not yet been defined for all EU countries, the firmware version ≥ 3.00.00.R does not yet contain country data sets for all EU countries. A generally valid country data set in accordance with EN 50549 is included instead. It can be used in EU countries for which no country data set is available. For individual EU countries, however, it may be temporarily necessary to make adjustments to the locally valid grid connection regulations via parameter settings. This is done on the basis of the country data set previously valid for the country in the firmware version ≤ 2.99.99.R.
- It is decided how to proceed according to the locally valid regulations and the SMA manufacturer's declaration valid for the country of use. Set the generally valid country dataset according to EN 50549 with the firmware version ≥ 3.00.00.R or select the previously valid country dataset with the firmware version ≤ 2.99.99.R. Make the parameter settings according to the manufacturer's declaration.
Change to the names and units of grid parameters to comply with the grid-connection requirements in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/631 (valid from April 27, 2019)
To comply with the EU grid-connection requirements (valid from April 27, 2019) the names and units of grid parameters were changed. The change is valid from firmware version ≥ 3.00.00.R. Names and units of grid parameters for inverters with firmware version ≤ 2.99.99.R are not affected by this change and remain valid.

Procedure:
- Determine the rotary switch position for your country and purpose. Call up the Technical Information "Overview of the Rotary Switch Settings" at www.SMA-Solar.com.
- Ensure that the inverter is disconnected from all voltage sources and that the enclosure lid is removed ( > Disconnecting the Inverter from Voltage Sources).
- Set the rotary switches A and B to the required position using a flat-blade screwdriver (blade width: 2.5 mm).
DANGER
Danger to life due to high voltages
- The inverter will adopt the setting after commissioning. This can take up to 5 minutes.
