Intended Use

The SMA Revenue Grade Meter Kit allows the retrofitting of an SMA inverter with an energy meter
of accuracy class 0.5 in accordance with ANSI C12.20. The energy meter is a so called revenue
grade meter intended to measure the generated energy of the inverter. The measured values of the
energy meter can be used for billing purposes. A link must be established from the energy meter to
the inverter via RS485 to transmit the measured values. The link can be established either via the
SMA RS485 Module or SMA Cellular LTE Modem Kit. Without a link, the transmission of the
measured values from the energy meter to the inverter is not possible.
The product must only be installed in the following SMA inverters:
• SB3.0-1SP-US-40 (Sunny Boy 3.0-US) from firmware version 2.04.70.R
• SB3.8-1SP-US-40 (Sunny Boy 3.8-US) from firmware version 2.04.70.R
• SB5.0-1SP-US-40 (Sunny Boy 5.0-US) from firmware version 2.04.70.R
• SB6.0-1SP-US-40 (Sunny Boy 6.0-US) from firmware version 2.04.70.R
• SB7.0-1SP-US-40 (Sunny Boy 7.0-US) from firmware version 2.04.70.R
• SB7.7-1SP-US-40 (Sunny Boy 7.7-US) from firmware version 2.04.70.R
The inverter still complies with the standard after the product has been installed.
