• SDongleA-03 Smart Dongle (the "Dongle" for short) is a smart communications expansion
module that works with Huawei inverters to implement wireless communication between
inverters and management systems through the 4G network.
• When multiple inverters are cascaded, only one Dongle or one SmartLogger is allowed.

• In the networking, the inverter where the Dongle is installed is the master
inverter, and other inverters are slave inverters. Slave inverters can
communicate with the Dongle through cascading.
• This document uses the RS485 communication scenario as an example. For
details about the MBUS communication scenario, see the user manual.
• This document uses connection to Huawei FusionSolar Smart PV
Management System as an example. For details about connection to a
third-party management system, see the user manual.

• The number of devices that can be cascaded varies with the Dongle model. You can view
the maximum number of devices that can be connected to the Dongle from the label on
the external package.
• If cascaded inverters include a single-phase inverter or are connected to batteries, a
maximum of three inverters can be cascaded.
• If devices are connected to the RS485-2, RS485_2, or 485B2 and 485A2 ports of the main
inverter, the devices are not included as cascaded devices.

2 Installation and Commissioning

1. Install a SIM card.

• You need to prepare a standard SIM card (size: 25 mm x 15 mm; capacity: ≥ 64 KB).
When connecting to Huawei FusionSolar Smart PV Management System, prepare a SIM
card based on the traffic requirements in the following table.
• Before installing a SIM card, you need to remove the Dongle from an inverter.
