SMA Sunnyboy 4000TL and Sunnybeam / bluetooth repeater setup

[bambi]

Hi, my first post here. I've got a Sunnyboy 4000TL in the workshop which is at the bottom of the garden. I have a Sunnybeam in the house, and the range isn't good enough, so we bought a bluetooth repeater to extend the range. It won't work properly and says that the netID is 1 which according to the instructions, is fine when you have 1 inverter, 1 sunnybeam and 1 laptop / PC running the sunny explorer software. Any ideas?

put the inverter and repeater on the same net id but NOT '0' or '1' .

OK thanks - I did think as much, but hoped that we wouldn't have to change the netID. I presume that the PV will have to go off to set that, as the case will need to be opened?

Yes, isolate dc and ac first.
How to change net id is in the installation manual which you can download if you do not have it.
