Internal transfer relay

The transfer relay is a relay built into SMA Sunny Island battery inverters, and the event log reports whether it is open or closed. In multi-unit clusters, each slave unit has its own transfer relay with separate open and closed event messages for slave 1, slave 2 and slave 3. These open and closed events are status messages. They are not faults on their own. The main failure mode is a transfer relay that will not open. On the master unit this is reported as a level 4 fault (F605). If a slave unit's transfer relay will not open, the unit logs a level 1 warning (W606, W607 or W608, one for each slave). The transfer relay is a different part from the Sunny Island multifunction relays, which have their own activation events and functions, such as requesting PV arrays.
