3 Description of the device
3.1 Mode of operation
The device converts the DC voltage generated by the PV-modules into AC voltage and feeds this into the power
grid. The starting procedure begins when there is sufficient sunlight and a specific minimum voltage is present
in the device. The feed-in process begins once the PV generator has passed the insulation test and the grid
parameters are within the requirements imposed by the grid operator for a specific monitoring time. If, as it
gets dark, the voltage drops below the minimum voltage value, feed-in mode ends and the device switches off.

3.2.3 Interfaces
You can configure the interfaces and the web server in the Settings menu. The device has the following inter-
faces for communication and remote monitoring.
Ethernet interface
The device features two switched Ethernet ports to enable the user to, for example, connect several devices in
series if the user prefers a linear topology.
RS485 interface
The device features two RS485-Interfaces. One RS485-Interface is earmarked for communication with a string-
combiner-box. This can be controlled using the Modbus RTU protocol. Data loggers that cannot be connected
via Ethernet can be connected to the other RS485-Interface. The Sunspec and KACO protocol are supported in
this case.
USB interface
The USB connection of the device is a type A socket. It is located on the communication circuit board. The USB
connection is specified to draw 500mA of current.
Use the USB interface to read out stored operating data, load software updates or device configurations using a
FAT32-formatted USB stick.
It is possible to establish a connection to the webserver integrated into the device by connecting a USB-WiFi
stick. In addition to starting up the device, the web interface can be used for service information purposes,
software updates and for carrying out extensive configuration.
„Inverter Off“ Eingang / DRM0 for Australia
In addition to the safety functions, the internal interface switches can also be actuated via the "Inverter Off" in-
put.
The Powador-protect or a protective device from another manufacturer can be used for this purpose.
If a Powador-protect is used as the central interface protection, the fail-safe disconnection of suitable KACO in-
verters from the public grid can be carried out by the internal interface switches instead of separate interface
switches. This requires the inverters in the photovoltaic system to be connected to the Powador-protect.
Information on installation and use can be found in this manual, in the Powador protect manual and in the in-
structions for use of the Powador protect on the KACO web site.
On the "Inverter Off" input, instead of the Powador-protect an interface protection device from another sup-
plier an also be connected to actuate the internal interface switches.

Number of MPP controls 1
Max. short-circuit current (ISC
max.) 300 A
3A brief open circuit voltage of up to 1600 Vdc (max. 15 hours a year) is admissible for the device.
Due to the brief open circuit voltage exceedance, there is no guarantee that the integrated overvoltage pro-
tection will work correctly if the ambient temperature is > 40°C.
4The "Max. input current" is the maximal theoretical value for operation with full power when the feed-in
power is low. The device is limited to the maximum AC power.
The "Max. short-circuit current (ISCmax.)" defines together with open circuit voltage (Uocmax) the character-
istic of the connected PV generator. This is the relevant value for string sizing and is the absolute maximal limit
for inverter protection. The connected PV-Generator must be designed, that the max short circuit current is
below or equal to ISCmax of the inverter under all foreseeable conditions. In no condition the design may res-
ult in a greater short circuit current than ISCmax of the inverter [See section7.6.2}Page28].
