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 it into the 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 interfaces for
communication and remote monitoring:
Ethernet interface
Monitoring can occur directly on the device using the integrated Ethernet interface. A local web server is installed in the
device for this purpose. This can also be used to request measured values remotely.
For monitoring a system comprising several inverters, we recommend you use an external data logging and monitoring
system.
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 has two RS485 interfaces. An RS485 interface is provided for communication with a string combiner. This can
be controlled using the Modbus RTU protocol. Data loggers that cannot be connected via Ethernet can be connected to
the additional RS485 interface. The Sunspec and KACO protocol are supported in this case.
USB port
The device's USB connection is a type A socket. It is located on the communication circuit board. The USB connection is
specified to draw 5V/500mA of current.
Use the USB interface to read out stored operating data, load firmware updates or device configurations using a FAT32-
formatted USB stick (max. 4GB).
It is possible to establish a connection to the webserver integrated into the device by connecting a USB-WiFi stick. In addi-
tion to commissioning, service information and firmware updates, more extensive configurations are also possible via the
web interface.
"Inverter Off" input / DRM 0 for Australia
In addition to the safety functions, the internal interface switches can also be actuated via the "Inverter Off" input.
If a Powador-protect is used as the central interface protection, the fail-safe disconnection of suitable KACO inverters
from the public grid can be carried out by the internal interface switches instead of separate interface switches. This re-
quires 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 operating instructions and in the
instructions 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 supplier an also
be connected to actuate the internal interface switches.

Polarity safeguard no

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)" together with the open circuit voltage (UDCmax) defines the character-
istic of the connected PV generator. This is the relevant value for string design and represents the absolute
maximum limit for inverter protection. The connected PV generator must be designed in such a way that the
maximum short-circuit current is less than or equal to the ISCmax of the device under all foreseeable conditions
and therefore complies with IEC 61730 Class A. Under no circumstances may the design lead to a short-circuit
current greater than the ISCmax of the device [See section7.6.2}Page28].

6 Assembly and preparation
6.1 Choosing the installation location
DANGER
Risk of fatal injury due to fire or explosions
Fire caused by flammable or explosive materials in the vicinity of the device can lead to serious injuries.
1. Do not mount the device in potentially explosive atmospheres or in the vicinity of highly flammable materi-
als.
CAUTION
Risk of property damage due to gases that have an abrasive effect on surfaces when they come into contact
with ambient humidity caused by weather conditions!
The device housing can be seriously damaged due to gases in combination with air humidity resulting from weather con-
ditions (e.g. ammonia, sulphur).
1. If the device is exposed to gases, it must be installed in a location that is visible.
2. Perform regular visual inspections.
3. Immediately remove any moisture from the housing.
4. Ensure adequate ventilation at the installation location.
5. Immediately remove dirt, especially on vents.
6. Failure to observe these warnings may result in damage to the device that is not covered by the warranty.
NOTE
Access by maintenance personnel for service
Any additional costs arising from unfavourable structural or installation conditions will be billed to the cus-
tomer.
Installation space
– As dry as possible, climate-controlled, the waste heat must be dissipated away from the device.
– Unobstructed air circulation.
– Close to the ground, accessible from the front and sides without requiring additional resources.
– In outdoor areas, KACO new energy recommends protecting the device from direct weather exposure and sunlight.
This should be carried out by means of constructional measures (e.g. wind breaks) in order to reduce thermal heating
of the components, premature derating and more extensive wear of the fans.
Installation surface
– Must have adequate load-bearing capacity
– Must be accessible for installation and maintenance
– Must be made out of heat-resistant material (up to 90 °C )
– Must be flame resistant
– Minimum clearances to be observed during installation: [See figure 17 [}Page22]
