3 Device description
3.1 Function
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 volt-
age 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 features two RS485-Interfaces. One RS485-Interface is earmarked 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 con-
nected to the other RS485-Interface. The Sunspec and KACO protocol are supported in this case.
USB interface
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 500 mA of power.
Use the USB interface to read out stored operating data, load firmware updates or device configurations using a FAT32-
formatted USB stick (max. 4GB).
A connection to the unit's internal web server can be established via a plugged-in USB WiFi stick. In addition to commis-
sioning, 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.
At the “Inverter Off” input, instead of the Powador-protect an interface protection device from another supplier can also
be connected to actuate the internal interface switches.

DC overvoltage protection 1 + 2
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 (UDCmax) the characteristic of
the connected PV generator. This is the relevant value for string sizing and is the absolute maximal limit for in-
verter protection. The connected PV-Generator must be designed, that the max short circuit current is below
or equal to the ISC max of the inverter under all foreseeable conditions and therefore complies with IEC 61730
Class A. In no condition the design may result in a greater short circuit current than ISC max of the inverter [See
section7.6.2}Page28].
