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.

3.2.2 Electrical functions
A potential-free relay contact is integrated into the device. Use this contact for one of the following functions:
Manual Description of the device | 3
Kaco blueplanet 50.0TL3 Kaco blueplanet 60.0TL3 Page 9
EN

Potential-free relay
The potential-free relay contact closes as soon as there is a fault during operation. You use this function, for ex-
ample, to signal a fault visually or acoustically.
Priwatt
The energy that is provided by the PV system can be put to use directly by the appliances that are connected in
your home.
The potential-free contact can switch larger appliances (e.g. air conditioning units) on and off with the Priwatt
function activated. This requires an external power supply and an external load relay.
When the function is active, either the remaining runtime (in hours and minutes) or the shutdown threshold (in
kW) is displayed on the start screen depending on the operating mode selected. The “priwatt” function is not
active in the unit’s delivery state. The option can be configured in the Settings menu.
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
Monitoring can occur directly on the unit using the integrated Ethernet interface. A local web server is installed
in the unit 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.
RS485 interface
Use this monitoring option if you cannot check the functioning of the system on-site on a regular basis, e.g. if
your place of residence is located a great distance from the system. To connect the RS485 interface, contact
your authorised electrician.
For monitoring your PV system using the RS485 interface, KACO new energy GmbH offers monitoring devices.
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.
„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.
Digital inputs
You can extend the unit with additional digital inputs by means of an extension module (available from KACO
customer service). This can be used to connect a ripple control receiver or a protective shutdown system.

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 ISCmax 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 ISCmax of the inverter [See
section7.6.4}Page30].

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 inverter in potentially explosive atmospheres or in the vicinity of highly flammable ma-
terials.
CAUTION
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, the installation must be carried out at observable locations.
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 lead to device damage which is not covered by the manufacturer 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.
– Protected on all sides against direct weather exposure and sunlight (thermal heating) in outdoor areas. Implementa-
tion where necessary via constructional measures, e.g. wind breaks.
– For easy operation during installation, ensure that the display is slightly below eye level.
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 )
