ENEN . Proper use
The inverter converts the DC voltage generated by the PV modules into AC voltage and feeds it into the grid. The
inverter is built according to the latest technological standards and safety regulations. Nevertheless, improper use
may cause lethal hazards for the operator or third parties, or may result in damage to the unit and other property.
Operate the inverter only with a permanent connection to the public power grid.
Any other or additional use of the device shall be regarded as improper. This includes:
• Mobile use,
• Use in potentially explosive atmospheres,
• Use in rooms where the humidity is higher than %
• Use in outdoor areas if the inverter is exposed to direct sunlight, rain or a storm,
• Use less than  m distant from the coast,
• Operation outside the specications intended by the manufacturer,
• Islanding operation.
. Protection features
For your safety, the following monitoring and protective functions are integrated into Powador inverters:
• Overvoltage conductors/varistors to protect the power semiconductors from high-energy transients on the grid
and generator side
• Temperature monitoring of the heat sink
• EMC lters to protect the inverter from high-frequency grid interference
• Grid-side grounded varistors to protect the inverter against burst and surge pulses
• Islanding detection according to VDE --
. Trademark

. Mode of Operation
The inverter converts the DC voltage generated by the PV modules into AC voltage and feeds it into the grid. The
feed-in process begins when there is sucient sunlight and a specic minimum voltage is present in the inverter.
If, as it gets dark, the voltage drops below the minimum voltage value, feed-in operation ends and the inverter
switches o.

ENEN .. Interfaces
The inverter has the following interfaces for communication and remote monitoring:
• RS interface
• Ethernet interface
• USB interface
• S interface
You congure the interfaces and the web server in the Settings menu (see section . on page ).
... RS 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 RS interface, contact your author-
ised electrician.
For monitoring your PV system using the RS interface, KACO new energy GmbH oers monitoring devices:
... 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.
For monitoring a system comprising several inverters, we recommend you use an external data logging and moni-
toring system.
... USB interface
The USB connection of the inverter is a type A socket. It is located on the connection board on the underside of the
inverter under a cover. The USB connection is specied to draw mA of power. Use the USB interface for reading
out stored operating data and loading software updates using a FAT-formatted USB stick.
... S interface
The S interface transmits pulses between a pulsing counter and a tari metering unit. It is a galvanically isolated
transistor output. It is designed according to DIN EN -:- (pulse output devices for electromechanical
and electronic meters).
NOTE
The S interface sends a specic number of pulses per kilowatt-hour output.
The number of pulses per kilowatt-hour output that can be sent by the S interface depends on the
maximum feed-in power of the inverter and can be set in the menu.
30.0-36.0 TL3 500, 1,000 or 2,000 pulses/kWh.
39.0-60.0 TL3 500 or 1000 pulses/kWh
72.0 TL3 500 pulses/kWh
... Digital input "inverter o"
If Powador protect is installed as a central grid and system protection, the fail-safe disconnection of suitable Pow-
ador inverters from the public grid can be initiated by a digital signal instead of tie circuit-breakers. This requires the
inverters in the photovoltaic system to be connected to the Powador protect. For information on the installation
and use see this manual, the Powador protect manual and the instructions for use of the Powador protect on the
KACO web site.
