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 o 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 congured in the Settings menu.
.. Interfaces
You congure the interfaces and the web server in the Settings menu.
The inverter has the following interfaces 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.
For the monitoring of a system consisting of multiple inverters, we recommend the utilization of the Powador web
portal on our homepage.
RS interface
In addition to the monitoring via the Ethernet interface, the monitoring can be executed via the RS interface. For
monitoring your PV system using the RS interface, KACO new energy GmbH oers monitoring devices:
Only the RS interface continues to transmit data if the inverter in an inverter group fails.
USB interface
The USB connection of the inverter is a type A socket. It is located on the connection circuit board behind the cover
for the connection area. The USB connection is specied to draw mA of power. Use the USB interface to read out
stored operating data and to load software updates using a FAT-formatted USB stick.
“Inverter O" input
If Powador protect is installed as a central grid and system protection, the fail-safe disconnection of suitable Pow-
ador or blueplanet 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.
If a Powador-protect is used for fast shutdown, it must be used as grid protection. The RS interface is not
required for this.
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 new energy website.
S interface (optional)
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).
The S interface pulse rate can be chosen in three unit intervals (, , and , pulses/kWh).
The optional extension module is available from the service department of KACO new energy.
