Kaco Powador xi Series Operator Instructions

4 Operation
Kaco Gerätetechnik GmbH 9 Operator’s Instructions Powador
The interface of the connected PC or laptop must
comply with the standard for RS232 interfaces. Some
computer manufacturers are not 100 % compliant with
this standard. In these cases there may be problems
during the data transfer.
4.7 The RS485 Interface
To enable remote monitoring of your photovoltaic
installation, Powador inverters are additionally equipped
with an RS 485 interface see Figure 4.1
Figure 4.1
This interface enables monitoring several inverters at
the same time. By means of the Powador-proLOG
series you can receive your yield and operating data or
error messages by SMS or e-mail. This monitoring
option is especially recommended in cases where you
are unable to check the functionality of your installation
on-site at regular intervals, i.e. if your domicile is too far
away from the installation site. In addition, you can use
the Powador-link in your installation, so as to bridge
long distances between several inverters or between an
inverter and proLOG by means of a wireless RF
connection. Please contact your installer if you wish to
integrate remote monitoring in your system.
4.8 Display
The inverters of the Powador xi-series are equipped
with an illuminated LCD display (see Fig. 4-1).
Figure 4.1 – (1). This display shows all measured
values and data. In normal operation the background
illumination is de-activated. As soon as you press one
of the keys the background illumination will be
activated. If 10 seconds elapse without a key being
pressed, the background illumination will be switched
off again.
During normal operation the current grid-feeding power
is shown on the display, if no key is pressed for a longer
period of time.
Using the operating keys (see Section 4.3 ) the values
and data listed in Table 4-3 can be shown.
The read data for current and voltage
are subject to the indicated tolerances
and not suitable to measured degrees
of efficiency or yield data.
These readings are merely used to
check the installation for its general
function and proper operation.
Important!
Due to measuring tolerances the
measured values may not always
correspond to the actual values. The
measuring sensors of the inverter
have been selected in a way to ensure
maximum solar yields.
Due to the tolerances the daily yields
displayed on the inverter may deviate
from the values of your Utility
Company’s grid-feeding meter by up
to 15% (admissible meter tolerance
approved by your Utility Company:
± 2%).
