5 Installation and startup
KACO Gerätetechnik GmbH 11 Installation Instructions Powador 01xi
The green LED “PV generator“ will now be illuminated
(if the generator voltage is greater than 125V). The
display now shows the current generator voltage: “Start
from 125V; measurement xxx V“ If the measured
voltage is greater than 125V, the device will start power
delivery after approx.3 minutes. This starting-up period
of 3 minutes is necessary to ensure that the generator
voltage is permanently above the power delivery limit of
125V.
A quick-start routine is provided for test purposes – this
routine circumvents the start-up period. This quick-start
is menu-controlled and obtained from the set-up mode
(see Operator’s Manual ).
During the normal startup procedure the line power
relay is switched on after approx. 3 minutes (audible
acoustic noise), and power delivery is started. This is
also signaled by the green “Grid-feeding“ LED. The
display now shows the delivered power. The “Display“
key can be used to indicate the various measurement
values (see Operator’s Manual).
It may be necessary to reset the date and hour (please
refer to the Operator’s Manual).
5.8 Programming the parameters
The programming mode offers several options to
change or program the parameters of your Powador
inverter.
The following parameters can be adjusted:
- Break threshold of undervoltage protection
- Break threshold of overvoltage protection
- Adjust grid voltage
- Adjust grid current
Caution!
Incorrect parameter settings may
lead to a loss of functions!
Caution
NOTE!
The inverter can only be put into
operation under daylight conditions
(i.e. at a solar generator voltage of >
100 V).
If no daylight or solar generator
voltage is present, the inverter can be
activated by pressing the Start key
(see Section 4.4 of the Operating
Instructions), but normal operation
will not be possible in this condition.
(Only the values can be read off the
display).
- Switch on the grid voltage (via the
external automatic safety breakers).
- Switch on the solar generator via the
DC circuit breaker (or DC plug-type
connector).
Danger!
Always disconnect the inverter from all
voltage sources before opening the
inverter housing!
Danger
To change to the programming mode
please change the jumper position as
shown in Figure 5.11).
Change the jumper position as
shown in Figure 5.13, so as to get to
the Display and Programming Mode.
