Modifications/Manipulation
Manipulating the inverter is generally prohibited. Before
performing any modifications on or in the environment
of the inverter, a skilled electrician must be consulted by
all means, as this electrician will assume responsibility.
Transportation
The Powador inverter is subjected to extensive testing
and inspection in our test field, so as to ensure the
superb quality of our products. Our inverters leave our
factory in a proper electrical and mechanical condition.
Special packaging ensures that nothing can happen
during the transport to our customers. Nevertheless,
transport damage may not be ruled out completely. In
this case, the forwarding agent/carrier will be
responsible.
Please check the inverter carefully on arrival. Should
you discover any visible signs of damage on the
packaging, indicating that the inverter may be
damaged, or should you find any visible signs of
damage on the inverter please notify your responsible
forwarding agent/carrier immediately?
If necessary, your solar installation provider or KACO
Gerätetechnik GmbH will assist you. However, written
damage reports must be received by the forwarding
agent within six days after receipt of the goods at the
latest.
Use exclusively the original packaging for returning the
inverter – only this material will ensure safe
transportation.

3.3 Intended use (normal use)
Powador inverters are built according to state-of-the-art
and approved safety requirements. However, improper
use may cause lethal hazards for operators or third
parties and/or damage of instruments/devices or other
property.
The device is intended to convert the direct voltage
generated in the photovoltaic (PV) modules into
alternating voltage (AC) and feed this voltage into the
grid.
The inverter must only be operated in connection with a
fixed/stationary connection to the public grid. Inverters
are not intended for mobile use.
Any use other than the specified intended use shall not
be deemed intended or normal use, and the
manufacturer/supplier shall not be liable for any
damage caused by such unintended use. Damage
caused by unintended use is at the sole risk of the
operator.
Caution!
Hazard of damage due to
unauthorized
modifications/manipulation! By no
means manipulate the inverter or
modify or change the inverter or any
other parts of the installation!
