3 Notes on Installation
and Operation

3.1 Intended use

The unit converts the DC voltage generated by the photo-
voltaic (PV) modules into AC voltage and feeds this into the
power grid.
Powador inverters are built according to the state of the art
and recognised safety rules. However, improper use may cause
lethal hazards for the operator or third parties, or may result in
damage to the units and other property.
The inverter may only be operated with a permanent connec-
tion to the public power grid.
The inverter is not intended for mobile use.
Any other or additional use is not considered the intended use.
The manufacturer/supplier is not liable for damage caused by
such unintended use. Damage caused by such unintended use
is at the sole risk of the operator.
Intended use also includes adherence to the operating and
installation instructions. Your authorised electrician under-
takes the registration with your power supply company and
obtains approval for your photovoltaic installation from the
supply grid operator on your behalf. Some of the documents
that you require in order to register your photovoltaic instal-
lation and have it approved are included in the installation
instructions.

3.2 Factory warranty and liability

KACO new energy GmbH issues a warranty of seven years on
the Powador inverter starting from the date of installation,
but at most 90 months after shipment by KACO new energy
GmbH.
During this time, KACO new energy GmbH guarantees the
proper operation of the units and to undertake repairs at the
factory free of charge in the event of a defect for which we
are responsible.
