Fault signal relay The potential-free relay contact closes as soon as there is a fault during operation. You use this function, for example, to signal a fault visually or acoustically. KACO Operating Instructions blueplanet 5.0 TL3 - 10.0 TL3 Page 7... -
Page 8: Usb Interface
In addition to the monitoring via the Ethernet interface, the monitoring can be executed via the RS485 interface. For monitoring your PV system using the RS485 interface, KACO new energy GmbH offers monitoring devices: Only the RS485 interface continues to transmit data if the inverter in an inverter group fails. - Page 9 Some power supply companies also allow the installation of your own calibrated meters. Selective main switch If you have questions about the selective main switch, contact your power supply company. KACO Operating Instructions blueplanet 5.0 TL3 - 10.0 TL3 Page 9...
