Select the Interface and settings of the RS485
address
With the menu item “Select interface”, you can use key “2” to
switch between the RS232 and RS485 interfaces.
If the RS485 interface is activated, you can reach the address
setting by pressing key “1”. By pressing key “2”, the address
can be set in a consecutive manner from 1 to 32.
The address then jumps back to 1. The RS485 interface is used
to communicate with the KACO proLOG, watchDOG or
other monitor. If several inverters are connected to a KACO
proLOG, watchDOG or other monitor each address may
only be used once. It is possible to monitor 32 blueplanet
inverters with one KACO proLOG. To connect the RS485
interface, please contact your installer.
S0 interface pulse rate
The S0 interface is designed as a galvanically isolated transistor
output. This interface is designed according to “DIN 43864
– Current interface for transmitting pulses from a pulsing meter
to a tariff metering device”.
The S0 interface pulse rate can be chosen in three unit intervals:
500, 1,000 and 2,000 pulses/kWh.
To connect the S0 interface, please contact your installer.
ACTION
Settings are saved only upon exiting configuration mode.
If 2 minutes elapse without a key being pressed, the
configuration mode is automatically exited. The configuration
mode can also be immediately exited by pressing both keys.
As a confirmation, “Settings saved” appears on the display.
The settings are now permanently saved in the blueplanet
inverter.
Quick start
The inverter can also be started up without any waiting period
for the purpose of testing or for the purpose of acceptance by
your power supply company.
If the inverter is already feeding into the grid, this menu item
is not available.
If there is insufficient solar generator power, the inverter stops
feeding into the grid after a short period of time.
4.6 DC/AC switch
The inverters include a connection box with an internal DC/
AC disconnect switch, which allows for the inverter to be
disconnected from the photovoltaic generator and the AC
power grid and removed for service.
To disconnect the inverter from the photovoltaic generator,
turn the internal DC/AC disconnect switch on the right side
of the connection box from the ON (1) position to the OFF (0)
position (see Fig. 4.1). The ON (1) position is pointing up and
the OFF (0) position is pointing toward the front.

Clear the grid-feed counter
When you clear the grid-feed counter, all counters (Counter
yield and Counter oper. hours) are reset to zero.
To clear the counters, select “Yes” with key “2”, and confirm
your selection by pressing the “1” key. The required code is
“2” and is entered using key “2”. By means of an additional
confirmation with key “1”, all counter are cleared. The display
“Grid-feed counter cleared!” confirms that the counters have
been cleared.
“Counter yield” and “Counter oper. hours” can be cleared
separately from the other counters. These counters are cleared
in the configuration menu using key 2 and the code 2. ”Counter
yield” and “Counter oper. hours” are always cleared together.
Define the initial value of the total yield
Use this menu setting to define or reset the intial value of the
total yield of the inverter.
