Application instructions - Remote access to the inverter
via web user interface

1 Application
We have provided you with an intuitive web-based user interface for remote configuration of a KACO inverter which is
connected to a network.

Figure 1. Web-based user interface - data view

Enter the unit’s IP address (e.g. http://192.168.100.13) into the address bar of a common internet browser to gain access
to the user interface.
The web user interface is split into three sections and separated by a selection bar. The area above the selection bar is
used to display the unit and network data. The graphical interface of the inverter is simulated below the selection bar on
the left hand side. The current performance and operating data are displayed on the right hand side. There is also the
option to export data in csv format.

Figure 2. Selection bar with remote config deactivated

System data (e.g. yield data, charts, inverter status) can be displayed in the selection bar using links to different views
(daily/monthly/annual/general view).
It is possible to move back and forward in time by clicking the arrow and double arrow buttons. The calendar button
allows you to enter a specific date.

*We recommend using Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome or Mobile Safari for optimum display.

It is only possible to configure the inverter remotely if this function has been activated locally via the inverter’s webserver
menu on the unit.

Figure 3. Access to remote config via the webserver menu interface on the inverter

Figure 4. Selection bar with remote config activated

Following activation, the link “Configuration” is available in the selection bar on the web user interface.
If you are planning to update the unit remotely, this function must also be activated in the inverter’s webserver menu.
This is only possible if the function has been activated locally via the inverter’s webserver menu on the unit.

2 Safety
CAUTION
Setting parameters incorrectly can cause damage
Changes to software parameters can seriously impair the functionality of the unit.
> The activities described in the document may only be carried out by specially trained personnel
with the following qualifications:
- Knowledge about how an inverter functions and operates
- Training in the handling of hazards and risks during the installation and operation of
electrical units and systems
- Education concerning the installation and start-up of electrical units and systems
- Knowledge of applicable standards and directives
> Knowledge and adherence to this document with all safety notices.

CAUTION
Unauthorised access can lead to damage
If unauthorised persons gain access to the system, unit settings could be manipulated which could
seriously impair the functionality and safety of the unit and lead to damage.
> The following functions must only be used on the local network or via a secure VPN connection.

NOTEHT
The update can take several minutes. The "Operating" LED flashes during the update process.
The inverter may restart several times.
The following message appears if the DC power supply is too low: "DC power supply too low! Perform
update anyway?".
In this case, select “No” and perform the update with a stable voltage supply.

NOTEHT
The unit-specific and serial number dependent password is required to set “critical” parameters. The
unit-specific password can be obtained from KACO customer service, if necessary.
Login data must be stored in a location which is not accessible to third parties.

Notification window prior to changing “critical” parameters Operation and control

Enter unit-specific password

into framed free-text section.
Acknowledge entry by
clicking the “Confirm” button.

ACCESS DATA *)
The two accounts “user” (restricted configuration options) and “installer” (advanced configuration
options) are available for remote access to the unit:
User name: user
Password: Da_3u1B! (initial setting)
User name: installer
Password: Mo_g010rP! (initial setting)
*)
Important: Following initial start-up, you must change the access data via one of the menu items “Change user
password” or “Change installer password” in the Main menu under Functions.

NOTEHT
The functions described in the following chapter are only available on the inverters listed and with the
existing software package (see chapter 5.1).
Configurations and software updates may only be carried out if there is a suitable DC power supply.

DEVICE-SPECIFIC NOTEHT
Modified parameters in the device series blueplanet 15.0-20.0TL3 from Software Version V4.x
are only adopted when the device is restarted, but at the latest on the next day.

Software update

Note: Please note the info to Software-

Update package below V5.50 via Web-
GUI*
By activating “Switch to SW
update mode”, the changeover
to the inverter’s own update
menu will take place.
The update mode state
message indicates whether a
software update is currently
possible.
Note: After updating the device, delete
the browser cache and the Java cache
and restart your web browser.
Note: Refer to the update steps
Figure 67. Performing the software update
detailed in chapter 4.
* In the Software update for packages < V5.50 via WEBGUI, the update with the Google Chrome browser from versions > V64 can be
reported to the following error "Another user is logged to the system. Only one session is supported by the system.”, in this case, another
browser, such as Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer or the Microsoft Edge, should be used.

4 Carrying out a single update

NOTEHT
Ensure that the inverter has an active DC power supply when remote access is active. It is only possible to
update all of the inverter’s components to the most current software version in this operating state.
Furthermore, any USB storage media which may be connected to the unit must be removed.

Preparing for the software update

1. Download the software update file (.KUF) from the KACO web site and store it on your hard disk.
» Perform software update.

NOTEHT
The update can take several minutes. The "Operating" LED flashes during the update process.
The inverter may restart several times.
The following message appears if the DC power supply is too low: "DC power supply too low! Perform
update anyway?”.
