Transportation
The blueplanet xi-series inverter is subjected to extensive
testing and inspection at our testing facilities in Germany to
ensure the highest quality product possible. Our inverters
leave our factory in proper electrical and mechanical
condition. Special packaging is used to minimize risks of
damage during shipping.
Nevertheless, transport damage may not be guaranteed by
KACO Solar, Inc. In case of damage during shipping, 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 Solar,
Inc. 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.

Notes concerning installation and
operation
3.1
Intended (normal) use
Blueplanet xi-series 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. KACO
blueplanet xi series 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.
The term “intended use” shall also include the adherence to
the operating and installation instructions.
Your skilled and authorized electrician will obtain the
necessary applications and acceptance for your
photovoltaic installation from your utility company. Some of
the documents which are needed for these applications and
acceptance are attached to these installation instructions.
3.2
Factory warranty and liability
Terms and conditions
Customers shall contact KACO Solar, Inc. to obtain a
Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number before
returning products. KACO Solar, Inc. accepts no
responsibility or liability for products returned without prior
authorization. KACO Solar, Inc., at its sole determination,
will repair or replace inverters returned by customers.
Inverters must be returned with a copy of the original dealer
invoice or written proof of installation if the inverter has not
been already registered by fax or mail. Inverters must
include a legible data label showing the serial number and
the type of inverter. The warranty belongs to the unique
serial number of the inverter and not any particular person;
therefore, KACO inverters are sold with a 10 year
transferable warranty.
The inverter must be returned to KACO Solar, Inc. in the
original packaging materials or packaging providing equal
protection during shipment. KACO Solar, Inc. is not
responsible for damage occurring during shipment.
To satisfy the claims of our easy swap warranty; KACO
Solar, Inc. will ship any replacement inverter within 24 hours
after a claim has been issued and approved. If the inverter
fails out of the box or within a 6 month period of operation a
new inverter shall be issued. After 6 months of installation, a
factory reconditioned unit of newer or similar age shall be
issued.

KACO Solar, Inc. disclaims any liability for direct or indirect
damages due to:
1. improper installation or commissioning,
2. modifications, alterations or repair attempts,
3. inappropriate use or operation,
4. insufficient ventilation of the device,
5.
non-compliance with relevant safety standards or
regulations,
6. flood, lightning, overvoltage, storm, fire (acts of
nature).
We do not guarantee that the software is completely free of
faults. In most cases technical alerts will be posted on the
KACO Solar website describing how to avoid the effects of
the fault. If the concern is greater, written explanation will be
mailed to registered installers. The solar system installer is
responsible for the correct selection, proper use,
supervision and consequences of the use of software.
