AC Switch with Meter Installatin Guide AC Switch with Meter Installatin Guide Overview The SlarEdge Smart Energy Management slutins allw increasing the self-cnsumptin f a site. One methd used fr this purpse is cntrlling the usage (cnsumptin) f lads using Device Cntrl prducts. The SlarEdge Device Cntrl units divert pwer t an appliance (lad) accrding t pre-cnfigured schedules, using the fllwing mdes: Schedule - TThe device turns n and ff at times set by the user fr the user s cnvenience, regardless f available PV pwer.w Smart Save - The device (typically a biler r water pump) is cntrlled autmatically t maximize selfcnsumptin. Grid pwer is used nly if PV pwer is insufficient t meet the user s ready by time. Fr example, t heat water fr 2 hurs and have ht water by 18:00, set Ttal Time t 2 hurs and Ready by t The biler may wrk befre 16:00 if there is available PV pwer, but in any case yu are guaranteed t.18:00 have ht water by 18:00.w Refer t Figure 2 fr examples f the device mdes f peratin. Yu can re-cnfigure the schedules at any time and manually switch appliances n and ff. Yu can cnfigure the Device Cntrl prducts lcally thrugh the SlarEdge inverter r remtely, via the SlarEdge mnitring prtal. The SlarEdge AC Switch with meter (referred t as "the device") is a ZigBee wireless AC switch with a builtin energy and pwer-cnsumptin meter that prvides pwer measurements up t 2.5kW. Based n these measurements and n the system cnfiguratin it switches the lads n and ff. Figure 1: SlarEdge System with Device Cntrl SlarEdge-AC Switch Installatin Guide 1
Installatin The fllwing figure illustrates a typical example f device peratin with Smart Save and Schedule mdes. Nte that in Smart Save mde, the cnsumptin is reduced by taking advantage f excess PV earlier in the day.

Cnfigure the prduct s that the lad cnnected is nt switched n r ff mre frequently than specified by the lad manufacturer. D nt cnnect lads that require a cntinuus current supply (e.g. fridge, freezer). D nt use the prduct if it is damaged r malfunctining. Never cnnect lads that can cause injuries r fire if they are switched n unintentinally (e.g. an irn). D nt let the prduct cme int cntact with water r ther liquids. The enclsed dcumentatin is an integral part f this prduct. Keep the dcumentatin in a cnvenient place fr future reference and bserve all instructins cntained therein. 1. Release the tw screws f the device frnt cver and remve the cver. 2. Psitin the device against the wall and mark the drilling hle lcatins, at a maximum distance f 50 m frm the inverter. D nt use the device as a drilling template as it may damage the enclsure. 3. Drill the hles and munt the device using screws and nuts. Fasten the unit t the wall. 4. Release the three internal screws at the bttm f the device, and remve the cable bracket. Figure 4: AC Switch cnnectins 5. Cnnect the lad wires t the terminal blcks (see Figure 4, and Figure 5).
