measuring transformer installed. Press on the utton to activate (orange) and deactivate
(grey). Usually ( y German law) a measuring transformer is required when the house
connection exceeds 63A.

Explanation of the web interface (PV load control)
ECO-Charging Ensures minimum charge through a PV-System and/or with
power from the power supply net if needed. Purchase of energy
from power supply net is only the case if AI-Mode is deactivated.
AI-mode nly available if EC -Charge Mode is activated (button will be
marked in orange). In AI-Mode the charging process will
automatically start in case of surplus PV-power or turn off when
there is too little PV-power. For this, section „Eco Min-Max
Ampere“ in the later configuration is the most important setting.
Fast charging Charge with maximum capacity of the charging station.
Manual charging Set the charging power manually.
Start charging Start the charging process.
Stop charging Stop the charging process.
Current charging
