2. Intended use
The electronic AC•THOR®9s Photovoltaic-Power-Manager (in the following,
AC•THOR®9s for short) is designed for operating resistive loads such as
electric immersion heater elements, electric boilers, electric convectors,
electric heating mats or infrared panels. The unit controls the output voltage
according to external signals (temperatures, Ethernet- and other control
signals) linearly and thus the power output of the connected load.
The AC•THOR®9s is controlled by the my-PV Power Meter or can be
combined with products such as inverters of different manufacturers (the
current list of manufacturers can be seen at https://www.my-
pv.com/en/info/compatible-manufacturers .
The AC•THOR®9s is designed for fixed installations indoors.
Installation in rooms with high levels of humidity must comply with the
relevant regulations.
The ACTHOR has an ambient temperature rating of 0°C -40°C. If installed
outdoors it must be able to function within this temperature range and be
located in a shaded position inside an IP55 rated waterproof cabinet which
allows airflow around the unit. Forced ventilation may need to be
considered. Contact [e-mail] for further advice regarding
installing the unit in an outdoor enclosure.
Any application other than those described above may cause damage.
Furthermore, this may lead to hazards such as a short circuit, fire, electric
shock, etc. The safety instructions and the information on handling in this
manual and in the Operating Instructions must be followed!
The product complies with the statutory, national, and European
requirements. The names of the company and products are trademarks of
my-PV GmbH. All rights reserved.
You will find a comprehensive description of the device’s functions and
settings using the display or via web interface in the Operating Instructions.

4. Safety instructions
•Installation must be carried out by a licensed electrician in
accordance with AS/NZS 3000.
•For water heating applications compliance with AS/NZS 3500 is
required.
•Do not open the AC•THOR®9s. The device does not contain any
parts that may be repaired by the user.
•Only pure resistive electric loads such as immersion heater
elements, boilers, convectors, heating mats or infrared panels can
be connected to the AC•THOR®9s.
•The loads connected must be suitable for variable supply voltages
between 0-230 V AC (in no circumstances units with electronic
power supply!).
•All connected devices must be operated with phase and neutral
conductor.
•Never connect 400 V loads without neutral conductor!
Otherwise this may cause damage to the AC•THOR®9s or to the
other loads connected to it.
•Only the supplied plugs must be used for connection to the
AC•THOR®9s.
•Operation of heating systems incorporating electronic thermostats
is not possible.
•For heating water, only heaters with an integral safety temperature
limiter may be connected.
•The AC•THOR®9s is designed for fixed installations indoors.
•Comply with the relevant standards when mounting and
connecting the device.
•The AC•THOR®9s housing may heat up during operation. Only
mount the unit on non-combustible surfaces.
•The AC•THOR®9s is only intended for use in dry rooms indoors.
Otherwise there is a risk of fatal electric shock!
•Installation in rooms with a high level of humidity must comply
with relevant regulations.

AC•THOR®9s Assembly Instructions, Version 200910 9
•Do not install the device in an environment contaminated with
ammonia.
•Do not install the device in a dusty environment.
•The ventilation holes of the housing must not be covered.
•Avoid exposure to high temperatures (> 40 °C), low temperatures
(< 0 °C) or direct sunlight during storage and operation.
•The AC•THOR®9s must be connected to a nominal voltage of 3 x
230 V AC, 50/60 Hz. The neutral conductor is necessary!
•Protection of the mains connection for the AC•THOR®9s may not
exceed 16 A per phase (tripping characteristic B or C).

6. Mounting
1. Remove the wall bracket from the rear of the AC•THOR®9s unit. To
do this, slide the lock underneath to the right.
2. Then fix the wall bracket to the wall with three screws. Three
screws and three wall-plugs are supplied. If the screws supplied are
not suitable for the substrate, suitable screw must be obtained.
3. To fix it to the wall bracket, the AC•THOR®9s is suspended in the
wall bracket by the two long slots on top and then fixed in place by
locking it underneath (slide to the left).
4. Check the AC•THOR®9s is securely fixed!
