1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before using this device, be sure to read and understand safety rules:
• Do not connect the load with a capacity more than 3.6 kW to every socket of the device.
• The automatic network load controller (АNLС) is designed to operate inside premises only. The de-
vice operation in high humidity conditions is prohibited.
• АNLСoperation with mechanical damages on its case is prohibited.
• Do not connect АNLСto sources with nonsinusoidal voltage, e.g. UPS.
• It is recommended to connect АNLСto a grounded socket.
• Room temperature during АNLСoperation must be from +10 to +35 °С.
• Do not use abrasive materials or organic compounds (alcohol, petrol, solvents etc.) to clean АNLС.
• If signs of failures are detected (for example, the output voltage absence in sockets), mechanical
damages, excessive heating of the device or odor, it is necessary to unplug the device immediately
from the socket and address to a service center. See the list of authorized service centers on web-site
www.real-el.com.
• Do not open or repair the device by yourself. It must be repaired by the qualified personnel only.

3. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Purpose
Automatic network load controller (АNLС) is designed to organize the joint operation of two inde-
pendent electrical devices, the total power of which exceeds a limit of a permissible power of a power
supply line without automatic protection operation of the line and functional failure of the powered
devices. Principle of its operation consists in using pauses in operation of some household applian-
ces (boiler, convector, iron etc.), which can be disconnected temporally. You can connect to the net-
work (3.6 kW), for example, a washing machine and boiler with a capacity of 2.2 kW and 2 kW accor-
dingly. Their simultaneous connection without АNLСwill result in disconnecting an input circuit
breaker and the power supply network overload. АNLСreduces the load to wiring and promotes
operation safety of powerful household appliances. Therefore, the application of АNLСprovides a con-
sumer with a simple connection method of additional electrical devices to the power supply network
with insufficient power.

4. CONNECTION AND OPERATION
Attention! The device must operate in the power supply network protected by an automatic
circuit breaker with the interrupting current not more than 16 А.
• Plug АNLС’s power cord into a standard socket of the home power supply system 230 V/50 Hz
(see the tentative connection diagram in Fig. 2). Indicators and active.
• Connect one of household electric appliances to the second socket the operation of which is
uncritical to the short-time power supply failures (for example, electric water heater, electric con-
vector, floor heating electrical system etc.).
• Connect an electrical device to the “Priority” socket , the operation of which is required at the
moment and the power supply failure to which is inadmissible (for example, automatic washing
machine and dishwashing machine, electric pump of the water supply system, electric kettle, mic-
rowave oven, hair dryer etc.).
• If a device connected to the “Priority” socket consumes more than 100 W, the power supply to
the second socket is disconnected automatically. At that, the indicator is not active. The power
supply to the second socket is recommenced automatically after 2 seconds after power reduction
consumed by a device plugged in the “Priority” socket below 100 W (sleep mode, timer mode etc.).
When the device connected to the “Priority” socket starts to operate at full capacity, the cycle recurs
once again.
• Example of АNLСoperation is given in Fig. 2. A washing machine plugged in the “Priority” socket
is preset in the timer mode. While the timer of the washing machine does not start the washing mode,
the water heater plugged in the second socket will continue to operate. As soon as the washing
machine starts to operate, the second socket will be disconnected until the washing process is over
(when the second socket is disconnected, indicator is not active).
