AEA 5000 - Self-consumption cabinet with storage
1. Product presentation
The AEA 5000 cabinet was developed with the aim of delivering a reliable power supply from various
sources of conventional and renewable energy.
This cabinet promotes self-production and facilitates self-consumption of the electrical energy
generated, in order to reduce the consumption of electricity from the electrical network.
The AEA 5000 cabinet offers the possibility of measuring and optimizing a single-phase consumption
point and controlling a resistive domestic hot water tank (option).

1.9 Operating principle
Energy from the renewable source is used for consumption as a priority. If there is excess energy
production, it is stored in the battery. If the battery reaches a full charge level, the power of the panel
will be limited so as not to send power to the grid (in case of sale to the grid, refer to paragraph 2.4)
For the case where the renewable energy production is insuffisante, the additional energy needed for
consumption is provided primarily by the battery. If the battery reaches a low charge level, the
missing energy is drawn from the power grid.
In case the demand is higher than the maximum power of the cabinet, the additional power is
supplied by the grid.

neutral to terminal 1 of the XP terminal block, phase to
terminal 2 and earth to the adjacent earth socket.
2.2.6 Connecting the measuring torus
Connect the ORANGE to the XTC terminal block, fil red to
terminal 1 and fil yellow to terminal 2. Attach the ORANGE to
the phase of the incoming customer on the main line of the
dwelling afin to measure all consumption: the flèche in the
ORANGE must be directed to the mains. When installing the
extension cable for the toroid, be careful to respect the
following connection: red fil on the left and yellow fil on the
right as shown in the photo (max length 15m).

2.2.8 Switching on the batteries
Warning
To be done at power up: the batteries are switched on by operating the circuit breaker QF30.
The LEDs on the batteries flash and then turn fixe green.
Caution
This action closes the circuit and there is now voltage at the XBA and QF30 terminals.
2.2.9 Option: Router configuration
The router must be supplied with 12V with the cable coming from the terminal block XC. It must also
be connected with the RJ45 cable. View the photo.

2.3 Option: Hot water tank management
2.3.1 Control of the domestic hot water tank
The AEA 5000 offers the possibility of controlling a resistive DHW tank in order to optimise
the use of photovoltaic energy.
If the option is activated, the heating of the hot water tank will take priority over the charging of the
batteries.
This means that the surplus solar energy will be used first to heat the water in the tank.
The heating is triggered when the surplus photovoltaic power is greater than the building's
consumption and only at peak hours.
consumption of the building and only during peak hours. The heating power will be approximately
equal to the surplus power. If there is no more surplus, the heating will gradually stop using the
energy from the
If there is no surplus, the heating will be switched off gradually, using the energy from the batteries at
that time.
The existing HP/HC contactor remains functional in its HP/HC or forced on principle,
It controls an internal contactor in the cabinet which inhibits the dimmer. In off-peak hours, the
storage tank is heated in the
In off-peak hours, the storage tank is heated in a conventional manner and no longer uses the dimmer

2.4 Option: Sale of energy from the grid
When this option is activated the priorities are to ensure the power supply to the building and the
charging of the batteries. If there is a surplus, instead of curbing the production it will be directed to
the grid. This option requires a contract to sell to the grid. To activate or deactivate this option
contact your installer.
Case of sale to the network: If the power produced is sufficient, the surplus will be sent to the
network In the event that both options are activated, the order of priority will be as follows:
1. Consumption of the building
2. Heating of the balloon
3. Charging the batteries
4. Network sales
2.5 Option: Backup output
2.5.1 Management of the backed-up output
The AEA 5000 has a back-up output, which provides a temporary source of power in the
event of a power failure, voluntary or otherwise. This output is powered when the system is
powered up and remains powered if the mains input is cut off.
The batteries take over the mains supply on this back-up output by generating an AC
output voltage (230VAC), similar to the mains input.
2.5.2 Connection of the back-up output
Connect the uninterruptible power supply to the XP terminal block, neutral to terminal 3
and phase to terminal 4.

3. Putting into operation
3.1 Power on / off
The front disconnectors are omnipolar switching devices that can be used for emergency breaking as
well as for completely de-energizing the cabinet.
The switching devices on the front are preferably open when the cabinet is de-energized
See visual section 1.2.
Power On
1. Activate QF10 (mains circuit breaker in inverter)
2. Activate QF11 (if present)
3. Activate QF30 (battery circuit breaker)
4. Activate QF20/21 (photovoltaic circuit breaker)
Switching off
1. Switch off QF10 (inverter input mains breaker)
2. Switch off QF11 (if present)
3. Switch off QF20/21 (photovoltaic circuit breaker)
4. Switch off QF30 (battery circuit breaker)
Warning
There is still the mains voltage at the XP terminal block. To do this, the power supply must
be cut upstreamt.
3.2 Control of correct operation
To check that it is working properly, you will have to check the MyHome & me application (https://
myhomeandme.fr/) to see that the information is present and that it is consistent.
