Marlec Solar iBoost+ Installation And Operating Instruction page 3

Thank you for purchasing a Solar iBoost+.
Before use, please read these instructions carefully
These instructions provide information on the installation, operation and
programming of the unit. Please keep this booklet safe for future
reference.
The Solar iBoost+ is designed to be used in conjunction with micro-generation systems,
e.g. solar PV, where surplus energy generated can be stored within a domestic hot water
cylinder in the form of hot water. By monitoring the amount of energy being exported to
the National Grid the Solar iBoost+ unit will divert energy into an immersion heater when
the energy generated exceeds the amount of energy consumed within the property. Solar
iBoost+ controls the energy delivered to the immersion heater in proportion to that
exported.
Solar iBoost+ Features.

Up to two immersion heater connections, when the first immersion heater is
satisfied the energy flows automatically to the second immersion heater

Manual Boost and programmable Timed Boost (eg. For economy settings)

A single, battery powered, wireless sender with measurement clamp
