Configuring The Time Period - SMA sunny home manager User Manual

SMA Solar Technology AG
Example: Conflict between two loads
Two loads, for which you have configured an optional time period in each case, should only
be switched on if excess PV energy is available. As the amount of surplus PV energy is
currently only sufficient for one load, however, the load with the higher priority is switched on.
If both loads have the same priority, the load with the higher level of consumption is switched
on first.
Procedure:
• Set the slider to the desired level.

9.3.16 Configuring the Time Period

The time period defines in which time period the Sunny Home Manager can or must switch the
loads on. The configuration of time periods is only possible for loads that are connected to radio-
controlled sockets. You can set several time periods for each load.
By default, a daily time period is set so that the load is switched on within the time period (load
MUST be switched on). The time periods configured are shown as colored bars in the Time period

Shorter electrical endurance of the radio-controlled socket through the frequent
switching of loads
The more often the radio-controlled socket switches loads on and off, the shorter the electrical
endurance of the radio-controlled socket.
• When setting time periods and device operating times, ensure that the radio-controlled
socket does not have to switch loads on and off unnecessarily (for the electrical
endurance of the radio-controlled socket, see Section "Technical Data" in the installation
manual of the Sunny Home Manager).
Selecting the Time Period Type "Load Can Be Switched on" or "Load Must Be
Switched On"
This setting determines whether the load will definitely be switched on during the time period or
only if certain conditions have been met.
When you select the option Load can be switched on, you must subsequently configure the
conditions for switching on the load.

Explanation
Compulsory time period
Optional time period
Invalid time period configuration
It is possible that the time period overlaps other, already configured
time periods, or that the time period is too short for the entered mini-
mum switch-on time of the load.
