Safety Rules General Remarks The device has been manufactured in accordance with the state of the art and the recognised safety rules. However, incorrect operation or misuse may result in: Injury or death to the operator or third parties Damage to the device and other property of the operator Inefficient operation of the device All persons involved in commissioning, maintaining and servicing the device must:...
The Ohmpilot corresponds to protection class IP 54 and is protected against spray water from all sides. In order to keep warming of the Ohmpilot to a minimum, do not expose it to direct sunlight. Install the Ohmpilot in a protected position. The Ohmpilot must only be installed and operated at an ambient tempera- ture of 0-40°C.
The Ohmpilot is designed to be installed vertically on a vertical wall. Explanation of Symbols - Installation Position Do not install the Ohmpilot horizontally. Do not install the Ohmpilot on a sloping surface. Do not install the Ohmpilot on a sloping surface with its connection sockets facing upwards.
The direction of air flow within the Ohmpilot is from the bottom to the top If the Ohmpilot is installed in an enclosed space, then forced-air ventilation must be pro- vided to ensure adequate heat dissipation. IMPORTANT! The maximum cable length from the output of the Ohmpilot to the load...
Qualified The information on servicing contained in these operating instructions is Personnel only intended for qualified personnel. An electric shock can be fatal. Do not carry out any activities other than those listed in the documentation. This also applies even if you are qualified to do so. All cables and leads must be secure, undamaged, insulated and adequately dimensioned.
Ohmpilot activates phase 2 in addition and phase 1 can again control the surplus in a continuously variable manner between 3 - 6 kW. If the available power is greater than 6 kW, the Ohmpilot adds phase 3 and phase 1 again controls the surplus between 6 and 9 kW in a continuously variable manner.

(e.g. fan heater) will lead to destruction of the load. WARNING! No electronic thermostats may be used in the loads. The use of electronic thermostats will lead to destruction of the Ohmpilot and/or the load. Mechanical temperature switches must be used.
Warning Notices Warning notices and safety symbols are located on the left-hand side of the Ohmpilot. on the Device These warning notices and safety symbols must not be removed or painted over. The notices and symbols warn of incorrect operation that could result in serious injury and damage to property.
IMPORTANT! Depending on the surface, different types of fixings are required for Plugs and mounting the Ohmpilot. The fixings are therefore not included in the scope of supply for Screws the Ohmpilot. The fitter is personally responsible for selecting the correct fixings. The Ohmpilot must be mounted with four screws.
Fronius Smart Meter Integrating the A Fronius Smart Meter is required for operation of the Ohmpilot, so that the surplus Fronius Smart energy can be measured. For integration of the Fronius Smart Meter, an inverter with Meter Datamanager 2.0 and software version V3.8.1-x or higher and/or a Datamanager Box (from software version 3.8.1-x) is necessary.
Ohmpilot. Press 2x WLAN access point is activated for 30 minutes so that settings can be implement- ed on the Ohmpilot via the Fronius Solar web app. Press 3x Boost mode - dimmer level is activated for 4 hours at 100%, L2 and L3 are switched through.
Neutral conductor must be implemented (this can generally also be retrofitted) NOTE! A mechanical temperature switch simplifies commissioning and use. If no mechanical temperature switch is available, a temperature sensor can also be connected to the Ohmpilot in order to limit the maximum temperature. (See "Temperature limitation") Example for...

IMPORTANT! On the output side, it must be ensured that only purely resistive loads are connected. IMPORTANT! The maximum cable length from the output of the Ohmpilot to the load (heating element) must not exceed 5 m on EMC grounds.

This may result in electricity being sourced from the grid. The maximum temperature must be set on the heating element thermostat. If the heating element does not have a thermostat, the Ohmpilot can also carry out this task as an alternative (see "Optional Settings" section).

Datamanager. By controlling the Ohmpilot, the Datamanager adjusts any sur- plus energy that is available to zero. In detail, this takes place by continuously adjusting the heating element connected to the Ohmpilot and by targeted switching on of the heat pump.

If the heating element does not have a thermostat, the Ohmpilot can also carry out this task as an alternative (see "Optional Settings" section). NOTE! This function can also be combined with a 3-phase heating element. 1. The section "Establishing the Data Connection" describes how you can access the Ohmpilot website.

The maximum temperature must be set on the heating element thermostat. If heating element 1 (10) does not have a thermostat, the Ohmpilot can also carry out this task as an alternative (see "Optional settings" section). However, it is imperative that heating element 2 (12) has a thermostat.
Possible The data connection is primarily required so that the inverter or Datamanager can share Communication default values with the Ohmpilot. For some applications, however, it is also necessary to Channels implement settings via the Ohmpilot website. There are 3 possible communication channels:...
Establishing a 1. Connect the bus cabling (B) to the Ohmpilot. (The bus cabling is carried out in parallel Connection via via the TX+, TX- and GND cables with the Fronius Smart Meter and the Fronius Modbus RTU inverter or Datamanager 2.0).
The inverter automatically searches for the Ohmpilot, with the search process taking up to 5 minutes. If the red LED is unlit and the green LED is flashing, the Ohmpilot is work- ing correctly.

IMPORTANT! When the access point is opened, it is not possible to scan the WLAN networks. A static IP address can be assigned to the Ohmpilot via the web interface. The Ohmpilot can then be reached at http://ohmpilotW.local or at the fixed IP address assigned.
