    (all three LEDs blinking) Plug in AC ELWA-E power plug All 3 LEDs of the AC ELWA-E are on for approx. 10 seconds (device boots), afterwards all 3 LEDs are blinking. The device is now in Setup-Mode Disconnect existing Wi-Fi connections on the laptop to avoid possible network-conflicts Connect Laptop to AC ELWA-E via standard Rj45-cable („patch-cable“)

    This option is disabled as a factory preset („Off/Aus“). It is intended as “winter-mode” when the normal heating system does the space heating and additionally ensures the hot water. In this operating mode AC ELWA-E exclusively uses excess energy. In „On/Ein (Summer/Sommer)“ mode, hot water securing is made regularly up to the desired temperature at the time windows defined in the setup.

    “Off/aus” is selected or the boost mode is deactivated by the time control. Time Settings In case of an available internet connection via a router, AC ELWA-E gets its time setting automatically from the web but it doesn’t determine the particular time zone. That information can be transferred from the Laptop/PC by pressing the „Save/Speichern“...
  • Page 8: Control Settings

    Control Settings In this section the choice of the signal source for the AC ELWA-E is made. As a factory preset the control mode „Auto Detect“ is present. The device automatically searches for compatible sources and adjusts itself to them.

    The function „Block / Sperre“ allows to define a time window within AC ELWA-E must not run. Unlike the two time frames for hot water securing the transition to the following day is possible (Start Hour is higher than Stop Hour).
  • Page 10 Settings on Slaves If an AC ELWA-E has a higher device number than 1 (see Basic settings) and if it has not yet been assigned to a master, a corresponding indication appears above the menu bar. If an AC ELWA-E has a higher device number than 1 (see Basic settings) and if it is already assigned to a master, a corresponding indication appears above the menu bar.

    The IP address now leads directly to the Web interface of the respective slave as a hyperlink. Scanning is performed via UDP port 16124. Firewalls (or specific router settings) may prevent the AC ELWA-E from being found. (see Placing into operation with router) IP Settings...

    Adjust fuse type of the circuit (13A/ 16A) With factory preset AC ELWA-E can perform up to 3.000 W (16 A). For circuits with 13 A fuses the power consumption can be limited to 2.500 W (setting on the AC ELWA-E or via Web-Interface possible).

    The setting can be reversed. For this purpose repeat procedure. Adjust temperature for automatic hot water securing (Boost) The AC ELWA-E can ensure hot water in the absence of excess energy. This function is deactivated in the factory preset. The automatic hot water securing only works when it is activated in the Web-Interface!

    Ethernet interface is not possible because of security reasons. This firmware has to be clearly distinguished from the firmware of the mainboard, which is only uploaded in exceptional cases via a "my-PV USB-Interface" via the infrared interface at the upper side of the AC ELWA-E! Procedure: Download the software package at www.my-pv.com...
