Introduction Introduction Thank you for choosing eddi . Of course, we think you have made an excellent choice and are sure you will be very happy with the features, benefits and quality of this myenergi product. eddi is an automatic power controller for heaters. It 'tracks' available surplus power from a grid-tied PV or Wind turbine system and varies the power to the heater to match the surplus power, therefore ensuring all of the green energy is fully utilised.
If both 1 & 2 are lit together, the heaters are at maximum temperature ON/OFF and BYPASS switch This switch has three positions: eddi is on (this is the normal position) eddi is off (the power on indicator will be off)

Operation Boost Timer eddi can be programmed to 'boost' the heating for each heater at certain times. Boost, means that the heater will be at full power regardless of the amount of available export power. This means that power may be drawn from the mains grid supply during boost times.

(See Priority on page 19). If one or more boost times conflict for one heater, the boost will follow the latest time or longest duration. Cancelling Boost The boost can be cancelled at by pressing twice during a boost. eddi operation and installation manual...

The date and time are used for the Boost Timer and the savings calculations and therefore should be set correctly. In the event of a power-cut, eddi will still keep track of the time and date for a few days, so when power is restored the clock will not need to be reset.
Supply Grid - Phase The Phase setting is only used on 3-phase systems. It should be set to match the phase number that the eddi is wired to so that the power measurements are correct and that eddi responds to the correct phase when using the harvi wireless sensor.
– An self-powered wireless sensor that can be used along with myenergi load controlling devices such as eddi zappi and is able to report the grid or generation power information to the other devices wirelessly, this can greatly simplify installation.

Device Priorities The priority of each, load controlling linked device, can be set from any device with a display. This enables control of how the surplus energy is shared between them. The example below shows one eddi device, two zappi...
Installation Installation Mounting eddi is NOT suitable for installation outdoors. • Ensure the device always has adequate ventilation; do not block the vents or obstruct the airflow at the back of • the unit. must be fixed to a vertical surface eddi •...
Supply The eddi device should be connected to a single-phase 230V or 240V nominal AC supply. The supply should be from a dedicated 16A circuit breaker, or it can be from a hard-wired 13A fused spur outlet if the heater load is less than 3kW.

Grid Sensor must be on the same phase. If the generation is also three-phase and it is desired to consume surplus power on each phase, 3 eddi units can be installed provided there are suitable loads. Note: it is usually possible to split a 3-phase heating element into 3 individual elements by removing the links.
Page 27
In some cases it can be difficult or impractical to install a wired sensor. For example it may be the case that the eddi unit needs to be connected to a sub-board, rather than main consumer unit and two consumer units are in different buildings.
Installation Relay & Sensor Board eddi has the option to install a Relay & Sensor Board (available separately), this allows for many different wiring configurations and includes the following features: Two independent multifunction relays (16 Amp) • eSense input (isolated 230V detection for low tariff etc.) •...

0.0kW). Note; however, if the surplus power exceeds the rating of the heater then this cannot be achieved and some export power will be observed If power is being imported from the grid when the eddi is in Heating mode, it is likely that the Grid Sensor is improperly installed - see Grid Sensor Installation on page 26 If a Generation Sensor has been installed, the generated power will show at the top left of the main screen If the generation reading is missing, the most likely cause is the CT2 input is not enabled –...
Please refer to the Safety section (page 4) and be sure to read all of the installation sections before attempting to install the eddi A good level of electrical competence and a reasonable understanding of domestic plumbing systems is assumed for studying these application examples.
