GENERAL INFORMATION

WATTrouter Mx is a programmable controller to optimize self-consumption of energy produced by
photovoltaic or wind power plant (hereinafter referred to as PV-plant). It is a smart home energy management
system. After correct installation and configuration, the controller perfectly optimizes self-consumption of
energy produced by your PV-plant. WATTrouter Mx consists of a current sensing module and the regulator
itself.
WATTrouter Mx offers the following functionalities:

Three-phase indirect current measurement.

Single phase detection of voltage necessary to determine the power direction in phase L1, for other
phases it is determined by software.

Evaluation of active power outputs in individual phases, necessary to determine the surplus of
produced electric power.

Regulation based on the sum of power outputs (summary surplus) from all three phases or based on
surplus in each phase.

Switching for up to 8 outputs (2 relays and 6 external solid state relays SSR) based on configured
priorities.

Optimal use of surplus energy produced by PV-plant on SSR outputs through the application of
proportional synchronous regulation of resistive loads, compliant to European standards EN 61000-3-2
and EN 61000-3-3. This regulation modulates connected load's power exactly according to the
available surplus energy.

Very short average dynamic response of the controller (up to 10 s)

Optional CombiWATT function used for switching loads under a combined mode where energy is
taken both from PV-plant and public grid (especially suitable for water heating and also for swimming
pool filtering system).

Input for low tariff signal (nightly low price electricity) for CombiWATT. This is for households where
double tariff rates will apply.

4 multi-purpose ANDI inputs for connection of external current transformers, impulse outputs of
external energy meters, and analog temperature sensors of type NTC or PT1000.

DQ input to connect up to 4 digital temperature sensors of type DS18x20.

Separated current sensing module and regulator for easy installation into existing household wiring.

WATTconfig software designed for Microsoft Windows, Linux and MAC OS X, provides comfortable
controller configuration and monitoring via USB, Ethernet or RS485 interfaces.

Integrated web interface allows comfortable controller configuration and monitoring using regular
Internet browser.

Real-time module backed with a lithium battery for advanced management of outputs and
CombiWATT function.

Daily, weekly, monthly and annual statistics.

Integrated MicroSD card.

Firmware update.
