Safety requirements All installation and wiring work on the controller must only be carried out in a zero volt state. The opening, connection and commissioning of the device may only be carried out by competent personnel. While doing so, they must observe all lo- cal safety requirements.
Maintenance If treated and used correctly, the device itself will not require any maintenance. However, the use of a suitable sacrificial anode in the cylinder is recommended, and if the immersion heater is used more often than usual, it is necessary to check whether the material thickness is reduced (at least 2-3 times per year).
Introduction Introduction The ATON set comprises a CAN-EZ3A energy meter and a variable EHS-R immersion heater. These two devices communicate wirelessly with one another. The energy meter and immersion heat- er are connected at the factory. This means that no wireless connection settings are required. How- ever, information can be found in chapter Wireless system.
Factory settings Factory settings The CAN-EZ3A is programmed at the factory and this programming is described in more detail in the following pages. This programming can, of course, be changed or replaced with your own program- ming. The energy meter can be fully programmed via the display and control buttons/rotary dial, but we recommend using the PC software TAPPS2 for this.
Factory settings Functions A more detailed description of all function modules can be found in the corresponding operating instructions for freely programmable controllers (www.ta.co.at). The primary functionality comprises the Output control of the EHS-R immersion heater and an Ener- gy manager, in connection with a Comparison function. •...
Factory settings Datalogging The following values are logged at the factory: • EHS-R Temperature 1 (sensor input S1 of the immersion heater) • EHS-R Current output in kW • CAN-EZ3A Electrical power (total real power) • Function Energy meter (kWh total) Datalogging on SD card is deactivated at the factory.
Installation and connection Installation and connection – CAN-EZ3A energy meter The CAN-EZ3A is installed in a meter box in accordance with local regulations. It can be snapped on to a top-hat rail (DIN support rail TS35 to EN 50022). The 2-pole connectors of the current transformers are connected to the CAN-EZ3A and folded over the cores.
Installation and connection DL bus and CAN bus connections CAN bus CAN-Low, CAN-High, +12 V, earth (C-L, C-H The principles of bus cabling are described extensively in the manuals for the free- +12 V, GND) ly programmable controllers and must be observed. DL bus interface for DL sensors (e.g.
Installation and connection 3-phase measuring All 3 phase conductors (L1 - L3) are connected to voltage terminals L1-L3 and the neutral conductor to the N terminal. The 3 external hinged current transformers are connected to terminals I1 – I3 in the correct sequence and folded over the wires to be measured.
Installation and connection Installation and connection – EHS-R immersion heater With regard to the material, the immersion heater is suitable for installation in DHW cylinders, but due to the predominant electroplating in the cylinder, less no- ble metals than those of the immersion heater are damaged. The use of a suitable sacrificial anode in the cylinder and regular checking of the anode (at least 2-3 times per year) is recommended.
Installation and connection High limit safety cut-out (HLSC) The EHS-R has a sensor for the high limit safety cut-out. This is a PT1000 sensor in a sensor well between the heating elements. It is connected at the factory at the connection shown below. When a temperature of 95 °C is reached at the STB sensor, the immersion heater is deactivated.
Installation and connection Mains connection Phase Neutral conductor Earth conductor Heating elements The 3 heating elements are connected at the factory and fully wired. For any installation/mainte- nance work, ensure correct wiring/connection. The EHS-R has 3 heating elements: • 750 W controllable •...
Wireless system (CORA) Wireless system (CORA) Principles The wireless system comprises multiple CORA devices (e.g. CAN-EZ3A and EHS-R), which commu- nicate with one another, exchange data or transfer firmware. This functionality cannot fully replace the CAN bus. For the wireless system, the CAN-EZ3A has an external antenna. The wireless range is around 1000 m outdoors, and typically 30 m in buildings (through approx.
Wireless system (CORA) Relaying wireless signals CORA devices can relay signals from other devices. All required settings for this are carried out at the device, which transmits the signal to be relayed. Pairing with devices that simply relay signals is not required.
PWM control Control via PWM – without wireless connection To operate the EHS-R without a wireless connection (e.g. in conjunction with controller UVR16x2 or CAN-EZ3 and output extension AO4-DL), the immersion heater has a PWM input. 10-90% PWM cor- responds to 0-3000 W output, but operation only starts at min. 45 W (equates to around 12% PWM). Important: If an active wireless connection is available (paired and signals being received), the PWM input is inactive.
Notes on accuracy / Reset / LED status indicators Notes on accuracy The accuracy of all measured energies and energy flows depends on many factors and is to be sub- ject to closer consideration here. • PT1000 class B temperature sensors have an accuracy of +/- 0.55 K (at 50 °C). •...
Notes on accuracy / Reset / LED status indicators Energy meter Reset Pressing the reset button briefly (with a narrow-tip pen) restarts the energy meter (= reset). Total reset: pressing and holding down the button triggers a continuous tone, then a single high beep, followed by a total reset.
Button / Status LED Reset/pairing of the immersion heater The button is pressed using a narrow-tip pen. Double click (two clicks Allow pairing for 5 minutes (see chapter "Wireless system") within 2 seconds) The LED flashes green rapidly for 3 seconds to confirm. 10-second click Total reset (hold until the LED shows a green light for 1 second) Click once...
Button / Status LED Possible LED indicators on the immersion heater Control indicator Explanation Green, steady light Set output 0 W is preset wirelessly Green, slow flashing Set output > 0 W is preset wirelessly Set output > 0 W is preset via PWM input Green, quick flashing If the LED flashes rapidly for only 3 seconds, pairing has been per- mitted via the pushbutton.
Technical data Energy meter Important information about the measuring limits of the electrical energy meter: 1. If the effective power value is available as kW only, then cos phi must be observed. 2. The consumer load must lie within the specified power limits. 3.
