Import / Export Power The power being either imported or exported from or to the grid (kW). The direction of the arrows indicate if the property is currently importing power (left) or exporting power (right) The size of the arrows is proportionate to the level of power being imported / exported, When the property is neither importing or exporting power the figure will be 0.0kW and there will no animated arrows.

The EV is not connected to In this example the last charging session delivered 20.8kWh of energy to the EV and 80% of that energy came from the solar panels. is waiting for sufficient surplus power from the microgeneration system. This screen will be shown in ECO+ mode as it's only in this mode that charging will stop if there is not enough surplus power.

The EV is charging. In this example the car is charging in ECO+ mode at 1.6kW, there is no import or export from the grid (0.0kW) and the EV battery has charged by 8.9kWh since the car started. The EV is fully charged. The charge energy used during the last charge is displayed at the bottom right (20.0kWh in this case) and the 'green contribution' is also shown (40% in this example).

has three different charging modes which can be selected simply by pressing the buttons when the main screen is showing. The charge mode can be changed before or during a charge. FAST ECO+ Regardless of the charge mode used, all of the surplus electricity is used but special charge modes limit the amount of grid electric used.
Page 12
The Manual Boost function can only be used when charging in ECO or ECO+ mode. When boosting, the charge rate is set to maximum (just like FAST mode), until a set amount of energy has been stored in the EV's battery. After which, will revert back to ECO or ECO+ mode.
Page 13
When charging in ECO or ECO+ mode, press until SMART BOOST is shown. The SMART BOOST icon will show including the target time and the pre-set energy amount (7.00am and 17kWh respectively, in this example screen shot). will then test the EV for a few seconds, to determine the maximum charge rate.
Page 14
When using ECO or ECO+ charge modes, can be programmed to 'boost' the current charge at certain times. When boosting, the charge rate is set to maximum (just like FAST mode), regardless of the amount of available surplus power. This means that power may be drawn from the mains grid supply during boost times. There are four editable time slots which can be set to operate for certain days of the week.

– Sets the maximum current that the will draw (including when boosting and FAST mode). This is useful if the supply current is limited, for instance, if is connected on a 16A circuit instead of a 32A. – Sets the limit that can be drawn from the grid connection (i.e. the maximum import current or the main fuse rating). Example: A property may have a grid supply limit of only 65A, several appliances are on, the property is consuming 12kW (52A) to supply these appliances and the user wants to charge in FAST mode.

Up to six devices can be wirelessly linked together. By linking devices, you can use more of your own energy or have more control and visibility. Devices available now are: A microgeneration energy diverter that uses surplus power to heat water or rooms rather than exporting to the grid.

Most device types have settings which can only be changed via the Linked Devices menu. For example, have a settings for priority and has settings to configure its CT inputs (see Device Priorities page 26).

Installation Current Transformers (CTs) are used to measure current at various places of the installation. For example, the Grid connection point, the solar/wind inverter or a static battery system. Installation of a CT to monitor the Grid connection point is required for ECO modes, Other CTs are optional and can be purchased separately.

CTs can be also used to limit the current drawn by devices to avoid overloading circuits; this is sometimes referred to as load balancing. There are four different ways to limit current and they can be used alone or combined for more complex situations.

has a number of protection features built into the device to make it safe and simple to install. The RCD (Residual Current Device) will trip the output from if there is an electrical fault to ground. The RCD is similar to the protective devices found in most domestic consumer units (the “fuse box”) but the standards for electric vehicle charging require additional protection for small DC leakage currents.
