1. Operation manual In addition to these assembly instructions, the current version of the Operating instructions for the device is available at www.my-pv.com. Wiring diagrams at the end of the document. 2. Intended use The electronic AC•THOR®i Photovoltaic-Power-Manager (in the following, AC•THOR®i for short) is designed for operating resistive loads such as electric immersion heater elements, electric boilers, electric convectors, electric heating mats or infrared panels.
Installation in rooms with high levels of humidity must comply with the relevant regulations. The ACTHOR has an ambient temperature rating of 0°C -40°C. If installed outdoors it must be able to function within this temperature range and be located in a shaded position inside an IP55 rated waterproof cabinet which allows airflow around the unit.
Optional Accessories Available (not included) my-PV Power Meter my-PV digital temperature sensor (cable length 5 m) with 8-pin plug 4. Safety instructions Installation must be carried out by a licensed electrician in accordance with AS/NZS 3000. For water heating applications compliance with AS/NZS 3500 is required.

All connected devices must be operated with phase and neutral conductor. Never connect three phase loads without neutral conductor! Otherwise this may cause damage to the AC•THOR®i or to the other loads connected to it. Only the supplied plugs must be used for connection to the AC•THOR®i.
5. Connections overview 230VAC 3.000 W max. Sensors 240VAC 3.600 W max. 6. Mounting 1. Remove the wall bracket from the rear of the AC•THOR®i unit. To do this, slide the lock underneath to the right. AC•THOR®i Assembly Instructions, Version 210326...

2. Then fix the wall bracket to the wall with three screws. Three screws and three wall-plugs are supplied. If the screws supplied are not suitable for the substrate, suitable screw must be obtained. 3. To fix it to the wall bracket, the AC•THOR®i is suspended in the wall bracket by the two long slots on top and then fixed in place by locking it underneath (slide to the left).
Do not immerse my-PV temperature sensor(s) directly in Water. Use a thermowell! For mains leads, use a cable duct of 60 mm depth. The cut-out measures 130 x 60 mm. 7. Electrical connection The AC•THOR®i is controlled by external signal sources by way of IP protocol using a standard Ethernet RJ45 cable.
The solar diverter (AC•THOR®i) circuit shall be protected by a 30 mA Type AC RCD installed in accordance with AS/NZS 3000. An isolating switch in accordance with clause 4.8.2.3 AS/NZS 3000:2018 shall be installed for the water heater. Where more than one circuit can supply the water heater, a warning sign shall be installed within the installation switchboard that the solar diverter circuit originates, and on the water heater.
If more than one probe is used, the cores can also be connected externally in parallel. 7.2. Electrical connection for multiple units All devices should be connected to appropriate AC circuits. Note that each AC•THOR®i takes up to 3.6 kW power (with relay output up to 7.2 kW). It makes sense to divide this between the phases on the grid.
