stations, large number of switching sources, etc.), even though the inverter does not work. The cause
may be even the inverter itself. In this case, the regulator displays small amounts of positive active
power in either phase wire. Reason for this is significant reactive power, which is drawn by those
devices and measured by WATTrouter near the "recognition line" between production and
consumption. Also watt meters produced by different manufacturers behave in similar way. This item
partially tries to resolve this issue by setting additional offset valid for each phase wire.
For example, if the production limit equals to 0.05 kW, CombiWATT mode will already be initiated
(provided that also other requirements for the initiation of this mode are met), even if the production
falls below 0.05 kW in each phase.

CombiWATT – Energy counter reset – this field is used to reset energy counters, which represent the
reset of the "Supplied energy"-fields in the main window. You have two options:
a) At sunrise: counters are reset if the time equals the sunrise time valid for this day.
b) At fixed time: counters are reset if the time is the same as the time set in the field called "Fixed
time for energy reset".

Fixed time of energy reset – it specifies a fixed time for energy counter reset mode according to fixed
time (the previous paragraph, mode b).
Geographic location:

Latitude - enter the latitude (in degrees) here. The value is used to calculate the sunrise time and
therefore, values specified in degrees are precise enough.

Longitude - enter the longitude (in degrees) here. The value is used to calculate the sunrise time and
therefore, values specified in degrees are precise enough.
Tip: By changing the longitude you may modify the sunrise time in order to reset energy counters according
to your preferences, for example, based on how large area is covered by shadow, etc. If you are not sure, do
not modify these values. The default geographic location is set to Central Europe (CZ).
Other settings:

Language - select the language which you want the WATTconfig ECO software to use after restart. The
Custom item may be used for any other, still not supported language. If you want to use this option,
you have to manually translate strings in the custom.xml file into the language you want to use.

Reset unit on configuration write - check this field if you want to restart the controller after each
configuration was written.

Default tab - Set the tab in the WATTconfig you wish to appear when you launch the program. This
setting is stored by WATTconfig software on PC hard drive.

Default statistics tab - (since firmware version 1.7) set the subtab on Statistics tab you wish to appear
when you launch the WATTconfig program or web interface. This setting is stored by WATTconfig
software on PC hard drive.
Table of wireless stations:
Note: This function is only accessible once the SC-Gateway is inserted.

MAC address-in this field the MAC address of connected wireless device is listed

Name tag- in this field, the wireless devices can be labeled. The label is displayed in drop-down box at
the station field of WLS wireless outputs.
