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. The following device key is required for online registration of the unit.
2. Intended use The electronic AC•THOR®9s Photovoltaic-Power-Manager (in the following, AC•THOR®9s for short) is designed for operating resistive loads such as electric immersion heater elements, electric boilers, electric convectors, electric heating mats or infrared panels. The unit controls the output voltage according to external signals (temperatures, Ethernet- and other control signals) linearly and thus the power output of the connected load.

5. When installing in an electrical cabinet, ensure sufficient cooling, for example through ventilation slots in the switch cabinet door. 6. A minimum lateral distance of 7cm must be observed. 7. When installing several devices side by side, a minimum distance of 10cm must be maintained 8.
7. Electrical connection The AC•THOR®9s is controlled by external signal sources by way of IP protocol using a standard Ethernet RJ45 cable. Protection of the mains connection for the AC•THOR®9s may not exceed 16 A per phase (tripping characteristic B or C). The PE conductor and the neutral conductor must be connected! Pay attention to other loads on the line circuit, this may trip the circuit breaker!
7.1. Operation on one or two phases The device is also suitable for operation on one or two phases. Phase L1 must be connected (power supply). In order to guarantee a perfect control function, outputs whose corresponding phase is not supplied on the input side must not be connected! L1 IN →...
8. Operation displays The unit has a touch screen to show operating conditions and for ease of operation. Never touch the screen with pointed objects or those having sharp edges! Use the supplied stylus for programming. The holder for the stylus can be stuck on to a surface on or close to the unit with the adhesive patch.
In a polluted environment, the air inlets and outlets should be checked regularly for cleanliness. If necessary, the device can be cleaned through the air slots with a vacuum cleaner. The AC•THOR®9s cannot work at maximum efficiency if the air supply is inadequate! 10.
