E.R.S MINI is designed to be connected to an AC supply network with a nominal supply of 230V / 50Hz. ERS MINI is designed to work alongside a grid connected renewable generator such as a wind or solar system. E.R.S MINI does not connect directly to the generation system and therefore will not effect its operation or any tariff rate that may be associated with it. -

2. Safety Information 2.1 Appropriate Usage PowerFlow E.R.S MINI is a grid connected energy flow controller diverter designed solely to be used to- gether with any grid connected solar PV or wind generation system. It can be used in energy battery back up or off grid systems provided the electricity network complies to the appropriate grid standard. -

3. Product Description PowerFlow E.R.S MINI is a grid connected energy diversion system which converts surplus AC electrical energy, or export, from any grid connected solar or wind generator into heat via a hot water or space heating resistive load element. By performing this function, surplus energy generation, which is unable to be used, can be stored and used at a later time when demand for hot water or heating is required. -

9. Display and Control Elements: Take note of all control elements before first commissioning. 20 LED Power The serial number is Manual Boost Button Bar Indicator located on the left had end plate 9.1 Switch ON and OFF During installation, a 20A double pole switch with neon should be installed close to the ERS device. This acts as an isolation switch should the user wish to isolate the ERS unit from the mains supply. -
Page 15: Using The Manual Boost
9.3 Using the Manual Boost Button The manual boost button is designed to enable the user to provide supplementary power to the heating load should it be required. To enable the manual boost, push the button once, an audible ‘click’ can be heard and the LED will turn on indicating the manual boost has been started. -

9.6 Over Temperature ERS MINI has an internal temperature sensor for safety. If an over temperature situation occurs, the cen- tre 3 LEDs will illuminate and ERS will shut down for 2 minutes. After this period, ERS will attempt to re-start automatically. -
Page 17: Commissioning
Only energise the system once all of the above has been completed. 10.2 System Testing PowerFlow E.R.S MINI is an intelligent device with no initial setup required. It automatically detects the import/export voltage and current, and the size of the connected loads making commissioning simple. -
Page 18: Adjusting The Existing Heating System
IMPORTANT: ERS MINI does not have the ability to be over ridden in this way and is therefore not suita- ble for this application. It is advised to use the ERS PRO product with a connected external timer so as this essential override function can be performed. -
