F203 Littelfuse NOTE: Please consult replacement of any fuse or circuit breaker with Pixii first. 1.5 Anti-islanding The PowerShaper incorporates both passive and active anti-islanding functionality. The passive methods included are under/over voltage, under/over frequency and rate of change of frequency detection. The active anti-islanding functionality uses the frequency shift method based on feedback from frequency variation in combination with a small reactive power perturbation.

2 different types of meters. NOTE: Measured data are used at the customer's own risk. The distribution company or Pixii is not responsible for any losses resulting from its use, including losses due to errors or omissions in the data.
Preparing installation site 2.3.2 Industrial grade energy meter The Pixii system has support for an energy meters from different manufacturers. Depending on type of the meter, external measuring transformers may be required. Currently, communication via Modbus/ RTU (RS485) is supported. This means that a cable (2-wire at least) needs to be connected from the meter to the controller in the system.
(DRED) as described in AS/NZS 4777.2 must be connected to the DRM-port of the PowerShaper. The DRM-port (-TF2) of the PowerShaper is utilized as an RJ45-connector -X22 located in the bottom of the cabinet as indicated by the picture below.

Electrical installation 4.5 Emergency disconnect switch Pixii system contains emergency trip device, which in case of emergency can disconnect whole system from the grid. For correct function, external switch with normally open contact and 230Vac backup power supply is required. Connect phase wire to terminal -X4:2 and neutral wire to terminal -X4:4. If 230Vac will be present on terminal -X4, system will disconnect.
Electrical installation 4.7 Customer alarm connection Pixii controller is equipped with 2 configurable relays for customer alarm functions. All relays contacts are accessible on connector terminals -X4:6 - -X4:16. Figure 4.23 Customer alarm connector terminals All relays are configurable through the software. It could be added different alarm/warning to each of them.
Electrical installation 4.8 External communication Pixii system is fully configurable through web interface. Therefore a network connection to controller is required. This can be done in different ways, depending on what type of network is present on site. The system has a Wi-Fi Access Point that can be activated to access the web interface for configuration and monitoring when at the site.
Pixii controller is not equipped with M-Bus port, therefore USB to M-Bus converter (optional kit) needs to be used. Connect it to free USB port on Pixii controller and connect Ethernet cable to RJ45 connector on converter. On meter side are 2 possible options for connecting communication cable. If only Pixii controller will be connected to AC meter, connect Ethernet cable directly to RJ45 connector on meter.

Electrical installation 4.13 Power modules The last step in the system installation is to install Pixii modules. Each power shelf contains 3 positions for modules. Each position is wired to different phase, starting with L1 from the left. To secure correct 3-phase operation, all 3 modules must be installed in every used shelf.
4.15 System label Pixii system is marked with 2 system labels. One label is located on the outside of the cabinet (right hand side seen from the front), and one is located inside the cabinet on the cabinet door. After connecting system to AC network, type of network needs to be clearly marked on both labels.
