The indicator flashes red (see chapter Status codes on page 72). Eco Mode The Wattpilot is in Eco Mode. - Page 16 Meaning Ready The Wattpilot is ready for operation. The more LEDs light up, the higher the set charging current. A few blue LEDs light up = low charging current (e.g. 8 A). Several/all blue LEDs light up = high charging cur- rent (e.g.
- Page 17 Meaning Charging The LEDs indicate the energy sources. Non-illuminated LEDs run in a circle and indicate charging. Either 1- phase or 3-phase. Yellow LEDs = energy from PV surplus Green LEDs = energy from the battery White LEDs = energy from the grid Charging plug not plugged in The LEDs indicate the energy sources.
- Page 18 Meaning Earthing test deactivated The earthing test is deactivated. LEDs light up at the top, bottom, left, and right.

26). Phase The Fronius Wattpilot can automatically switch between 1‑phase and 3‑phase changeover charging. The automatic phase changeover enables charging with a low start-up power (1‑phase with 1.38 kWh) in the case of a PV surplus. In addition, 1‑phase charging has the advantage that the charging power can be regulated in smaller increments (0.23 kW) and a small PV surplus can be used more efficiently. - Page 22 The settings for the start-up power level and 3‑phase power level can be made under Cost optimization in the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app. The power level can only be regulated in increments of 1 ampere. The table be- low lists the charging current in amperes (A) and the corresponding charging power for 1‑phase and 3‑phase charging in kilowatts (kW).
- Page 23 This results in a power mix of self-consumption and grid supply. ▶ A start-up power level below 1.38 kW results in a power mix. Charging with PV surplus can be activated and adjusted in the Fronius Solar.wat- tpilot app (see Cost optimization on page 53).
