Station – specifies the wireless station – terminal device.
Available only for WLS outputs that can be
activated after inserting the SC-Gateway to the regulator
Device index –
specifies the output on the wireless station - terminal device. Available only for WLS
outputs that can be activated after inserting the SC-Gateway to the regulator.
Function - used to set the functionality of the corresponding output:
a.
Relay- the output will operate in On/Off mode (as a relay).
b.
Proportional - (only for SSR outputs or supported WLS outputs) the output will operate in
proportional regulation mode, by modulating connected load's power according to the available
surplus energy.
This mode is only for controlling the output of resistive (thermal) appliances and requires the
connection of external power semiconductor relays (SSRs)! This mode can further increase the
flicker (fast changes in mains voltage or fast flashing of light bulbs and fluorescent lamps). Before
connecting the appliance to this mode, read the flicker recommendations in the Frequently Asked
Questions section of the manufacturer's website.
c.
PWM – (only for SSR outputs or supported WLS outputs) the output will operate in proportional
regulation mode, by modulating connected load's power according to the available surplus
energy, but the output signal will be PWM, see technical specification for PWM parameters.
Caution: The purpose of this mode is only to control the instantaneous power of external devices
which allow this and have corresponding input (such as some battery chargers and heating
pumps). This mode cannot be used if external solid state relays (SSRs) are connected to the SSR
outputs!
Label – used to assign a label for the relevant output. Label may contain a maximum of 16 characters
in ASCII encoding.
Priority – it is used to set priority for the relevant output. First priority is the highest; the eighth
priority is the lowest (in case of SC-Gateway presence it is possible to configure up to 14 priorities).
"Not used" means that the output is not activated. Output with higher priority will switch on "sooner"
and will switch off "later" (see the chapter Setting up main function). If you are using the "Sum of all
phases" control mode, you cannot select the same priority for two or more outputs (except for the
"not used" status). In the "Each phase independently" control mode this settings must be applied to
each phase. From the first (the highest) priority all the way down to the lowest priority. No gaps are
allowed in the priority settings, that is, you cannot set only the 1st priority and the 3rd priority,
without setting the 2nd priority as well. WATTconfig inspects priority and phase settings before
writing them into the controller.
Phase – if using the "Each phase independently" control mode you have to set the phase wire for each
output where the relevant load is connected to. The setting must correspond with the reality. Use the
TEST button to verify that.
Note:
The output phases may not correspond to the physical phase settings for the ILx inputs or ANDI
inputs. The reason is that for the inputs physical phase is assigned according to the actual connection
of the measuring module and for the outputs logical phase in relation to the inputs ILx.
3f mode – if using the "Each phase independently" control mode you can set special method of surplus
energy calculation to switch on or off this output. These special methods can be used only for
symmetrical three-phase loads (such as 3-phase heating elements, 3-phase heat pumps and others),
which have to be connected on 3-phase line. Connect those loads only via external 3-phase contactor
