The Emergency Load Reduction mode is designed to prevent system overload by dynamically adjusting power consumption. This mode continuously monitors real-time data from connected sensors and ensures that the system operates within safe power limits. Relays will switch ON/OFF based on predefined thresholds, while dimmers will smoothly adjust power output to maintain system stability.

Step 1: General Power Limit

Enable Maximum Total Consumption Limit

  • Total Maximum Power (kW): [ input ] (Leave empty for unlimited)

📌 How It Works:

  • If enabled, the system will not exceed the defined power limit across all devices.
  • If left empty, the system will operate without restrictions.

Step 2: Relay Power Management

Enable Individual Relay Limits

Relay 1 – “Water Heater”

  • Max Power Consumption (kW): [ input ]

Relay 2 – “Battery Charger”

  • Max Power Consumption (kW): [ input ]

📌 Relay Behavior:

  • If power consumption remains below the set limit, the relay stays ON.
  • If power consumption exceeds the limit, the relay switches OFF to reduce load.

Step 3: Dimmer Power Managementment

Dimmer 1 – “Underfloor Heating”

  • Max Power Consumption (kW): [ input ]
  • Min Power Consumption (kW): [ input ]

Dimmer 2 – “Water Heater Boost”

  • Max Power Consumption (kW): [ input ]
  • Min Power Consumption (kW): [ input ]

📌 Dimmer Behavior:

  • If total power consumption exceeds safe limits, the dimmer will gradually reduce power to balance the load.
  • If power consumption drops below the minimum threshold, the dimmer will increase power output when possible.
  • Unlike relays, dimmers do not turn OFF completely but adjust smoothly to prevent sudden power loss.

Step 4: Priority Settings

Define Device Shutdown Priority (Select):

1️⃣ [ Select Device ]
2️⃣ [ Select Device ]
3️⃣ [ Select Device ]
4️⃣ [ Select Device ]

📌 How It Works:

  • If power consumption exceeds the limit, the system will disable lower-priority devices first.
  • If power consumption drops, the system will restore power to higher-priority devices first.

Step 5: Save & Apply Changes

Save Settings – Apply your configuration.
Reset to Default – Restore factory settings.

Best Practices for Optimization

  • Set realistic power limits based on your system’s capacity.
  • Prioritize critical devices (e.g., heating systems) over secondary loads (e.g., chargers).
  • Use dimmers strategically to avoid sudden power shutdowns.
  • Monitor real-time consumption to fine-tune power thresholds.

By properly configuring this mode, you can ensure energy efficiency, prevent overload, and maintain uninterrupted operation of your system.
