Load with Automatic Switching
The load must be non-program-controlled.
Devices such as heating elements or fan heaters have their own automatic switch-off. An integrated thermocouple ensures that the device automatically switches off upon reaching a configurable temperature threshold. The Sunny Home Manager registers this disconnection via the switching device connected to the load and also switches off the switching device for safety reasons. However, the switching device must first be able to detect whether the load is in operation or in standby mode. You have to enter this detection value. With these settings, you also avoid a premature disconnection of the load, so that it can also run for longer than the configured time period if necessary.

When controlled via a switching device, the heating element is switched on and off depending on the availability of PV energy within the time period defined. If the automatic switch-off is activated and the water has not yet reached the set temperature at the end of the time period, the heating element can continue to draw electric current from the switching device even though the time period has expired, until the target temperature is reached and the heating element has switched to standby mode on its own. The Sunny Home Manager recognizes the standby mode of the heating element and switches the switching device off. | |
