Load Type
The Load Type should normally only be adjusted during
installation. If it is desired to change it, refer to the instal -
lation manual for the PWRmanager.
Relay(s) Assigned
Never touch the “Relay(s)” setting for any circuit. Only
use this setting to view which relays are associated with
specific loads in the home. Appliances like the dryer will
typically have two relays assigned. Plugs and lighting
typically use a single relay. This should only be adjusted
by the electrician wiring the unit.
Lockout
See
Figure 3-10
. To configure the load to be disabled
while the system is in back up state, select the Lockout
option on the circuit. Lockout loads will be shed immedi -
ately when the grid goes down and will be powered once
again when the grid returns. Use this setting to ensure
the batteries will last long enough during an extended
outage. This is the same as selecting Automatic - Lock -
out in the PWRview app and will be modified by changes
from the app.
Figure 3-10. Configuring Lockout
Minimum Off Time
Normally, this setting should be configured by the
installer based on the type of appliance on the circuit.
Contact the installer to adjust it. This setting will prevent
damage to some HVAC equipment that requires a mini -
mum off time.
When this setting is checked, the user may see a delay
after trying to enable this load in the PWRview app.
Add or Delete a Circuit
These steps should be done by the installer as each cir -
cuit is wired into the PWRmanager unit. If there is a need
to delete these circuits, or have new ones added, contact
the installer.
Configure load priorities
See
Figure 3-11
. If it is necessary to adjust priorities on
the circuits, tap on the arrows on the configuration
screen. The highest priority loads will be shed last and
will appear near the top of the list.Tap on the save button
once the priorities are set as desired.
