TIP: If not all three outputs of a three-phase heating element are used for boosting,
control power is still available in case of excess energy!
From Ethernet firmware version a0020400 applies
The frequency mode is no longer a separate operating mode. Instead, frequency control is
selectable as a signal source. This means that the operating modes M1 to M7 can now be used in AC
off-grid systems.
A firmware update on a unit in "M8 frequency mode" automatically switches it to the operating
mode "M1 hot water" and "frequency" is set as the signal source.
For more information, see chapter 7 Frequency control.
For settings specific to the different operating modes, please see the chapter "Operating modes".
Under the settings these are accessed on the first sheet "Setup 1/X“ and some of them on sheet
two, "Setup 2/X".
Time zone: The time zone can be set for the time. In addition, summer time is activated for Europe.
Date: The date can be entered in the format dd.mm.yy.
Time: The time can be entered in the format hh:mm:ss.
NTP server: (NTP = Network Time Protocol) As long as the router provides an Internet, the
AC
•THOR draws its time information automatically from the Internet. However, the respective time
zone is not specified. NTP-Timeserver-address can be changed if necessary. The factory setting is
131.130.251.107.
With a direct connection from the AC•THOR to the my
-PV power meter, there is
no Internet connection. Hence the time cannot be taken!
IP DHCP/static: As standard, DHCP is activated, i.e., the unit will get an IP address from the router
to which it is connected. This only works when the router is configured as a DHCP server. If no
DHCP server is active in the grid or if a static assignment is required, a fixed IP address is needed.
The settings have to fit with the router, otherwise the device become invisible in
the network!
IP address: can only be set when "Static IP" has been selected and there is no direct connection to
the my-PV power meter.
Subnet mask: can only be set when "Static IP" has been selected and there is no direct connection
to the my-PV power meter.
Gateway address: can only be set when "Static IP" has been selected and there is no direct
connection to the my-PV power meter.
DNS server: can only be set when "Static IP" has been selected and there is no direct connection to
the my-PV power meter.
Display duration: the number of seconds elapsing until the display is turned off can be set. A value
between "10" and "250" seconds can be entered.
Display brightness: brightness of the display can be adjusted in ten steps.
