Configuration Settings
All settings are described in the
Main Menu
section; however, the more commonly altered settings are described in
more detail below.
15.1
Time & Date
The date and time are used for the Boost Timer and the savings calculations and therefore should be set correctly.
In the event of a power-cut, and providing the
zappi
has a connection to the internet the
zappi
will update the
time and date automatically once the power is restored.
Even if the
zappi
does not have an Internet connection its internal clock will continue keep track of the date / time
for approx. 24 hours.
Time is always in 24-hour format, but the date format can be changed.
zappi
will automatically adjust the clock for Daylight Savings Time (DST) as long as Auto DST is enabled, and the
correct time zone is selected.
The following Time and Date settings are recommended:
-
Timezone
– set to correct timezone
-
Auto DST
–
On
-
Update from Cloud
-
On
15.2
Display & Sound
The Generation Icon on the
zappi
display can be changed to match your local system.
Select between “Sun” (PV) and “Wind” on the Icons… submenu to change the icon
If do not have any local generation then the icon can be turned off by changing the Monitoring… setting
15.3
RGB LED
zappi
has a coloured LED light on the front which changes colour and flashes to provide a visible indication of the
charge state. The brightness of the LED and the colours can be adjusted from the RGB LED menu.
15.4
Grid Limit
When the Grid Limit is set,
zappi
will automatically reduce the power going to the EV if it detects that too much
power is being drawn from the grid.
15.5
CT Detect (“G100”)
“G100” is a UK standard which some distribution companies use when setting the requirements for the Grid Limit
(or “load curtailment”) function in EV charging equipment. One requirement is that the equipment should detect if
the grid CT is disconnected.
When the CT Detect Protection setting is turned on (default)
zappi
will detect that the grid CT has become
disconnected and will limit the output from the
zappi
to prevent the grid supply being overloaded.
This setting applies to wired CT’s and is found on the Advanced – CT Config menu
