2.1 Appropriate Usage
PowerFlow E.R.S MINI is a grid connected energy flow controller diverter designed solely to be used to-
gether with any grid connected solar PV or wind generation system. It can be used in energy battery back
up or off grid systems provided the electricity network complies to the appropriate grid standard.
Do not use E.R.S MINI for any other purpose other than described in this manual. Alternative uses or
modifications to the product are expressly NOT permitted. Any other use will void any warranty claims and
operation permissions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: Please take note of the following:
1.
Risk of burns due to hot enclosure.
During operation the ERS enclosure may become hot to touch. Always use caution when touching the enclosure after
long periods of operation.
2.
DO NOT place objects over the enclosure.
PowerFlow ERS uses the metal enclosure to dissipate heat. Covering the enclosure may cause product failure.
Please ensure
adequate ventilation is provided.
For further information refer to the installation guide.
3.
DO NOT disassemble the ERS unit at any time.
PowerFlow ERS contains live parts inside, never disassemble the system.
Important: Legionella Advice
Legionella is a bacteria that can grow in water below 60ºC. It is common practice for hot water and heating systems to
raise the water temperature on a weekly basis over 60ºC in order to kill any bacteria growth. Due to the very nature of
ERS it is possible during periods of low energy export to partially heat the water. In systems without a second heating
source such as a boiler to
‘
top up
’
the water temperature, it is possible that unused warm water could remain in a tem-
perature range where bacteria can grow. Because the particulars of each installation are different, PowerFlow Energy
cannot take responsibility for controlling the risk of legionella. It is the installers responsibility to
ensure that this risk is controlled. Adequate water exchange and/or additional heating must be supplied in order to raise
the water temperature above 60ºC on a minimum of a weekly basis. This can be achieved in all electric homes by using
the external timer function to override the ERS system once per week. Further advice on Legionella can be found at
