The immerSUN is an automatic power controller for heaters. It tracks available surplus power from a grid-tied PV or Wind turbine system and varies the power to the heater to match the surplus power, therefore ensuring all of the green energy is fully utilised. trusine™ Power Control Technology The immerSUN uses TruSine™ power control technology. This means that the voltage is very smoothly adjusted to alter the power to the heater. The power going to the load is a non-distorted true sine wave, only the voltage is altered. This control technology is unique to the immerSUN and is more sophisticated than any similar product on the market. TruSine™ technology ensures trouble free operation with all inverters and compatibility with all import/export energy monitors. Feature Set ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Tracks surplus power and diverts this energy to the load trusine™ technology for fast and smooth automatic power adjustment Works with many microgeneration systems including PV, Wind and Hydro systems Clear graphical backlit LCD display Indicates current import/export power levels as well as diverted power to the heater Savings are accurately reported for the day, month, year as well as the total since installation.

The house in the centre of the screen will be 'happy' if no power is being imported, otherwise a straight face will be displayed. Arrows either side of the house show the direction of power. From this screen the Menu can be accessed, a manual Boost can be triggered and there is a short-cut to the Savings data. Savings Today Savings shown alternates between kWh and financial savings in the set currency. Current Heater The symbol for the heater being heated is shown along with the heater number. Date & Time × Grid Power The power either, being imported or exported. Import or export is shown by the direction of the arrow between the Grid and House symbols.   The current date, day of week and time. ✓ SAVINGS BOOST p6 MENU p5 p8 Heater Power The amount of power currently being sent to the heater. 4 Savings  ×  Savings that have been made by immerSUN are stored in permanent memory. The savings can be shown for Today, this Week, this Month and this Year as well as the Total since the immerSUN has been installed. The savings can be displayed as a list or in a graph. The savings are shown in kWh as well as financially in the chosen currency. For the financial savings to be correct, the user must keep the tariff up to date. The Set Tariff option in the Main Menu allows the user to set the current tariff, this should be set to reflect the kWh cost for the fossil fuel normally used to heat the heater. ✓ SAVINGS 5 Boost (Manual) A heater can be 'boosted' to full power for a short period regardless of the amount of available export power, this function is called Manual Boost and is activated from the main screen. Once the boost starts, the remaining boost period will be displayed, this will start at 1 hour but can be adjusted during the boost. A manual boost can be cancelled at any time. 6 Boost (Timed) The immerSUN can be programmed to 'boost' the heating for each heater at certain times. Boost means that the heater will be at full power regardless of the amount of available export power. This means that power may be drawn from the mains grid supply during boost times. The Boost Times can be accessed from the Main Menu. Once in the BOOST TIMES screen, use the and buttons to select the boost time you wish to change, then press . You can now edit the boost times, use the and buttons to change the start time, end time, days of the week and heater number for the boost, (press the button to move to next section).

RELAY:WHEN RELAY:WHEN BOOSTING BOOSTING Heater 1 Heater 1 Heater Heater 22 When Boosting The relay will operate whenever the selected heater(s) are being boosted, either with manual boost or timed boost. Boiler Boost The relay will operate whenever a manual boost or timed boost is activated for the selected heater(s). The heater will NOT be boosted by the immerSUN but will heat as normal. Instead an auxiliary boiler will be called to boost. RELAY:DESTRAT RELAY:DESTRAT PUMP PUMP Heater 1 Heater 1 Heater Heater 22 14 Destrat Pump Once the heater thermostat opens, the relay will operate (to run a destratification pump). The pump will run for the duration set by the Check Period option in the Advanced Settings menu. What Does It Do? The Multifunction Relay is a relay that can be used for many different purposes. The operation is controlled by the immerSUN and will operate when certain conditions are met, these conditions can be user defined. The relay can be used to control pumps, send signals to the boiler and switch on/off appliances etc. 3rd Heater The relay is used to switch heater 2 output between two different heater loads, therefore enabling 3 heaters to be sequentially controlled. When this option is set Heater 3 will be available on some menu options. p30 Third Third Heater Heater When External When External Boost Boost Export Export Threshold Threshold Fault Fault Signal Signal When External Boost The relay will activate whenever there is an AC voltage at the EX BST input connector. In this mode the relay can also be controlled with the Manual and Timed Boost options. Fault Signal The relay will DEACTIVATE if a fault is detected. It will remain deactivated until the fault is cleared or the immerSUN is restarted. RELAY:EXP. RELAY:EXP. THRESHOLD THRESHOLD Threshold: Threshold: 500W 500W ON Period: 15min ON Period: 15min OFF OFF Period: Period: 0min 0min Priority: High Priority: High Multifunction Relay Contacts NO – Normally Open C – Common NC – Normally Closed 15 Export Threshold The relay will activate when a set export power Threshold is reached. The relay will remain activated a set minimum ON Period. After this period the relay will deactivate, unless the export threshold still exceeds the set level. If the export has fallen below the threshold after the ON Period, the relay will immediately deactivate and will remain so for the set OFF Period. This function operates independent to the heater outputs. When the Priority is set to HIGH the relay will activate when the surplus power exceeds the threshold set. i.e. it will include the already diverted power when waiting for the threshold to be exceeded. With the priority set to LOW, relay will activate when the exported power is greater than the set threshold. In this mode the relay can also be controlled with the Manual and Timed Boost options.

This is an ideal application for the External Boost input. The immersion heater should ONLY be connected to the immerSUN, do not connect the immersion heater to the heat pump or solar thermal controller. ON/OFF Control of Other Appliances Only resistive loads (e.g. heaters) can be connected to the variable power Heater 1 and Heater 2 outputs. However, it is possible to simply switch ON/OFF other types of devices by using the Threshold option of the Multifunction Relay. Cylinder Destratification The effective capacity of a hot water cylinder with a top mounting immersion can be increased by pumping the hot water to the bottom of the cylinder, therefore allowing the immersion heater to heat the top section of the cylinder again. The Multifunction Relay has a De-strat Pump control option for this purpose. 16 What's in the Pack ● immerSUN ● ● Sensor Clamp Fixing Kit ● Antenna Locating the immerSUN Often, the most suitable location for the immerSUN is near to the distribution board as all the connections required are usually available here. Alternatively the unit can be mounted next to the load. Note that the Sensor clamp must be clamped around the supply meter-tail. There is the option of using the Wireless Sensor to simplify the installation if required. The following should be considered when deciding upon the most suitable location: ● ● ● ● ● ● Close to the main incoming mains electrical supply of the property – otherwise the Sensor Clamp will need to be extended, or the Wireless Sensor option used. Access to heater supply cable (this is usually at the consumer unit) Access to suitable supply via 16A MCB or 13A fused outlet User access to the buttons and visibility of LCD screen Adequate ventilation – keep vents clear and provide airflow around the unit. Mimi mum clearance top and bottom is 50mm although more is recommend for ease of access to case screws. Cable access point – through the top, bottom or rear of the unit - the bottom panel is removable to give better access when wiring. Voltage Optimisers If there is a voltage optimiser installed at the property, care will need to be taken when positioning and wiring the immerSUN. The Sensor Clamp and the immerSUN will need to 'see' the same voltage, whether this is the optimised voltage or the non-optimised voltage. Check the manufacturers instructions before connecting the immerSUN to an optimised circuit – some optimisers should not be connected to heaters. Three-Phase Systems The immerSUN and the Sensor Clamp must be on the SAME PHASE. If the generation is 3-phase, an immerSUN can be used on each phase, if only one or two immerSUN's are used, only one-third or two-thirds of the surplus power will be able to be utilised. The loads will need to be single phase. 17 System Overview PV ARRAY WIND TURBINE INVERTER ELECTRICITY GRID GENERATION METER SENSOR CLAMP SUPPLY METER DISTRIBUTION BOARD TERMINAL BLOCK OTHER LOADS Wireless Sensor option available IMMERSUN WATER HEATER (or other heater) ROOM HEATER (optional) 18 immerLINK™ (linking units) immerLINK™ is a wireless network used by immerSUN devices. Up to 5 immerSUN units can be 'linked' together by using immerLINK™. Linking several units enables more export power to be consumed, with each device being able to control a 3kW load, up to 15kW of would-be exported power can be utilised. Use the immerLINK Search option in the Advanced Menu to link devices. MICRO GENERATION SYSTEM ELECTRICITY GRID SENSOR CLAMP DISTRIBUTION BOARD TERMINAL BLOCK Wireless Sensor option available (uses immerLINK™) IMMERSUN (master) WATER HEATER Wireless Communication Link (or other heater) Slaves Up to 4 immerSUNs can be configured as slave devices. The Master immerSUN will control all slaves via the wireless immerLINK™. Each slave must be powered from the same phase as the master. Each slave must have its own load. The sensor does NOT connect to the slave devices.

HEATER 1 SENSOR LINE RELAY HEATER 2 EX BST Cable Anchors L  N E Plug-in Screw Terminals Important! ● Earth MUST be connected ● Ensure wires are secure in screw terminals ● Check plugs are fully inserted ● Secure cables to the cable anchor points with the cable-ties provided 22 Sensor Installation The sensor should be located at the incoming grid supply to the building. This will be the supply from the electric supply meter (NOT the PV generation meter). Clamp the sensor around the LIVE from the meter. Ensure the clamp is securely closed around the cable. It does not matter which way round the sensor is clamped around the cable, the immerSUN will work out the import/export direction automatically. PV connected via Henley Block If the PV system is connected via a terminal then the clamp should be installed on the grid side of the block, i.e. between the meter and terminal block. More than one consumer unit Where there is more than one consumer unit, the clamp should be installed at the primary incoming supply (i.e. before it splits). Using the Wireless Sensor (Optional) There is an option to use a wireless sensor. The wireless sensor is available to purchase as an optional extra. When using the wireless sensor option, the sensor clamp should NOT be connected directly to the immerSUN. See the installation instructions for the Wireless Sensor. 23 Setup Wiring diagrams... 25 Wiring: Single Heater HEATER 2 L N E EX BST LINE L N E NO C NC L N E HEATER 1 1 RELAY IMMERSUN SUPPLY ISOLATOR LOAD ISOLATOR 3.2KW max.

This wiring diagram assumes that the UFH is to be used alongside another heater (most likely an immersion heater). However the UFH system can be used as the only heater by wiring to the Heater 1 output. The UFH thermostat is wired so that the External Boost sees a voltage when the thermostat is closed. The UFH mat is connected directly to Heater 2 output. The External Boost input is used in 'thermostat' mode so that the Heater 2 output is active only when the UFH thermostat is calling for heat.  Important! ● Maximum load: 3.2KW (each heater) ● Minimum load: 150W (each heater) ● Recommended cable size: 2.5mm² ● Must be a simple resistive load without without electronic controls  Settings Heater 1 Type: Heater 2 Type: Heater 3 Type: Relay Function: External Boost:  Tips & Ideas ● Smaller loads can be connected in parallel as long the maximum load is not exceeded. ● The immerSUN has built-in timers that can replace any timers that have been removed. ● The Multifunction Relay is free to use to control other devices..

This wiring diagram assumes that the UFH is to be used alongside an other heater (most likely an immersion heater). However the UFH system can be used as the only heater by wiring to the Heater 1 output. The UFH thermostat is wired solely to the immerSUN, power is taken from the immerSUN supply and External Boost input is used to sense the UFH thermostat state. The UFH mat is connected directly to Heater 2 output.

The External Boost input can be used to detect when the economy rate electricity is available and automatically boost the heater output. The Heaters are connected to the Heater 1 and 2 outputs as normal. The External Boost input is connected to the economy rate supply.  Important! ● Maximum load: 3.2KW (each heater) ● Minimum load: 150W (each heater) ● Recommended cable size: 2.5mm² ● Must be a simple resistive load without electronic controls  Settings Heater 1 Type: Heater 2 Type: Heater 3 Type: Relay Function: External Boost:  Tips & Ideas ● By changing the External Boost heater number, the user can select Heater 1, Heater 2 or both to be automatically boosted whenever the economy rate tariff is available. ● Rather than connecting the External Boost, it is possible to simply program the boost times to coincide with the economy rate times. ● Smaller loads can be connected in parallel as long the maximum load is not exceeded. ● The immerSUN has built-in timers that can replace any timers that have been removed. ● The Multifunction Relay is free to use to control other devices.

The immerSUN must be powered from a 24-hour supply and the heater must be connected directly to the immerSUN, however, during the economy tariff times, the heater needs to draw power from the economy tariff meter. This can be achieved by switching the heater from the immerSUN output to the economy supply during the times when the economy supply is available. It is best to switch over the live and neutral lines, this can be done by using a separate 2NO + 2NC contactor. With this configuration, only Heater 2 will be able to be billed at the economy rate.  Important! ● Maximum load: 3.2KW (each heater). ● Minimum load: 150W (each heater). ● Recommended cable size: 2.5mm². ● Must be a simple resistive load without electronic controls. ● Do NOT be tempted to use the immerSUN multifunction relay in place of the contactor as this can cause excessive currents in the neutral supply line.  Settings Heater 1 Type: Heater 2 Type: Heater 3 Type: Relay Function: External Boost:  Tips & Ideas ● Smaller loads can be connected in parallel as long the maximum load is not exceeded. ● The immerSUN has built-in timers that can replace any timers that have been removed. ● The External Boost input is free to use if an auxiliary device needs to have some control over the immerSUN.
