5. Overview
Microgeneration systems such as Solar PV and small wind turbines are at their
most efficient when the generated energy is consumed on-site rather than
exporting it to the grid. This is what we call ‘selfconsumption’. zappi is a
Mode 3 charging station, compatible with all electric vehicles that comply
with EN 62196 and EN 61851-1 plug-in electric vehicle standards. zappi works
like any regular charging point but has special ECO charging modes that will
benefit homeowners with grid-tied microgeneration systems e.g. wind or solar
generation. Two special ECO charging modes automatically adjust charging
current in response to on-site generation and household power consumption. In
FAST charge mode, zappi operates like an ordinary EV charger. A grid current
sensor (supplied) simply clips around the incoming supply cable and is used to
monitor excess power. When using the special ECO charge modes, zappi will
automatically adjust the charge rate in response to available surplus.
Feature Set
· 3 charging modes: ECO, ECO+ & FAST · Optimises microgeneration self-
consumption · Works with solar PV, wind turbine or micro-hydro systems ·
Economy tariff sense input · Programmable timer function · Charge and event

7. Connectivity
7.1 Wireless Connection
myenergi devices use an 868MHz / 915Mhz wireless link to communicate with each
other. Although this is usually more effective at passing through walls than a
standard WiFi signal, radio communication can be affected by many factors such
as: · the distance between the devices · the thickness of any walls that the
signal has to pass through · wall construction and insulation materials ·
large metal objects such as washing machines, fridges, sinks and baths ·
mirrors · electronic products such as televisions · other wireless devices
operating on the same radio frequency
Please consider the position of your myenergi devices carefully to ensure that
they operate as planned.
Although the devices work in the majority of installations and our technical
support team are available to provide help in setting up your system, we
cannot guarantee the performance where circumstances beyond our control affect
the performance of the wireless link.
If you have any concerns about the wireless performance then we would be
pleased to answer your questions, but please consider that if a WiFi signal
works OK then there is a very high probability that the myenergi devices will
also work without any issues.
7.2 Ethernet or WiFi Connections
zappis with the built-in vHub (identified by product code zappi-2Hxxxx and
22xxxx) are supplied with a builtin Ethernet port (RJ45) and WiFi to connect
zappi to the local network (LAN).
All myenergi internet capable devices should be connected to the internet
either, via WiFi or a hardwired Ethernet connection. This version of the zappi
can also act as the “hub” between all your myenergi devices and the myenergi
server. The “hub” device MUST be connected to the internet.
harvi can only be connected using a wireless link to the Master device
NOTICE It is not currently G100 compliant to use a harvi with zappi or libbi
to measure Grid CT, in UK installations. · EV chargers and battery storage
must have a hardwired Grid CT (in the UK).
When pairing devices, they will use the Ethernet link over wireless, if
available.

8. Installation
8.1 Mounting
NOTICE · Care should be taken to maintain the IP rating of the unit. · Ensure
grommets and bungs provided are fitted, the O-ring behind the cover is seated
correctly and
that the incoming power and CT cables are fitted using an appropriate size and
type of gland. · zappi must be fixed to a flat vertical surface.
8.1.1 Cable and Gland Requirements
The Cross Sectional Area of the cable used should be between 4mm2 and 10mm2
The gland diameter should be a minimum of 16mm and a maximum of 25mm.
Generally, a stuffing gland can be used. SWA CW outdoor glands may be used for
armoured cable. The size of cable and gland used is the responsibility of the
installer and should be determined on an install-by-install basis dependant
upon install specifics.
8.1.2 Mounting Instructions
Step 1: Carefully remove fascia from the zappi by
pressing the 2 clips located at the bottom of unit inwards whilst pulling the
fascia towards you.
Step 2: If installing a tethered zappi, you must
ensure the cable wall guard is fixed to the unit using the 4 screws supplied.
If installing an untethered zappi go to next step.

Step 3: Remove all 8 screws from the enclosure Step 4: There are 4 possible cable entry positions,
and carefully lift away.
carefully decide which one you are going to use from
the above image.
You will need an IP65 or above rated cable gland.
Carefully drill a hole into the unit to match the size of your cable gland. Attach cable gland ensuring IP rating is met.
Step 5: Using zappi template mark mounting
holes. For fixing to brick, use the top and 2 bottom holes (left/right). Use
the 2 vertical holes as well as the top hole if mounting to a stud wall or
joist.
Step 6: To maintain the IP rating of the unit you
will need to add bungs (provided) to the unused holes.
Page 10 of 51
Step 7: Secure the unit to the wall using the fixing Step 8: Ensure O-ring is
present and sits neatly
kit provided. Ensure the grommets are used to into its channel. maintain its
IP integrity. NOTICE If using the rear cable entry, remember to insert the
mains cable before mounting to the wall.
8.2 Wiring
WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK An electric shock can be fatal; electrical connection
work may only be carried out by a competent person. The earth conductor must
be correctly installed and reliably connected. This device must b equipped
with an over-current protection device of maximum 32 Amps (B32).
8.2.1 Cable and Gland Requirements
The Cross Sectional Area of the cable used should be between 4mm2 and 10mm2.
The gland size should be a minimum of 16mm and a maximum of 25mm. Generally, a
stuffing gland can be used. SWA CW outdoor glands may be used for armoured
cable. The size of cable and gland used is the responsibility of the installer
and should be determined on an install-by-install basis dependant upon install
specifics.
8.2.2 Strip Length
The main terminals are designed to work with wires with a diameter up to
16mm2.
Insert the mains cable through the installed cable gland (if not already done
so). Strip back outer sheath ensuring all cables reach the terminal blocks
(leaving a little excess). Strip back all coloured cables approx. 18mm.
If using hard wired CT clamps now is the time to insert these too (we
recommend a specialist cable gland that can accommodate multiple cables whilst
still maintaining IP integrity, or two separate cable glands to ensure zappi
remains sealed).
Page 11 of 51
To insert the wires into the terminal blocks a suitable sized screwdriver
should be inserted into the slot. This opens the spring terminal allowing the
wire to be gently pushed into the terminal. Make sure that the wire is pushed
fully home and then remove screwdriver, checking that the wire is secure in
the terminal.
8.2.1 Supply
The single phase zappi should be connected to a 230V/240V nominal AC supply.
The supply should run from a dedicated 32A circuit breaker. The 3 phase zappi
should be connected to a 400V, 4 wire, 3 phase supply. The supply should run
from a dedicated 3 pole 32A circuit breaker. We recommend the use of curve B
circuit breakers. Local wiring regulations should consulted to confirm whether
an additional upstream RCD is also required.
8.2.2 Earthing
The zappi unit must be earthed in accordance with local regulations. When
installed on a PME (TNC-S) electrical system it is necessary to protect the
consumer from a potential electric shock that could occur if the combined
Neutral and Earth (PEN) conductor on the supply becomes damaged or
disconnected. zappi includes an additional automatic disconnection device
which satisfies the requirements of BS7671:2018 Amendment 1:2020 722.411.4.1
(v) (the 18th Edition IET Wiring Regulations). This protection device
a) monitors the supply to identify if there is a problem with the PEN
conductor and b) disconnects the supply if a situation arises where the end
user might suffer an electric shock This means that the zappi can be installed
without the need for an additional earth rod. However, if the customer or
local regulations require that an earth rod is installed (for instance as part
of a TT earthed system) then this should be connected to the dedicated
terminal on the main circuit board using a ring terminal (as shown below).
Page 12 of 51
8.2.3 Single Phase Wiring
For single-phase installations, without the need for hardwiring an external
CT, please follow the above diagram
Earth = Green / Yellow cable Neutral = Blue cable Live (L1) = Brown cable
For single phase installations, where 1 or more external/additional CTs are
required, please follow the above diagram to connect the CTs. Use the extra CT
terminals in the same way if required.
Positive (+) = Red Negative (-) = Black
For more details on CT installation and connection see CT Sensor Installation
WARNING It is vitally important that conductors are inserted into the correct
terminal entry. If in doubt please call our Technical Support Team for
guidance before installing.

8.2.4 Three Phase Wiring
For 3 phase installations, without the need for hardwiring an external CT, please use the above diagram. Earth = Green / Yellow cable Neutral = Blue cable Live (L1) = Brown Live (L2) = Black Live (L3) = Grey
For 3 phase installations, with the need for 1 or more external/additional
CTs, please use the above diagram. Positive (+) = Red Negative (-) = Black
For more details on CT installation and connection see CT Sensor Installation
WARNING It is vitally important that conductors are inserted into the correct
terminal entry. If in doubt please call our Technical Support Team for
guidance before installing.
Page 14 of 51
8.2.5 eSense Input
zappi has an “external Sense” or “eSense” input which can be used with an
external input (such as a relay contact or voltage) to
· sense the availability of economy tariff electricity, this can be used to
automatically boost the charge when in ECO or ECO+ charging modes.
· force zappi to limit the output or stop the EV charging
NOTICE The connection to the eSense input will depend on the version of the
zappi. · Serial numbers starting 1xxxxxx The eSense input to the zappi is
designed to work with an AC voltage between 100V and 260V. · Serial numbers
from 2xxxxxxx onwards A “universal” Sense input is provided. This will work
with an external voltage 24-230V AC/DC wired to the terminals marked “24-230V
AC/DC in”.
To use eSense input with a simple “dry” relay contact, a 24V DC supply is
provided. The external volt-free relay contact should be wired between the
terminals marked “24V out” and “in”.
The eSense input is electrically isolated and effectively draws no current so
the eSense signal may be connected using a wire with a small cross section.
When the eSense input is active the cause the eSense symbol
will be shown on the main screen. There is no need to connect the eSense input
if you do not want to use this feature.
If the eSense input is provided using an external volt-free contact then this
must be connected to the outer terminals marked “24V out” and “in”
NOTICE There is no need to earth the eSense cable
If the eSense signal is provided by using an external voltage this must be connected to the two right hand terminals marked “24-230V AC/DC in”
8.2.6 Wiring Overview Diagram
The diagram on the following page gives an overview of the wiring required for
a standard installation.
Page 15 of 51
Page 16 of 51
8.3 CT Sensor Installation
Current Transformers (CTs) are used to measure current at various places of
the installation. For example, the Grid connection point, the solar/wind
inverter, or a static battery system.
Installation of a CT to monitor the Grid connection point is required for ECO
modes. Other CTs are optional and can be purchased separately. The number and
location of CTs used within an installation will vary according to the devices
installed and the user requirements.
CTs can be wired to any myenergi device with CT inputs (e.g. eddi, zappi or
harvi). This allows for flexible installation as a CT can be wired to the
nearest device. Ideally the grid CTs should be wired to the master device.
NOTICE The harvi device can be used (wirelessly) if it is not practical to
connect Generation CT to the zappi.
NOTICE It is not currently G100 compliant to use a harvi with zappi or libbi
to measure Grid CT, in UK installations. · EV chargers and battery storage
must have a hardwired Grid CT (in the UK).
SINGLE PHASE: A CT clamp must be placed around the live meter tail as shown
above with the arrow pointing towards the consumer unit.
NOTICE The clamp can be placed on the neutral tail, however the direction of
the arrow shown above will need to be in reversed.
3-PHASE: A CT clamp must be placed around each phase with the arrow pointing
towards the consumer unit.
NOTICE A CT cannot be clipped on to the neutral in a 3phase system.
Page 17 of 51
Once installed the CTs need to be configured. See CT Config for details of how
to configure the CTs.
If using a single-phase system, the wired CT sensor (supplied) ideally needs
to be clipped around the live conductor leaving the meter tail with the arrow
(located on the side of the CT) pointing towards the consumer unit. It is
possible to use the Neutral conductor, however you will need to reverse the
direction of the sensor (arrow towards the meter).
If using a 3-phase system, a CT sensor (supplied) needs to be clipped around
each live tail.
The positioning of the Grid CT sensor is crucial, please take note of the
following when deciding where best to install the sensor:
· The sensor can be connected to any myenergi device with a CT input e.g. the
eddi, zappi (wired sensor) or harvi (wireless sensor)
· ALL the import and exported power must be ‘seen’ by the sensor. Ensure that
it is installed before ANY junction box or ‘Henley Block’ (if necessary, the
CT can be fitted inside the consumer unit)
· There must be only one Grid CT per-phase for the whole installation. (There
can be other CTs but only one at the grid connection point. Also note that CTs
for third-party devices do not matter)
· The CTs can be clipped on either the Live or Neutral cable on single-phase
systems
Note: On 3 phase system you can only use the Live tails
· The arrow on the bottom of the CT sensor must be pointing towards the
consumer unit (in the direction of grid import) if on the Live cable or
reversed if on the Neutral cable (single phase only)
· Ensure the CT is fully closed and clicks shut · Be sure to wire the CT the
correct way round: black [], red [+]. Failure to do so will see the import
and
export readings swapped
8.3.1 Grid CT
The Grid CT sensor (supplied) needs to be clipped around either the Live or
Neutral meter tail of the electricity supply meter. If using the Neutral
conductor, reverse the direction of the sensor (so the arrow is reversed). The
positioning of the Grid CT sensor is crucial, take note of the following when
deciding where best to install the sensor:
· Can be connected to any myenergi device with a CT input e.g. the eddi or
zappi (wired sensor) or harvi (wireless sensor).
· ALL of the imported and exported power must be ‘seen’ by the sensor be
sure to install it upstream of ANY junction box or ‘Henley Block’ (the CT can
be fitted inside the consumer unit).
· There must be only one Grid CT per-phase for the whole installation. (There
can be other CTs but only one at the grid connection point, also note CTs for
third-party devices do not matter).
· The CT should be on the Live or Neutral cable. · The arrow on the bottom of
the CT sensor must be
pointing towards the consumer unit (in the direction of grid import) if on the
Live cable, or reversed if on the Neutral cable. · Ensure the CT is fully
closed and clicks shut. · Be sure to wire the CT the correct way round; black
[], red [+] otherwise import and export readings will be swapped.
Page 18 of 51
8.3.2 Additional CTs
There is an option to add other CT sensors (available separately) for
monitoring the generation or other appliances such as battery systems or
general loads. Installing a CT for the generator (PV system) will allow the
main screen to show the generated power and the total power consumption of the
all the other appliances in the property. CTs can also be used to limit the
power drawn from the supply:
· Additional CTs can be connected to any myenergi device with a CT input that
is linked to the network. · The arrow on the bottom of the sensor must be
pointing in the direction of normal power flow (e.g.
away from the PV inverter) if on the Live cable or reversed if on the Neutral
cable. · Ensure the sensor is fully closed and clicks shut. · Be sure to wire
the CT the correct way round; black [], red [+] 8.3.3 Extending CT Sensor
Cable
If there is a need to extend the CT sensor cable, twisted-pair cable like CAT5
or telephone cable must be used (only use one pair).
NOTICE DO NOT use mains cable, bell wire or speaker cable. It is important to
use only twisted-pair cable to maintain signal integrity. The cable can be
extended up to 100m.
8.3.4 Wireless CT Sensor (Optional accessory)
In some cases it can be difficult or impractical to install a wired sensor.
For example, it may be the case that the zappi unit needs to be connected to a
sub-board, rather than main consumer unit and two consumer units are in
different buildings. The solution is to install harvi a clever little device
that enables the zappi product to be installed without using wired CT sensors
for measuring generation power; instead the CT sensor is connected to harvi.
The harvi does not need batteries or a power supply the energy from the
sensor is harvested and used to transmit the measurement signal to the eddi.
This means batteries or electrical wiring are eliminated! Up to 3 CT sensors
may be used with harvi and it also supports 3-phase systems if three sensors
are connected.
Refer to the harvi installation guide for details on installing and
configuring harvi for your system. NOTICE It is not currently G100 compliant
to use a harvi with zappi or libbi to measure Grid CT, in UK installations. ·
EV chargers and battery storage must have a hardwired Grid CT (in the UK).
Page 19 of 51
8.3.5 CT Golden Rules Grid CT
· Only ONE Grid CT per phase (check for only one ~ symbol in Linked Devices
Info). · Located to `see’ ALL import and ALL export current (i.e. always
upstream of any junction box). · Arrow pointing in direction of import (e.g.
towards consumer unit if on Live cable). · Must be on the same phase as the
Master myenergi device.
8.3.6 All other CTs
· Arrow should point towards the consumer unit.
8.3.7 3-phase harvi CTs
· When using harvi in 3-phase mode, the CT inputs correspond to the phase
number (e.g. CT1 = Phase 1). This helps to avoid phase shifting / phase
misalignment.
8.3.8 CT Can do’s
· Can be wired to ANY myenergi device in the network. · harvi can be used to
make ANY CT wireless2. · Cable can be extended up to 100m (must use twisted-
pair cable e.g. one pair of CAT5). · Cable can be shortened. · Can be clipped
around two or more conductors feeding appliances of the same type (e.g. two
Live
cables from two inverters that are on the same phase). · Can be in close
proximity to other CTs. · Wires can be swapped around in device to reverse the
direction of the readings (e.g. change import to
export). · Can be grouped with other CTs of the same type so that the power
reading is summed (e.g. east and
west solar Generation). · Can be used on the Neutral conductor (direction of
arrow or wires must be reversed). · Can be set to None if you want to exclude
the reading.
8.4 Ethernet link
If you are installing a hard wired link to the router, insert the Ethernet
cable into the RJ45 Port before progressing to 8.5 Ensure you connect the
remaining end of the Ethernet into the home router.
NOTICE If installing alongside a libbi or another zappi, all devices MUST be
paired using hardwired Ethernet. This is to ensure the installation remains
G100 compliant.

8.6.1 Load Balancing / Current Limiting / Load Curtailment
CTs can also be used to limit the current drawn by myenergi devices to avoid
overloading circuits; this is referred to as load balancing or load
curtailment. There are four different ways to limit current and they can be
used alone or combined for more complex situations. See the table below:
Function Device Limit
Grid Limit
Group Limit (internal CT) Group Limit (with external CT)
Operation Sets a maximum current that can be drawn by the device (e.g. zappi).
The current will not be exceeded even during Boost or Fast charge. Sets the
limit that can be drawn from the grid connection (i.e. the maximum import
current). The zappi and any other linked myenergi device, will limit the
current they draw if there is a danger of exceeding the set Grid Limit.
Sets the combined current limit for several myenergi devices.
Sets the combined current limit for several myenergi devices that are sharing
a supply with another large appliance.
Example A zappi is wired to a 20A supply (rather than 32A). The maximum
current drawn will not exceed the set limit (e.g. 20A)
A property may have a grid supply limit of 65A. Several appliances are on, so
the property is consuming 12kW (52A). The user wants to charge in FAST mode.
Without the Grid Limit set, the total consumption would exceed the allowed
import current and trip the supply or blow a fuse. However, with a Grid Limit
setting of 60A, zappi would temporarily limit the charging current to 8A
(about 1.8kW) and the maximum allowed import current would not be exceeded. A
property has a large PV array, a swimming pool and two zappis. The supply to
the zappis is only rated at 40A so to be safe a Group Limit of 40A is set. A
zappi is installed in a garage which also has a washer and a dryer (2.5kW
each). The garage has a supply of 32A coming from the main consumer unit in
the house. If all appliances were on together and no limit had been set the
total current would exceed the maximum supply current. By setting the Group
Limit to 32A an overload will be avoided.
8.6.2 Three-Phase Systems
If the installation has a three-phase supply, you can use the 3 CT connectors
either directly connected to the zappi (hard wired) or a harvi device
(wireless optional). We recommend you use one CT per phase; this will allow
the zappi to show the total grid import and export figures rather than just
one of the phases.
If all three phases are monitored then it is also possible to net the export
power across phases, to do this, enable Net Phases in the Supply Grid menu see
Supply Grid Net Phases. This allows the zappi to use surplus power from any
phase and not just the phase which the zappi is installed on. However, you
must be sure that the electricity is metered in such a way as to allow this.
For a three phase zappi, Net Phases should be turned on.
Page 22 of 51
8.6.3 Battery Storage Systems
AC Coupled Where there is an AC coupled battery storage system, there can be a
conflict as both the storage system and the zappi are competing to consume the
surplus energy. Whilst this is not necessarily an issue, the results can be
somewhat unpredictable. There is the option to add an additional CT sensor to
monitor the battery storage. This will give control as to which device has
priority. The additional CT sensor should be wired to one of the CT terminals
in the zappi or harvi device (if wireless measurement is required). This CT
should be clipped around the live cable of the battery inverter with the arrow
on the CT pointing away from the battery and towards the consumer unit/fuse
board. During the setup process it will be necessary to change the setting for
the appropriate CT to AC Battery; refer to CT Config. Also refer to Supply
Grid Network Settings Battery for information on setting the ‘priority’ of
battery systems. DC Coupled / Hybrid Battery systems that charge directly from
the solar array and cannot charge from AC are usually referred to as being DC
coupled or Hybrid. This type of battery system uses the solar PV inverter to
provide power from the batteries, thus it is not possible to differentiate
between solar and battery power when using a CT to measure the AC current from
the inverter. Because of this limitation, there are less options for managing
the surplus power with this type of battery system. It is usually possible to
give priority to the battery by setting an Export Margin in the zappi. A
setting of 50W or 100W is recommended. The Export Margin setting is found in
the Advanced Settings/Supply Grid menu. Third-Party Diverters Some properties
have a third-party energy diverter installed and you may want the zappi to
take priority (when consuming surplus power) over the diverter. This is
possible by installing an extra CT to monitor the diverter. The CT should be
clipped around the Live cable of the supply feeding the diverter. The arrow on
the CT should be pointing away from the diverter (towards the consumer unit).
Wire the CT to the nearest myenergi device or use a harvi if a wireless
connection is needed. Configure the CT Type as Storage Only. See CT Config for
details of how to configure CTs. Voltage Optimisers If there is a voltage
optimiser (VO) installed in the property, the CT sensor and the zappi must
both be on the same side of the VO; either the incoming grid supply or the
optimised supply.

8.7 Built-in Protection
zappi has a number of protection features built into the device to make it
safe and simple to install.
8.7.1 Loss of PEN Conductor
The Protective Neutral and Earth (PEN) conductor refers to part of the
electricity cable to the property. If this conductor is damaged there is a
danger that the chassis of the electric vehicle being charged will become
“live” and cause an electric shock. BS7671:2018 Amendment 1:2020 part
722.411.4.1 requires that extra protection is provided to prevent an electric
shock either by fitting an extra earth electrode or through a device which
detects the fault and disconnects the supply. zappi has this protection built-
in3 and will disconnect the output if it detects a problem with the PEN
conductor or detects that there may be any electric current flowing through
the chassis of the EV. This built-in protection means that there is no need to
install an earth electrode with the zappi. If zappi detects a problem with the
PEN conductor then the display will show PEN Fault! To reset the zappi, check
the continuity of the earth cable and then press the button for three seconds.
8.7.2 Loss of Protective Earth
zappi can measure the continuity of the protective earth conductor (the earth
wire) on the supply cable. If the earth is disconnected or has a high
impedance, then zappi will trip and the display will show PE not connected! To
reset the zappi, make sure that the fault has been removed and then press the
button for three seconds.
8.7.3 Welded Contact
zappi includes protection to make sure that the supply to an EV is
disconnected if there is a problem with the circuit breaker. This includes a
situation where the contacts on the breaker are welded together. This is a
specific requirement of the Renault “Z.E. Ready” and ASEFA “EV Ready”
standards (e.g. requirement for Nissan). If zappi detects a problem with a
welded contact, then the display will show RLY WELDED! If this happens and the
fault cannot be reset by pressing the button for three seconds, then please
contact myenergi technical support at support@myenergi.com
8.7.4 Over-current
If there is a problem with the equipment on the EV which charges the vehicle’s
battery, too much current may be drawn from the supply. If this happens, zappi
cannot control the charge rate as expected and it could lead to problems with
overheating or tripping the main circuit breaker to the zappi. zappi provides
additional protection in accordance with the EV Ready standard by opening its
built-in contactor and isolating the EV if it detects that the vehicle is
drawing more than 125% of the maximum current communicated to it by the zappi.
If zappi detects an over-current, then the display will show Over Current! To
reset the zappi, make sure that the fault has been removed and then press the
button for three seconds.
3 Patent Reference GB3577354
Page 24 of 51
8.7.5 Over and Under-voltage
zappi will also isolate the supply to the EV if it detects a problem with the
electricity supply voltage. The nominal supply voltage is 230V but zappi will
trip the output if the measured voltage is more than 12% above or below this
level for five seconds. The zappi display will show Over Voltage! or Under
Voltage! zappi, will reset automatically once the voltage returns to the
acceptable range (nominally 230V +/-10%)
8.7.6 Thermal Limit
zappi also includes protection against overheating. If zappi gets too warm it
will attempt to reduce the current being drawn by reducing the EV charge rate.
If this happens you will see the icon on the main display. If the problem
continues and the zappi’s internal temperature continues to rise, then it will
trip the output to the EV, and the display will show Overheating! zappi will
resume normal operation once the temperature drops.
9. Set-up

9.5 Testing
Before leaving site, it is important that a few checks are carried out,
ensuring the sensors have been correctly installed and are functional.
Step 1: Check that the time and date are correct and are displayed on the
bottom left of the main screen. If
they are not present or are incorrect, set the correct time and date in the
Other Settings/Time & Date menu option.
Step 2: Check that the EV will charge in FAST mode. Step 3: Check the Grid
Power reading at the top right of the main screen is showing sensible readings
and
the direction of power flow is as expected.
Step 4: With the EV plugged in, switch to ECO mode and check that the charge
power is at minimum (about
1.4kW) OR that it is ‘tracking’ the surplus power (i.e. the Grid Power reading
is 0.0kW)
Step 5: If a Generation CT has been installed, check that the generated power
is shown in the top left of the
main screen. If the generation reading is missing, the most likely cause is
the associated CT input is not enabled. NOTICE Remember Only one CT (or
three phase set of CTs) can be set to Grid.

10. Pairing Devices
If zappi is being installed as a standalone myenergi device you can skip this
section.
Up to 6 myenergi devices can be wirelessly linked together. The device you are using as your `hub’ will count as 2 of the 6 devices. By pairing devices, you can use more of your own energy or have more control and visibility. Devices available are:
eddi
A microgeneration energy diverter that uses surplus power to heat water or rooms rather than exporting to the grid.
zappi
An eco-smart electric vehicle charge point that can use surplus power to charge the car.
harvi
A self-powered wireless sensor that can be used along with myenergi load controlling devices such as libbi, eddi, zappi. It is able to detect grid import/export conditions as well as generation power and send this information wirelessly to devices such as the libbi, eddi or zappi. Using a harvi can greatly simplify installation.
libbi
A battery storage system that allows you to store your surplus self-generated energy for use when you need it most. It allows you to capture surplus PV or wind turbine generation. The libbi Controller enables you to integrate with your existing myenergi devices.
myenergi devices can be linked using either the built-in radio or with an Ethernet cable. If using an Ethernet connection all your myenergi devices simply need to be connected to the local network with an Ethernet cable running directly to the internet router.
NOTICE
If pairing zappi to another zappi or a libbi this must be done using a
hardwired Ethernet cable via the router. This is to ensure the installation
remains G100 compliant.
10.1 Master and Slave Devices
When two or more myenergi devices are wirelessly linked, one device will act
as the master device. This device will control the other slave devices. Some
settings can only be changed on the master device.
Your master/slave on your new device will be set during start-up however, if
this ever needs to be changed you can set Master function in the Advanced
Settings/Linked Devices menu. It’s a good idea to choose the device that is
the most convenient to access should you wish to change settings.
· Note: harvi will only pair with the device which is set as the master · It
is recommended that, where the Grid CT is directly connected to the eddi, that
this device is chosen as
the master or vice versa. This ensures the fastest response to the grid power
measurement.
10.2 Channels
On rare occasions it is possible that there are other appliances operating on
the same frequency which could cause interference. If it is not possible to
link devices or the connection seems poor, changing the RF Channel may help.
The channel can be changed on devices without having to re-pair them, just
makes sure they are all set to the same channel.
Page 37 of 51
10.3 Pairing zappi Step 1 Go to your master’ device and in the device menu navigate to:
Device Settings’ > Advanced’ >
Linked Devices’ > Pairing Mode’ Your
master’ will begin searching for slave’ devices’. NOTICE Identify your master device. This can be done by going into the menu of any myenergi device and navigating down to Linked Devices. The device listed in CAPITALS is set as the master. Step 2 Go to your zappi menu and navigate to:
Device Settings’ > Advanced’ >
Linked Devices’ > Pairing Mode’ Step 3 When you see your zappi device display on your
master’ device screen,
select (+) or () on your
master device to confirm.
10.4 Device Settings
Most device types have settings which can only be changed via the Linked
Devices menu. For example, libbi, eddi and zappi have a setting for priority
and harvi has settings to configure its CT inputs. The device settings are
accessed through the Linked Devices menu; select Devices then select the
appropriate device and press (+) to bring up the device settings screen. Refer
to the relevant device instruction document for more information regarding the
actual device settings. After a device has been paired you will have to wait a
few seconds for the device to update before the settings can be accessed. The
screen will show DEVICES UPDATING when this is happening.
10.5 Device Priorities
The priority of each, load controlling linked device, can be set from any
device with a display. The example below shows one eddi device, two zappi
devices and one harvi on the same ‘network’. If you have a myenergi libbi,
this will be shown in your Devices list.
1 The priority is shown on the left of each load controlling device with 1
being the highest priority. If two or more devices have equal priority, the
available surplus (for that priority level) is shared between them.
2 The device shown in CAPITAL letters is the device currently being viewed. 3

Description zappi has detected an unknown EV cable (untethered units only)
Make sure you are using genuine IEC 62196-2 compliant plugs. Range supported:
32A, 20A and 13A. zappi has detected an issue with the “Control Pilot” signal
on the cable between the zappi and the EV.
The socket lock actuator couldn’t lock/unlock the inserted plug as expected
(untethered units only).
zappi has detected a wrong output voltage. e.g. a voltage has been detected
when it should be off. zappi has detected a problem with the main earth
connection to the unit. The earth is either disconnected or the impedance of
the earth connection is too high. zappi has detected an issue with the built-
in protection components. The built-in protection devices couldn’t be tested
or failed the test prior to a charge. The relay inside the zappi has a welded
contact. The secondary relay is open to make sure that the supply to the EV is
isolated. The internal protection against the loss of the PEN conductor on the
electricity supply has tripped. The EV is drawing too much current the
output is switched off. zappi has detected that the supply voltage is too
high/low and has disconnected the EV to protect it.
Action zappi will automatically retest the cable after 5 seconds. If the issue
persists, unplug the cable check for dirt in the plug and try again.

Appendix A
Electric Vehicle (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021
As of 30th June 2022
Relevant to zappis INSTALLED from 30th June 2022
1. Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021
From 30th June 2022, any EV charger installed in a private setting i.e. home
or workplace NOT public, in England, Scotland and Wales has to meet the
Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021.
1.1 Purpose of the Regulations
The new smart charging regulations are a huge, positive forward-step by the UK
Government in preparing our homes and businesses for a smart, connected and
democratized energy system. Essential tools in driving down emissions and a
core reason why myenergi exists. The regulations are focused around when you
are charging an EV. The aim of the regulations is to prevent everyone charging
at the same time and putting too much demand on the grid.
1.2 What’s changed with zappi
New features have been added to zappi to ensure our products remain compliant
with UK Regulations. These include:
· Randomised Delay At the start of a charge and end of a scheduled, Timed
Boost there will be a delay of up to 10 minutes before your vehicle starts and
stops charging. This could be a few seconds or it could be up to the full 10
minutes. This is necessary to ensure everyone does not overload the grid by
starting to charge or ending a charge at the same time. The Randomised Delay
can be overridden, if necessary (See 1.3.2 for further details).
· Smart Scheduling To comply with the smart charging regulations your zappi
will be set to charge in off-peak hours by default. This is between 00:00
08:00. You may change this schedule at any time if you would prefer to charge
in peak hours or your electricity tariff off-peak hours differ from those set.
· Default to ECO+ mode If Smart Regulations apply, zappi will default to
ECO+ mode on first boot up. · Charging logs You will now be able to view a
record of charging logs from the past 13 months. See
Charge Logs section below for further information.
1.3 Randomised Delay: How it works
As mentioned above, Randomised Delay will put a completely random delay at the
start of a charge and end of a scheduled, Timed Boost, for up to 10 minutes.
This can be overridden by the customer in situations where they are in a
hurry. 1.3.1 Delay Status You will be able to see if your charger is in a
state of delay at any time as it will be displayed on both the zappi screen
and in the myenergi app.
Page 45 of 51
1.3.2 Overriding the delay To override the delay simply press the +’ button on the zappi or press the
charge now’ button displayed in the pop-up message
within the myenergi app. If the delay is overridden your charge will
start/stop immediately.
You cannot permanently override the delay function. If you wish to override
the delay each time you charge, you will need to follow the above instruction
to override on every applicable charging session.
1.4 Smart Scheduling: How it works
As summarised under section 1.2 your zappi will be set to charge in off-peak
hours by default from initial start-up. 1.4.1 Off-peak hours Off-peak hours
are usually between 00:00 08:00, depending on your specific tariff, this is
when your electricity will be at it’s cheapest. 1.4.2 Reason for Smart
Scheduling Encouraging you to charge in off-peak hours prevents overloading
the grid in peak times. 1.4.3 Benefits of Smart Scheduling Smart Scheduling
will can help you spend less on your electricity. By charging in off-peak
hours your electricity tariff may be cheaper. 1.4.4 Changing the set schedule
If the default schedule does not suit your requirements, or your electricity
tariff’s off-peak hours differ from the schedule set, you can amend your
schedule at any time from the zappi menu or within the myenergi app. To adjust
your schedule in the app navigate to the Set Boost Parameters’ option, select start time and set the number of hours you want your charger to boost for. To change the schedule on your zappi device navigate to
Charge Settings > Boost
Timer’ and amend the schedule as desired. For further information see the
Timed Boost section of the User Manual. Alternatively, the schedule may be
deleted altogether, if required. To do this ensure all inputs are set to 00:00
for each day of the week.
1.5 Defaulting to `ECO+’ Mode
As mentioned in section 1.2 if your zappi meets the Smart Regulation
parameters it will default to ECO+ mode upon first start-up. This can be
changed to ECO+ or FAST mode at any time by the customer. See Charging Modes
section of the User Manual for further information on modes.
Page 46 of 51
1.5.1 Manual Boost If you choose to remain in ECO+ mode you can still charge
from the grid at any time by doing a Manual Boost. Refer to Manual Boost
section of the User Manual for further information on this existing feature.
1.6 Charging Logs
Providing your zappi is internet connected and you have registered your device
in myaccount you will be able to view a record of charge logs for the last 13
month period. This function will begin from 30th June 2022 so the earliest
time you will see the whole 13 months will be from July 2023 or 13 months from
when your device was connected to the internet. The charge logs will tell you
when the charge started, when the session ended and the duration of each
session. To view your logs log into your account at
https://myaccount.myenergi.com/login Navigate to “My Energi Usage” in the left
hand menu. The charge logs will be displayed like to example below.

Appendix B
Electric Vehicle (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021 As of 30th December
2022
Applies to all zappis Installed on or after 30th December 2022 2. Electric
Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021
In addition to the regulations explained in Appendix A, from 30th December
2022, any EV charger installed in a private setting i.e. home or workplace NOT
public, in England, Scotland and Wales has to meet FURTHER conditions to the
Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021.
2.1 Purpose of the Regulations
Every day cyber criminals make attempts to target individuals and
organisations. With a cyber attack attempted every 39 seconds these
regulations have been put in place to mitigate the risk of this and ensure
your device and information is secure from increasingly sophisticated attacks.
2.2 What’s changed with zappi
The following features have been added to all zappis to comply with the
Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021, Schedule 1, from
30th December 2022: Set-up Wizard The set-up wizard at power up has been
changed to ensure smoother initial set-up. This includes internet connection
and firmware updates upon start up. Automatic Firmware Checking zappi will
regularly check for new software and will automatically display a message on
your zappi screen to let you know in the myenergi app when updates are
available. Tamper Detection We have added built-in tamper detection to alert
you if anyone has removed the front cover of your zappi. You will be alerted
in the myenergi app when tamper activity is detected. Encryption To protect
your data from eavesdroppers zappi uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to
securely communicate throughout your home and across the internet.
Page 48 of 51
2.3 Automatic Firmware Checking
Being on the latest firmware is one crucial way to prevent security breaches.
To ensure you are always on the most up-to-date firmware, your zappi will
regularly check for new software and you will be notified in your myenergi app
when updates are available. You then have the option to select “Install now”
or “later”.
NOTICE Firmware updates can only be delayed up to 3 times.
2.4 Tamper Detection
A tamper detection feature has been added to our zappi devices. This ensures
that any time the cover is removed from your zappi you will be alerted that it
has been tampered with.
l
2.5 AES Encryption
To protect your data from eavesdroppers zappi uses Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES) to securely communicate throughout your home and across the
internet. Linked devices will communicate via AES and communication between
your devices and the internet will also be via AES. For customers with older
myenergi devices that don’t have the compatibility to communicate in
encryption there is a new device menu setting which allows you to turn off
encryption. If encryption is turned off this will only turn off encrypted
communication locally between devices. Communication externally across the
internet will still use encryption.

2.6 Installer Requirements
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure they are compliant with
Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021. This includes, but
is not limited to:
· Installing only compliant charge points in private installs from and
including 30th December 2022. · Answering the start-up wizard questions
accurately to reflect actual install parameters. · Having a Technical File
and/or Declaration of Compliance available if requested by the customer
(myenergi’s Technical File and Declaration of Compliance is available at:
https://myenergi.com/guides/smart-charge-point-regulations-explained/ The
installer should ensure they are fully aware of and understand how the
regulations affect them and what they are required to do to ensure they
comply. These regulations should be monitored for any future updates. For
