Safety regulations/notes

General safety regulations

  • The go-e Controller is to be used exclusively to collect measured values in an electrical system and to pass them on in a network in order to implement energy monitoring, to maximize the self-consumption of a PV system or to implement dynamic load management in interaction with go-e Chargers.
  • Failure to comply with the safety regulations can have serious consequences. go-e GmbH disclaims any liability for damage caused by disregarding the operating instructions, safety regulations or warnings on the device.
  • Mains voltage – danger to life! Never use the go-e Controller if the housing is damaged or open.
  • If unusual heat is generated, do not touch the go-e Controller and disconnect the power supply. In case of discoloration or distortion of the plastic, contact customer support.
  • Wearers of electronic implants should keep at least 60 cm away from the go-e Controller due to electromagnetic fields.
  • The go-e Controller has the communication interface WiFi 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz. The WiFi is operated on a frequency of 2.4Ghz, channels 1-13 with the frequency band 2412-2472Mhz. The maximum transmit power of the WLAN is 20dBm EIRP.

Electrical protective measures, installation, and operation:

  • All information on electrical installation is intended exclusively for a qualified electrician whose training allows all electrical work to be carried out in accordance with the applicable national regulations.
  • The go-e Controller must be mounted by a qualified electrician in accordance with the complete operating instructions. The installation must be carried out in accordance with local, regional and national regulations.
  • An electric shock can be fatal. Disconnect the circuit from the power supply before making any electrical connections.
  • The Controller is mounted on a top-hat rail. Observe the permissible ambient conditions. At ambient temperatures of more than 45 °C, a safety distance of 10 mm to other devices in the control cabinet is recommended. An ambient temperature of 55 °C must not be exceeded.
  • The Controller should not be operated in the immediate vicinity of flammable or explosive substances, running water or heat-emitting equipment.
  • Make sure that the power connection leading to the go-e Controller is properly installed and undamaged.
  • An RCD type A, 30 mA must be provided on the building side, unless local regulations deviate from this. Independently of this, a line circuit breaker (recommendation: LS-3/ B6) must be provided. Do not fuse the go-e Controller with more than 16 A.
  • The current transformers should be attached in the direction of the current as described and illustrated in the installation instructions. This means that the arrows on the current transformers should point in the direction of the current consumer.
  • The go-e Controller may only be operated on fully functional protective devices. Connection cables must be sufficiently dimensioned. We recommend a cable cross-section of at least 1.5 mm².
  • Always use the current transformers supplied. Alternative current transformers, which are also suitable for higher currents, may be used only after inquiry to go-e support and its confirmation in text form.

Opening, repair, maintenance

  • Any modification or repair to the hardware or software of the go-e Controller may only be carried out by a qualified specialist of go-e GmbH.
  • Before dismantling an allegedly defective product, contact go-e’s technical customer support in any case and wait for their decision on the further procedure for handling the service case.
  • Removing and damaging warning notices attached to the go-e Controller or opening the device will result in the loss of any liability by go-e GmbH. The manufacturer’s guarantee also expires in the event of any modification or opening of a go-e Controller.
  • Do not cut the current transformer cables.
  • The go-e Controller is maintenance-free.
  • The device can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents.

Disposal

According to guideline 2012/19/EU (WEEE Directive), electrical equipment must not be disposed of with household waste after the end of use. Take the device to a collection point specially set up for waste electrical equipment in accordance with national legal requirements. Also dispose of the product packaging properly in the waste paper collection so that it can be recycled.
