External installation

• All systems are IP65, meaning they can be installed outdoors if required.
• When installing outdoors, systems must be protected against direct sun, and extreme rain and snow.

Unboxing the All in One

Mounting ALL IN ONE

Mounting

1. Place the wall mounting bracket horizontally onto the wall and mark the position of the bracket holes. Drill 4 holes at the marked positions, at least 75mm deep.
2. Fix the mounting bracket to the wall using the expansion bolts. Please note that the brackets are sided.
3. Mount the All in One onto the mounting bracket. Adjust the height of the supporting feet to ensure the unit is level and attach the securing screws to the brackets.
4. Re-insert the battery modules into the shelves of the All in One battery compartment. Secure the battery modules using the fixings provided. Re-attach waterproof cover.

Clearance

REQUIREMENTS

• Systems must always be installed so that they are accessible for future maintenance as per BS7671
• The system should be installed with the minimum clearances as shown. The All in One and Gateway should be in a vertical position.

Connections

ALL IN ONE

AC Connection

ALL IN ONE

The recommended maximum cable length should not exceed 50m as the resistance of the cable will consume inverter output power and reduce the inverter efficiency.

Communication wires

ALL IN ONE

Please note:
The communication cable must be terminated with a RJ45 plug at either end to connect the All in One to the Giv-Gateway. Ensure the wiring configuration into the PJ45 is the same ends, a cross-over cable will not work. A standard Ethernet Cat5/6 cable will suffice here wired to T-568B standard.

NOTE. RJ45 Plugs are not supplied

To install a single All in One connect the communication wire to the Socket D in the wiring compartment of the All in One.

Mounting GIV-GATEWAY

• Place the wall mounting bracket horizontally onto the wall and mark the position of the bracket holes. Drill 2 holes at the marked positions, at least 75mm deep.
• Fix the mounting bracket to the wall using the fixings provided, or other suitable fixings.
• Fix the Giv-Gateway to the mounting bracket and secure it with the fixings provided. Ensure there is adequate clearance space.

Connections overview

GIV-GATEWAY

• Before installing the Giv-Gateway, make sure that the whole house is isolated from the main supply. Either pull the main fuse or switch off the main breaker to the property.
• Once isolated, please test to ensure that no voltage is present to the property before disconnecting the main supply cable from the consumer unit.
• The Giv-Gateway should be installed between the customer’s supply meter and the consumer unit.
• The meter tails between the meter position and Givenergy Gateway should not be longer than 3 meters. If the length is more than 3 meters, you should install an additional protective device at the nearest point to the supply inside the customer’s premises, as specified in the current IEE Wiring Regulations.

AC utility grid connection

GIV-GATEWAY

• Breaker A – Single all-in-one connection
  The power wires for the All in One connection should be at least 6mm2.

• Breaker B – PV inverter connection
  32a Type C MCB. Means a maximum PV system of 7.5kW.

• Breaker C – EV charger connection
  The maximum load current is 32A, so the load wires should be at least 6mm2.

• Breaker D – Loads connection
  The maximum load current is 80A, so the load wires should be at least 16mm2.

• Breaker E – Loads connection
  The bypass switch redirects grid power directly to the house, bypassing the Giv-Gateway.

• Breaker F – Loads connection
  The maximum load current is 80A, so the load wires should be at least 16mm2.

Communication connection

GIV-GATEWAY

Connecting All in One to Giv-Gateway

Example default wiring configuration

Note: An earthing rod MUST be installed. As per IEC62109-2

Lights and Operation

ALL IN ONE and GIV-GATEWAY

Grid: When energy is being imported from the grid the arrows pointing toward the center will be lit. When energy is being exported to the grid the arrows pointing toward the grid will be lit.
Battery: When the battery is being charged the arrows will point toward the battery pack. When the battery is discharging the arrows will point towards the inverter.

Home demand

• This is a calculation made by our smart energy management system and is lit up when a load is detected within the property.

Inverter status

• Green (solid) – Normal
• Green (flashing) – The system is in waiting Yellow – Charging or discharging error (reboot the unit)
• Red – Fault (contact GivEnergy)
• Green/Red (flashing) – Firmware upgrade

Commissioning

ALL IN ONE & Gateway

NOTE. If you do not complete the commission.

• YOU MUST power off the AIO and leave the GW in bypass. This includes both AC and DC isolators in the OFF position.
• We have seen examples of AIOs being left till a few days later, and their batteries have run flat. Requiring an engineer visit.

1. Using your engineer account, create 2 user accounts. Example. User_AIO & User_GW. This keeps the data in the portal separate.
2. Commission the Gateway 1st, you may use Bypass during the commissioning stages, to ensure the home remains powered as the devices reboot. (Which would kill power)
3. Commission the AIO as you would a normal inverter. The firmware will get updated. Current A607-D606. BMS 6 We have seen issues with the BMS update from 4 to 6. You can contact support for assistance, who can format the dongle, erase the corrupted previous attempt, and then send it manually.
4. Once commissioning is complete, the battery calibration will commence.

Start up and shutdown Instructions

ALL IN ONE

Start-up procedure

1. Ensure connection covers are in place
2. Connect the AC circuit breaker, and ensure that the system is powered and commissioned using the portal/App. Ensure that  the grid power is reading identical to that of the mid-approved meter (this can be found on the screen of the grid meter)
3. Turn on the battery breaker (DC MCB)
4. Turn on the battery (On/Off switch)
5. The inverter will start automatically when the battery voltage is higher than 270V DC or the Giv-Gateway provides AC voltage to the All-in-One

Shutdown procedure

1. Turn off the battery (On/Off switch)
2. Turn off the battery breaker to prevent it from being reactivated (DC MCB)
3. Turn off the AC circuit breaker to prevent it from being reactivated (AIO MCB)
4. Check the inverter operating status
5. Wait until all LEDs have gone out.
   The All in One is now shut down
