Smart load shedder
Cat. number : FC80GCS **
Requires prior installation of a “with Netatmo” connected starter pack or a Gateway module and at least one connected power outlet, contractor and/or cable outlet in order to be able to use the offloading function.
DESCRIPTION – USE
Use :
Enables you to measure the total electricity consumption of your home via the
included closed current transformer, and to view it in the Home + Control
smartphone app.
The load shedder is thus able to detect when the subscribed power (or the
maximum consumption threshold defined in the App) is about to be exceeded and
to intelligently offload your connected loads (connected cable outlets,
connected contractors, or connected power outlets) in accordance with
predefined priorities which can be easily customized.
The user can thus reduce the value of his electrical contract and save money
while maintaining his/her level of comfort by avoiding cutting the power
supply of priority equipment.
This connected version offers the functions of:
-
Real-time measurement: automatically reads the total electrical consumption of the home.
-
History of electricity consumption is available in the Home + Control app.
-
Setting of the subscribed power / maximum consumption threshold (which act as a load-shedding threshold) and customization of load-shedding priorities between loads via the
Home + Control app. -
Allows to individually offload the electrical appliances of the home (and not by circuit) for very precise management of the load-shedding function.
Technology:
- Single-phase current measurement, by field effect using a closed current transformer (delivered with the smart load shedder) and data transmission by radio frequency to the connected network.

OVERALL DIMENSIONS
Smart
load shedder
PREPARATION – CONNECTION
Mounting:
- On symmetrical rail EN / IEC 60715 or DIN 35.
Operating position:
- Vertical, Horizontal, Flat.
Row positioning:
- The product shape and the positioning of the terminals allow the passage of single-line, three-lines and plug-in supply busbars in the upper part of the product. Then, it is possible to freely choose the position of the Smart load shedder in the row and to connect by supply busbar the other devices put on the same DIN rail.
Module maintenance:
- It is possible to switch a Smart load shedder in the middle of a row supplied with an upstream busbar without disconnecting the other devices on the same DIN rail.
- Unclip the clamps to put it in open position
- Pull the device forward in order to release it from the DIN rail
- Pull the device downward in order to completely release it from the prongs of the busbar
Connector: Measure coil
Wire the Smart load shedder after a circuit breaker.
The connection between the smart shedder and the current transformer is made
via a locking connector. Recommended tools:
-
For the terminals:
Screwdriver flat-blade 3.5 mm -
For clamping:
Screwdriver flat-blade (5,5 mm or less).
Connection:
