Product Description
Product Introduction
libbi is an energy storage system that enables surplus energy produced by a PV array, or other renewable generation, to be stored for a home’s future use, instead of being exported back out to the grid. It can also be installed in homes where no generation is installed, to maximise the benefits of off-peak Time of Use Tariff prices. libbi can be installed as a standalone product, but will work in conjunction with other myenergi products: zappi, eddi, harvi, for a super `eco-smart’ home.
The following diagrams show the libbi working as an AC, DC or Hybrid Coupled Battery System. AC-Coupled Battery System · Usually retrofit systems where existing PV is in place with a separate inverter or; · where there are no other forms of generation
If installing alongside existing myenergi devices, existing devices MUST be updated to the latest firmware before pairing libbi. It is a good idea to start the updates on these before you begin your libbi install.
If there is an existing `older’ version of eddi and/or zappi within he install (those with a serial number NOT beginning with a 2), libbi MUST be made Master in the system.
If there is an existing physical hub as part of the installation, the hub must
be removed and vHub turned on in the libbi menu options.
libbi is NOT compatible with zappi V1

· Power to the controller must NOT be supplied by the backup. · Adhere to
local wiring regulations when selecting the type
and size of cable to be used · 3 Amp fuse recommended for fused mains supply ·
When making mains connections it should be ensured that
if the cable slips in such a way as to place strain on the conductors, the
protective earthing conductor will be the last to take the strain
7.2.3 Gland Requirements
Glands are to be used as a way of anchoring the cables. 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.
7.2.4 Controller to Inverter
Communication (RS485)
The controller communication cable, provided, must be inserted into the RS485
port of the controller,
Red to A, Black to B.
5m controller communication cable is supplied. If extension is required, it
must be done using twisted pair cable like CAT5/6 and should NOT be extended
further than the distance of 100m.
7.2.5 Ethernet Connection
If the intention is to connect the controller to the internet via a hardwired
Ethernet connection, insert the Ethernet cable into the RJ45 port at this
point. If you will be connecting to the internet via WiFi leave this port
empty.
If the controller detects an Ethernet connection it will turn off WiFi and
default to a hardwired connection by default so it is important that if you
intend to connect via WiFi to leave this port free.
7.2.6 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. Other CTs are optional and can be purchased
separately. The number and location of CTs used within an installation will
vary according to devices installed and the user requirements. CTs can be
wired to any myenergi device with CT inputs (e.g. libbi, eddi, zappi or
harvi). This enables flexible installation as the CT can be wired to the
nearest device. The harvi device can be used for any CT, if it is not
practical to connect any CT to the libbi.
· 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
· 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
Additional CTs There is an option to add other CT sensors (available
separately) for monitoring the generation or other appliances, such as 3rd
party battery systems. 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 [+] 3-Phase Supply · Additional CT clamps will need to be purchased
prior to
installation · A CT clamp will need to be placed on the Live cable of each
phase · A harvi or other myenergi device will be required to monitor
generation and other appliances, such as 3rd party batteries · Only 1 CT per
Live phase
Grid CT The Grid CT sensor (supplied) needs to be clipped around either the
Live or Neutral conductor 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 libbi, eddi or zappi (wired sensor) or harvi (wireless sensor)

7.3 Fitting the Controller Cover
1. Place the cover back on, ensuring to align the top edge first 2. Re-place
and screw in the front cover Torx screw (1).
WARNING
Do NOT use mains cable, bell wire or speaker cable. It is important
to use only twisted-pair cable to maintain signal integrity. The
(1)
cable can be extended up to 100m.
CT Wireless 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 libbi 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 myenergi products to be
installed without using wired CT sensors for measuring the 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 libbi. This means batteries or
electrical wiring are eliminated.
Refer to the harvi installation guide for details on installing and
configuring harvi for your system.

8.1.2 Controller
After completing and checking the wiring of the supply:
1. Switch on the libbi controller via the circuit breaker or fused spur.
8.2 Controller Set-up
When the libbi controller is first powered up, you will be presented with
`Setup Wizard’ screens which prompt you to confirm the type of install you are
undertaking. This helps to pre-configure the libbi, as required. To view a
menu map of the setup wizard, refer to Appendix E at the back of this manual.
8.3 CT Configuration
CT1 by default is set to GRID on every libbi. To amend the CT inputs connected
to the libbi to match those installed, within the menu options navigate to:
Device settings > Advanced > CT Config
Once in the CT config menu, use the up/down arrows to highlight the required
CT input and press (+) to confirm. Within the CT Type, adjust as required by
pressing (+) and then the up/down arrows to choose, pressing (+) again to
confirm when finished. It is possible to monitor a 3-phase supply directly on
the libbi by Selecting 3 Phase’ as the

possible to manage the distribution of surplus energy between the battery and
the libbi or other myenergi devices. The battery setting in the supply grid
menu is used to configure how the zappi will operate alongside the battery
system. The CT should be installed on the Live supply cable of the battery
inverter/charger, with the arrow pointing away from it.
8.3.1 3-Phase Install (1 libbi on 3-phase supply)
If installing a libbi on a 3-phase supply, a CT must be installed on the Live
cable of each phase. Extra CTs will need to be purchased separately to do
this. The CT config will need to be set-up as follows:

Pairing Devices
8.4.1 Overview
If libbi 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 energy to heat water or rooms rather than exporting to the grid. zappi An eco-smart electric vehicle charge point that can use surplus energy to charge the car. harvi A self-powered wireless sensor that can be used along with myenergi load controlling devices such as libbi, eddi and zappi. It is able to detect grid import/export conditions as well as generation energy and send this information wirelessly to devices. Using a harvi can greatly simplify installation. myenergi devices can be linked using either the built- in radio or with an Ethernet cable. If using an Ethernet connection the libbi controller simply needs to be connected to your local network either with an Ethernet cable running directly to your internet router or via built-in WiFi. 8.4.2 Master & 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 devices. Some settings can only be changed on the master device. Your master/slave on your new device will be set during startup 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. If there is already an existing
older’ version of eddi or zappi within the
system (those that do NOT have a serial number beginning with a 2), libbi MUST
be made Master.
If the install contains an existing physical hub’, this MUST be removed from the installation and vHub turned on in the libbi menu. 8.4.3 Channels Devices will usually use Radio Frequency (RF) Channel 1. It is important that all myenergi devices are using the same channel. 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 8.4.4 Pairing libbi When installing libbi into an existing myenergi eco-system, then libbi will be linked as a
slave’ to the existing master’. libbi has already been set as
slave’ from the answers you gave during the setup wizard. 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. 2. Go
to your libbi controller menu and navigate to: “Device Settings” > “Advanced”
“Linked Devices” > “Pairing Mode”

3. When you see your libbi device display on your `master’ device screen, select (+) on your master device to confirm.
8.5 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.
8.5.1 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.

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 The ~ symbol indicates which device has the grid CT attached /configured to
it . There should only be one in the system.
4 The serial number of each device is shown on the right. 5 If the ? symbol is
shown alongside a device, it indicates
that communication has been lost from the device (the device cannot be
`heard’)
8.5.2 Removing Devices
A device can be removed by navigating to: Advanced Settings > Linked Devices >
Device menu and then select Remove Device.
If you want to remove ALL devices then go to: Advanced Settings > Linked
Devices > Reset Settings
8.6 Internet Connectivity
You will have the option to connect to the internet in the devices initial
start-up wizard. If this was skipped at the time of start-up or connection to
the internet needs to be restored in the future, this section will talk you
through the process.
8.6.1 Hardwired Ethernet
If connecting to the internet via WiFi, skip ahead to the next section. If
connection to the internet is being made by hardwired Ethernet you will have
already inserted the Ethernet cable into the RJ45 Port of the controller
during section 6.1 of these instructions. Simply connect the other end of the
cable into the customer’s home router and connection to the internet will
occur.
If the device detects an Ethernet connection it will use this and turn off
WiFi options within the device. If at any time the Ethernet cable is removed,
it will not automatically turn WiFi options back on. These will need to be
turned on manually within the device menu.
8.6.2 WiFi
1. Go to the main menu on your libbi controller and navigate to: Device Settings’ >
Internet’ > `WiFi’
Make a note of the SSID and Password (P/W) for use later.
2. Connect your smartphone or computer to the myenergi access point by
entering your phone or computer WiFi Settings and searching for the network
displayed with the same name as the SSID you noted down above. Once displayed,
select the network to connect.
3. You will be prompted for a password. Enter the password displayed on the
libbi controller screen that you noted down earlier.
4. You will now be prompted to create a new password to protect the WiFi
settings from being changed by anyone else. The new password must be at least
8 characters long and consist of a combination of lowercase and uppercase
letters and digits.
5. Wait 5 seconds for your password to change and the webpage to reload.
6. Once connected, you will be directed to another webpage where you will
need to select your home WiFi network from the list in the “Detected Networks”
box and type in your home WiFi’s password to connect to your router.
7. Once connected, you will be directed to another webpage where you will
need to select your home WiFi network from the list in the “Detected Networks”
box and type in your home WiFi’s password to connect to your router.
If you want to give your libbi a fixed IP address then tick the “Show IP
Settings” box and fill in the extra information required.
If page doesn’t load, type 192.168.4.1 into your web browser of mobile phone
browser to enter WiFi setup screen.
Please be patient. It could take up to 15 seconds for the connection to take
place.
8.7 Export Limitation
With a growing number of renewable generation (such as PV and Wind Turbines)
in homes and businesses, there is the risk that the grid could be overloaded
if there are large amounts of surplus generation being exported all at once.
To avoid this issue, Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) stipulate a
predetermined amount of electricity that can be exported to the grid. This is
the export limit’ which may vary per property. With export limitation present within libbi, the DNO doesn’t have to worry about large amounts of surplus electricity entering the grid. Under normal operating conditions myenergi devices will aim to use all available surplus energy within the property before exporting anything back to the grid. However, a limit to export may be necessary, and libbi allows you to set a limit reflective of the amount stipulated by the DNO. To do this, in the master device menu, navigate to;
Main Menu’ > Device Settings’ >
Advanced’ > Supply Grid’ >
Export’ >
Export Limit’ The
Export Limit’ may be set to an amount between 1 100A or off’. If set to
off’ this will automatically set the device to its maximum capacity.
Depending on the requirement of the DNO, set the limit accordingly. If you are
working in kW, you can convert this to Amps working on the basis that 1kW =
4.35Amp.
Example 1 libbi is the only device with potential of exporting to the grid
In this scenario there is a libbi only. Export Limit in the libbi controller
device menu has been set to 16A. The PV is currently generating 3kW of energy.
As the libbi battery is full, it cannot store any of the generated energy and
the property doesn’t require any load at this time, leaving it as surplus. The
DNO, in this example, have stated maximum export allowed to the grid is
3.68kW. The libbi will therefore allow the 3kW of the surplus energy to leave
the inverter and be exported to the grid.

Example 2 There is more than one device with potential to export to the grid and export limit has been reached In this scenario there is a libbi and a 3rd party inverter. There are two PV arrays, the first with a 3rd party inverter and the second directly connected to libbi. Export Limit in the libbi controller device menu has been set to 16A. The PV is currently generating 5kW energy from PV Array 1, with another 2kW potential generation from PV Array 2. As the libbi is full, it cannot store any of the generated energy and the property doesn’t require any load at this time, leaving it as surplus. The DNO, in this example, have stated maximum export allowed to the grid is 3.68kW. The 3rd party inverter is already taking 5kW of the surplus and exporting this straight back out to the grid. libbi is constantly monitoring the grid CT and knows that the limit has already been exceeded. In this case the libbi will stop itself exporting any generation from PV Array 2. Status will show on the controller screen as “Export Limited”.
Example 3 There is more than one device with potential to export to the grid and export limit hasn’t been reached In this scenario there is a libbi and a 3rd party inverter. Export Limit in the libbi controller device menu has been set to 16A. PV Array 1 is currently generating 3kW energy and PV Array 2 is currently generating 0.6kW. As the libbi is full, it cannot store any of the generated energy and the property doesn’t require any load at this time, leaving it as surplus. The DNO, in this example, have stated maximum export allowed to the grid is 3.68kW. The 3rd party inverter is taking 3kW of surplus from PV Array 1 and exporting this straight back out to the grid. libbi is constantly monitoring the grid CT and knows that the limit has not yet been met. libbi takes the 0.6kW available from PV Array 2 and exports this to the grid.

8.8 Import Limit
When installing a libbi the Import Limit must be set. This is to ensure our
load balancing feature will protect the main fuse of the property when
importing from the GRID. To do this, in the controller menu, navigate to:
Device settings > Advanced > Supply Grid > Network > Import Limit
It is set to `OFF’ as default and needs to be adjusted accordingly.
It is the installers responsibility to ensure each libbi installed is
registered in the myenergi installer portal. Registration of the libbi within
the installer portal commences the Product Warranty. Following certified
myenergi libbi training, each installer will have an account set up and be

· Complete “Basic Functional Testing”. This is required in order to comply
with G98 & G99
· Check the time and date are correct. This is crucial for supporting any
tariff schedules that have been set
· Check the grid power CT is showing sensible readings and the direction of
the power flow is as expected
· If generation CT has been installed, check that the generated power is shown
in the top left of the main controller display (If PV is connected directly to
the libbi inverter, separate generation CT is not required)
· Check that libbi is connected to the internet and is working correctly. This
also ensures the “update from cloud” option is automatically enabled
· Make sure any required safety limits have been set i.e. Grid limit
· Confirm the backup is working as expected · Ensure all module elements,
including controller, are
registered. · Ensure the customer is happy with the app settings and
they know how to use it.
Routine Maintenance & Cleaning
We recommend a routine observation of the libbi every 6 months. This should be
carried out by a competent person and its main aim is to look for any signs of
damage and abnormalities. This is a visual inspection only and should not
entail removing the cable box cover or dismantling the libbi in any way. A
full maintenance inspection is recommended to be carried out by a qualified
person every 6-12 months. This is to check cables and terminals.
Observational Inspection (Every 6 months)
