SETTINGS EASILY WITH MOBILE PHONE

The installer or end-user can customise the 3phase functions with the free ecoControl app. It can be downloaded to a mobile device from the links below:

In Android phones app may ask your permission for Location Services. Please give the permission. The app does not collect the location info but the use of Bluetooth requires that.

USE OF THE PHONE APP

Device list page functions:

• Settings (cogwheel) opens the cover page settings. You can select the language and restore the devices that were hidden from the cover page
• Refresh button scans the available devices and lists them so that the last found one is added to the bottom
• Hide a device from the list by pressing and holding down the selected device
• Get support button opens web-page with detailed thermostat manuals (internet connection is needed)

3phase WEEKLY TIMER

Once you are connected, the Info page will open in the app. The weekly program is created by selecting the hours for each day of the week when the relay should be on. Save the completed weekly program in the memory of the device using the SAVE button (1) at the bottom.

Check that the device is set to the WEEKLY TIMER mode. Press the cogwheel button (2) in the top right corner of the info page to open the settings page. Change the mode if needed and save the data.
Finally, use the arrow button (3, 4) in the top left corner to exit the settings page and exit the info page in the same way, which will also disconnect you.

3phase WIRELESS RELAY

Combining a 3phase relay together with a Tsense eco plug provides an affordable power management system. The Tsense eco plug retrieves daily the hourly electricity prices (i.e. spot prices) for the coming day. It then controls the electricity consumption of the devices connected to the system according to these spot prices and the conditions set by the user:

1. Automatic hourly control, based on the electricity price and its price limits
2. Manual control with eco plug push button

Examples of the systems to be controlled:

• Hot water heaters
• Electric heating systems
• Electric car charging sockets

Pairing a 3phase wireless relay with a Tsense eco plug

1. Connect the ecoControl phone app to a 3phase device (remember to recycle the 3phase power before making the connection). 3phase led starts to flash in red.
2. Move to the settings and select WIRELESS RELAY operating mode. Save the changes (top right corner)
3. Enter the eco plug ID from the QR sticker to the network key fields. You can type it or to be more efficient use the camera function of the app. Save the changes.
4. Exit the settings page using the “<” button in the top left corner and then exit the Info page in the same way.
5. Press the eco plug button to check that 3phase follows (with a small delay) the eco plug. The green led means the relay is on and the red led means the relay is off.

eco plug manual control
With the eco plug button you can manually force the relay ON. E.g. if you need to have more hot water when electricity price is high and eco plug has switched off the 3phase.

• Press the button to switch to manual control
• Manual control overrides the automation
• The mode is indicated in blue
• Pressing again changes the mode (cheap→expensive)
• A third press returns to automatic mode

FAULT CASE

Connect with the app and see the device info:

If 3phase indicates an error with a flashing red-green LED, the error code can be read on the ecoControl Info page. You can also create a report on the relay to be sent by e-mail. The detailed information in the report will help to provide customer support remotely.

Notice!
The real-time clock error code 10 will automatically be removed from the info page after the first contact from the app because the clock will be timed then. Other error codes remain on the info page until the cause of the error is removed.

FAULT CASE: PWM MODE

PWM mode is the third operating mode of the device, but it cannot be selected in the settings. The mode is activated when:

• In weekly timer mode the time of day is lost during a long power outage (more than 5 hours)
• In wireless relay mode no control from the eco plug is received.

In PWM mode, the relay is ON for part of every 1 hour cycle until the cause of the fault is removed. The On Time is defined by the user in 10% (6 minute) increments in the device settings.
For example, On Time = 10% means that the relay is on for 6 minutes and off for 54 minutes every hour. At 40% the relay is on for 24 minutes every hour, etc.

OTHER SETTINGS

• Device name (freely selectable)
• Indicator led brightness

OTHER INFORMATION

• Actual time relays have been on as a percentage of a day (for monitoring energy consumption)
• Create a report to be sent by email to the seller of the device or the customer support
• Link to user and application manuals

QR CODE

Device ID can be entered into the Network key fields either by typing them on the app’s keyboard or by reading them from a QR code using the phone’s camera function. To avoid typing errors, it is advisable to use the camera whenever possible. Finally, remember to save your settings. Below is a general guide for Tsense devices.
