Commissioning

An easy installation wizard is programmed in Ecombi Solar electronic control. Follow the start wizard instructions when turning your Ecombi Solar on for the first time or after resetting it to the factory settings.

START WIZARD – INITIAL SETTINGS.

The Ecombi Solar electronic control will guide you through the commissioning of the unit. The steps to follow are:

• a. Select language. Confirm the language in the storage heater electronic control.

• b. Date & Time. Check and confirm that the default date & time in the unit is correct. If not, please change it.

• c. Charging periods. 2 different charging periods can be set in Ecombi Solar. Set Charging Periods 1 & 2 according to your electricity low tariff hours.
  By default, Ecombi Solar is set to an 8 hours charging period, from 00:00 to 08:00 hours. If this charging time matches your electricity low tariff hours, you do not need to make any changes in the unit configuration. Otherwise, you can change charging Periods 1 and 2 to match your electricity tariff.
  If your electricity tariff is 14 hours off-peak, you must modify the charging configuration in the advance settings menu and select 14 hours nominal charging period.

• d. Temperature setting. This is the last step of the start wizard. Select and confirm the room set temperature of your choice.
  With the help of the start wizard, you will set you Ecombi Solar storage heater for an autonomous operation. It will charge and store the heat during the charging hours set in c. Charging Periods and it will adjust the charge level and consumption according to the set temperature of your choice.
  An incorrect time, charging periods or set temperatures configuration, might result in a high cost of the electricity bill.

Utilization of photovoltaic surplus

PREPARATORY STEPS

Before using the PV surplus utilization function of your Ecombi Solar storage heaters, please perform the following steps:

• a. Installation and setting of the control hub and power meters included in the Solar Box. Please follow the instructions included within.
• b. Download from your market app the Elnur Gabarron Wifi Control app, available for IOS & Android.
• c. Create your user account in the app if you still do not have one.
• d. Register the control hub included in the Solar Box using your user account. Then link also the power meters included in the Solar Box if you still have not.
• e. Link the Ecombi Solar storage heaters to the control hub using the app. (See point 4. Remote Operation using the G-Control Hub for more detail).
  To set and activate the PV surplus utilization function it is necessary to install the Solar Box device (1 Solar box per installation).
  The PV surplus utilization function is only valid for installations for self- consumption connected to the grid and discharging energy to the network.

ACTIVATION AND SETTING

The activation and setting of the PV surplus utilization function is done exclusively through the app.

Solar Energy activation. Surplus utilization

Once you have completed the aforementioned steps, access the app with your user name and keyword, and complete the following steps:

• Access section “Heating” from the bottom menu.
• Select and access the appliance you want to set.
• Select the option “Setup” from the bottom menu
• Turn on or off the PV surplus utilisation function through the activation or deactivation of the “Activation State” parameter in the “Solar Energy” menu.
  

Solar Energy settings. Surplus Utilization
When switching on the Solar Energy function, the setting options will be automatically displayed. Set them according to your needs.
These are the setting options available:

• Charge settings:
  • Solar Alone. Ecombi Solar will only consume and store energy when there are photovoltaic surpluses.
  • Solar and Off-peak. Ecombi Solar will charge and store energy whenever there is surplus. In addition, it will also charge during the Off-peak period. You can set the off-peak maximum charge (%) using the corresponding option.
  • Solar and Grid Adjustment. Ecombi Solar will charge and store energy whenever there is surplus. It will also charge during the Off-peak period. You can also set the off-peak maximum charge (%) using the corresponding option. In addition, this setting mode offers some other functions
  • The storage heater can connect the balance heating element to provide immediate heat when the ambient temperature is lower than the setting temperature.
  • The appliance will self-regulate the charge level during the off-peak period according to the temperature records in precedent days.
• Solar Power Activation:
  • Indicates the percentage of solar Energy required to active the next power level (%).100% by default
• Off-peak maximum charge
  • Maximum charge level during the off-peak period (%). 80% by default
• Ambient temperature over heating protection.
  • This protection will stop the solar PV charging when the ambient temperature reaches set-point temperature plus ambient temperature over heating protection. Default 3ºC.
• Solar priority:
  • Solar PV charging priority. Devices with high priority will charge first in relation to low priority storage heaters when there is PV Solar extra energy

ADVANCED SETTINGS

With the general settings menu, you can make additional changes and adjustments in device start-up and operation. To access the settings menu of the device, press and hold the button for 5 seconds in the home screen of any operating mode of the device with the screen lit. The following screen appears:

Ecombi Solar will not charge at intervals set to Frost Protection . It is recommended to reserve this temperature level solely for complete days on which you do not require heating.

Charge setting

The Charge Setting menu allows you to change the factory preset charging period of your storage heater to match the off-peak period of your hourly tariff, as well as the days of the week on which you need the storage heater to charge. The standard factory preset period is 00:00 to 08:00 and the charge is active every day of the week.

Charging periods

Go into the “Charging Periods” menu if you want to change the charging periods for your device.

2 charging periods are selected in Ecombi Solar.

• 1st charging period: Factory setting of 00:00 to 08:00.
• 2nd charging period: (Factory disabled, 00:00 to 00:00)

The factory setting for both periods can be changed as you wish. Enter the period that you want to alter and change the start and end time to adapt to your tariff.

The factory charging period will be from 22:00 to 12:00 in winter and from 23:00 to 13:00 in summer, if the nominal charging time of 14 hours is activated in the Advanced Settings menu (See section 3.5. Advanced Settings)

Charging days in the week

It is possible to select the days of the week on which the Ecombi Solar heater will charge and those on which it will not. Access the “Charging Days” menu and select the days on which you want the storage heater to charge.

If a day of the week is selected as a non-charging day, the Ecombi solar heater automatically sets the Frost Protection setpoint for this day in the Programme mode and automatically assigns this temperature to the 24 hours of the non-charging day in the Basic mode.

Initial charge

The initial factory setting charge is 100%. It is the charge value of the device at the start of an extended period of inactivity or from its installation. Subsequently, during its operation, the device self-regulates the day-to-day level of charge so that it operates efficiently in accordance with energy needs.

To change the charge percentage, from the “Initial Charge” menu, go into “Edit”, select the desired charge value and select “Save”.

If the balancing heating element is disabled, Ecombi Solar will not automatically calculate the day-to-day charge and will always retain the maximum charge value that has been set in the initial charging parameter as the target charge.

Advanced settings

With the advanced settings menu, you can change general settings in the device, as well as its advanced operating settings. To access the advanced settings menu, press for 5 seconds and then select the “Advanced” menu. The Advanced Settings menu comprises the following parts:
