Friendly advice as an electronics engineer. Always screw the antennas to the product before even powering it up, even if you are not planning to use the wireless functionality. This applies to all products that have antenna connections. Failing to do so, can permanently damage the wireless module inside the product...

How does it damage it?
@andrewsweet43 Жыл бұрын
@@hks-lion When you ommit to connect the antenna, all the RF power used to transmit the signal reflects back from the connector to the radio module, causing it to heat up and cook itself. Technically this happens due to the poor impedance match between the radio module and the (non existing) antenna. RF energy is a bit weird in that regard. If the path that you design it to travel has an impedance that is not accounted and/or designed for, bits of RF energy reflect from that point backwards and cause problems. In general, this phenomenon gets worse, by increasing the RF power output of the module. For example in handheld VHF/UHF radios, if you leave the antenna unconnected and push the transmit button, the RF module (which transmits usually around 5W of power) usually destroys the RF module in a fraction of a second...

Another consideration is that an exposed antenna connector is a great magnet for accidental human body contact, with associated ESD concerns. Screwing the antenna on immediately removes the threat of component damage, should the product have no (or insufficient) ESD protection on its RF ports.

The antennas are not optional for RF circuits. Sure, modern modulation schemes mean the reception process is much more reliable but without the antennas, there's no impedance matched output to the RF amplifier, nor the input receiver circuit. Remember old TVs and the static on the screen when you didn't have a cable plugged in, same thing! What I kind of find amazing is the amount of electronics on that EDDI board for what should be a simple bit of logic and a relay output for the immersion. Looking at the PCB, I presume this is all on the AC side which is nuts but I guess the issue with working with what people already have installed.
@wino99999 Жыл бұрын
It's not a relay output, Its a PWM mains output which is proportional to the spare available watt's from the solar. i.e. If only 100w is being exported, then the output will be switched on for 100/3000 of time and off for 2900/3000 of time for any given period in order to input 3kW into an immersion without clocking up the electricity boards meter.... the meter has a resolution of 3600 joules of energy, so as long as the 3kW load is switched on for less than the 3600 joules, no unit will be measured. The unit then has to measure how long the Solar PV takes to make up for the switch energy (
@JasperJanssen Жыл бұрын
@@wino99999 3600 Joules is 1 Wh. Just because the meter display measures in Wh in no way means that you can import/export a Wh at a time over multiple cycles of the mains and the meter won’t notice - the import and export displays will notice that. You’re gonna have to PWM at well over 50Hz to make this work. Luckily doing PWM at higher than mains frequencies is trivial.

@@wino99999 Thanks for the explanation, really helpful, as soon as you mentioned PWM the board components made sense esp. with regards to suppression (EMC must be fun!). I suppose I was attempting to understand the way some of this kit works together and that, if the system was developed from scratch, wouldnt it be simpler to have a DC based system around the charge state of a battery. In short, I presume the unit is solving the problem where the solar output is converted into AC immediately and you have a system which sends energy back to the grid (therefore the configuration and logic to determine what todo is more complex). This is contrast to a much simpler DIY system Im thinking of installing based around a Victron Multiplus with LIfepo4 battery and no ability to feed back to the grid i.e. if the charge state of the battery is full AND load below a set amount AND water below a certain temperature, dump the excess into the water.

@@JasperJanssen The Electricity boards meter does not clock up any usage provided you use less than 3600J of energy, so what I was trying to explain was this is how these appliances work by turning on for a fraction of a second or cycle if it needs to, to prevent 1 Wh being recorded, then the equivalent amount needs to be exported to cancel out the use of less than 3600J fired into the immersion heater element before again doing the same .....

The Eddi isn’t set up correctly, it should show the power generated by solar as well as house consumption. You can also use the outputs to supply any resistive loads, like a heating element in a water cylinder. Rather then just giving this back to the grid you can install an outlet specifically to power an electric heater (resistive only) and any unused power would partially heat a room. It must be a resistive load as the eddi changes the voltage applied to the output to adjust the load available.

Normally (in my limited experience) an immersion heater will have its own thermostat.

take a look at the honeywell s system wiring. you should be able to add a cylinder thermostat quite easily or get a qualified person to do it for you.

Hi Guys I never have trouble connecting with WPS. It's more than likely the router hasn't enabled the wps. Try holding the wps button down for longer on the routers.

Yep, my old one you had to hold it till it flashed (Virgin) but my new one is a single press. Seems to vary between manufacturer.

@@salibaba Another option is that the customer disabled WPS, possibly to prevent any unwanted connection attempts (the ability to support WPS is signalled by the router along with the SSID and other information).

That's a bacon barm, the issue here is mcs I've just fitted 4 x panels 1.62kw, a 1.5kw inverter right next to the consumer panel but I'm not entitled to any feed in tariff or any other mcs tech? Wiring all this up is easy to me but no-one will touch coz it was not installed via an mcs installer? Niciec can go f itself battery storage and screw these rules.
