1.1.2 Switching loads via external relay without energy meter 
The digital output signal of the Datamanager controls an external relay, which switches the load. The threshold 
to switch ON/OFF can be set accordingly to the output power of the inverter.

1.2 Wiring detail 
The following diagram shows a typical wiring example using an external relay and an override switch that allows 
the additional, manual control of the load.  
Figure 3 – Example connection diagram 
 
This circuit consists of an override switch (1) where the load can be switched manually and the power outlet (2), which the 
load can be connected to. With the external relay (3) the loads will be switched on/off controlled by the settings of the 
Fronius Datamanager (4).  
The output on the Datamanager is on I/O port 1 and the Minus pole (or GND on Datamanger 1.0). For further 
details see next chapter.
