Solamiser User Manual
c) Turn off any appliances which may be operating in
the house at this time i.e. all consumer unit MCBs
then turn on the consumer unit's main switch.
d) Turn on the consumer unit immersion heater
circuit breaker and ensure that any other switches
in the immersion heater circuit are also switched
on.
e) The LED at the top of Solamiser should start to
blink.
f) If the LED is flashing short pulses (0.1 sec ON
time, variable OFF time) then Solamiser is
balancing the energy from the solar panels minus
the energy being consumed by the rest of the
house, with the energy consumed by the
immersion heater. Each pulse represents
approximately 1 Wh of energy being diverted to
the immersion heater. If the LED is pulsing, say
once every two second, then the power to the
immersion heater at that moment is approx 1.8 kW
i.e. 1800 pulses per hour.
g) If the LED is ON for half a second and then OFF
for half a second, Solamiser 'thinks' the house is
importing energy from the mains. There is not
enough solar energy to supply the house. The
immersion heater is turned off to avoid using
mains power.
