You only need to set the number of pulsesof each power meter.▪ See "5.5.4 Preferential kWh rate power supply" on page 21 foran example with two power meters.5.5.4 Preferential kWh rate power supplyGeneral rule▪ Power meter 1: Measures the outdoor unit.▪ Power meter 2: Measures the rest (i.e. indoor unit, backup heaterand optional booster heater).Setup▪ Connect power meter 1 to X5M/7 and X5M/8.▪ Connect power meter 2 to X5M/9 and X5M/10.Power meter types▪ Power meter 1: Single- or three-phase power meter according tothe power supply of the outdoor unit.▪ Power meter 2:▪ In case of a single-phase backup heater configuration, use asingle-phase power meter.▪ In other cases, use a three-phase power meter.ExampleSingle-phase outdoor unit with a three-phase backup heater:e efeihg jA B Cbadc580 1 5000 580 1 5000A Outdoor unitB Indoor unitC DHW tanka Electrical cabinet (L1/N): Preferential kWh rate powersupplyb Electrical cabinet (L1/L2/L3/N): Normal kWh rate powersupplyc Power meter (L1/N)d Power meter (L1/L2/L3/N)e Fuse (L1/N)f Fuse (L1/L2/L3/N)g Outdoor unit (L1/N)h Indoor unit (L1/N)i Backup heater (L1/L2/L3/N)j Booster heater (L1/N)5.6 Setting up the power consumptioncontrol▪ The power consumption control:▪ Is only applicable for EHBH/X04+08 and EHVH/X04+08.▪ Allows you to limit the power consumption of the entire system(sum of outdoor unit, indoor unit, backup heater and optionalbooster heater).▪ Configuration: Set the power limitation level and how it has tobe achieved via the user interface.▪ The power limitation level can be expressed as:▪ Maximum running current (in A)▪ Maximum power input (in kW)▪ The power limitation level can be activated:▪ Permanently▪ By digital inputs5.6.1 Permanent power limitationPermanent power limitation is useful to assure a maximum power orcurrent input of the system. In some countries, legislation limits themaximum power consumption for space heating and DHWproduction.
