▪Indicates a situation that may cause material damage or malfunctioning of the equipment. May also be

used to indicate practices which are recommended or not recommended for the equipment.

DANGER!

▪Warning of imminent or potential danger which, if not avoided, may result in injury or even death. May

also be used to warn of unsafe practices.

The ecoSMART e-system has been designed to work with ecoGEO heat pumps and a serie of commercial trades and installations

designed for the production of energy from renewable sources or similar equipment.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any material damage and/or personal injury resulting from improper use or incorrect

installation of the equipment. ECOFOREST equipment must be installed by a licensed installer in accordance with applicable local

regulations and in accordance with the instructions described in the installation manual.

1.1. Safety considerations

The detailed instructions in this section cover important aspects for your safety; as such they must be strictly complied with

DANGER!

▪All the installation and maintenance work must be performed by an authorised technician following

local regulations and according to the instructions described in the installation manual.

▪Improper installation or use of the equipment could cause electrocution, short circuits, leakage of

working fluids, fire or other personal injury and/or material damage.

▪Keep the plastic bags included in the packaging out of the reach of children, as they could result in

injury through asphyxia.

▪This equipment should not be handled by people with physical, sensory or psychological disabilities,

children and people with no suitable experience or knowledge, unless it is under the supervision or

direction of a person responsible for their safety.

▪If equipment malfunction is detected, contact your technical service to solve any problems that may

have appeared.

▪Do not touch any of the internal components during or immediately after operation. You must

completely disconnect the equipment and isolate it from all electrical circuits before any handling or

maintenance work.

▪Install a RCD (Residual Current Device) on each AC line leaving the system.

▪The RCD must be of the quadripolar type, with a maximum residual current equal to 300mA, class A.

▪Take every precaution to prevent the storage system from turn-on uncontrollably.

▪If it is unavoidable to carry out any operation under voltage, it is totally forbidden to do so without

the appropriate PPE: anti-electrocution gloves and safety shoes.

▪Do not install or handle the e-system near flammable materials or in potentially flammable

atmospheres

1.2. Steps to follow in case of fire

Electrical devices may ultimately cause a fire due to faulty installation or improper use of the equipment. The measures taken must

ensure the safety of persons in the first place, as well as prevent further material damage. In case of fire inside or near the e-system,

follow the instructions below:

-Disconnect the e-system and isolate it from the mains by turning off the magneto-thermal switch on the general switchboard,

downstream from your energy meter.

-The fire must be extinguished by means of convectional agents, as this is a system considered to be of low voltage, with output

voltages of less than 600Vac.

-In the event of a fire in the batteries, only dry powder extinguishers may be used. Liquid fire extinguishers are prohibited.

DANGER!

▪Remember that, with the exception of small, localised fires, only the fire brigade is equipped and

authorised to intervene in fire-extinguishing manoeuvres. If the fire has spread, you must leave the site

and get to safety immediately.

1.3. Maintenance

The ecoSMART equipments do not require specific maintenance after commissioning. The internal controller monitors a large number

of parameters and will produce a warning if any problem arises, in which case we recommend you contact your distributor.

DANGER!

▪All maintenance work must be performed by an authorised technician. Improper handling of the

equipment as a whole can result in personal injury and/or damage to materials.

▪Do not spill water or other liquids directly on the device to clean it, as this could cause an electric shock

or fire.

▪Do not manipulate or bypass the electrical protections of the devices. It could cause irreversible damage

to the equipment.

▪Do not make any changes to the electrical connection and communication lines to the storage system

without the express permission of the manufacturer.

2. System diagram

The smart energy management system ecoSMART regulates the energy flow between the heat pump and your self-consumption

installation in an efficient way. The control is able to adjusting the consumption of the heat pump to the electrical generation at any

given time, ensuring that the comfort of the home, configured in the heat pump, is not compromised. In this way we are able to

considerably reduce dependence on the electricity grid to supply the pump, which means a huge improvement in the total efficiency

of the installation and significant savings in the electricity bill.

Figure 2.1. General diagramo f the e-system

The proprietary software incorporated in the ecoSMART e-system allows to choose from a range of functions to maximise the

performance of your installation.

User manual ecoSMART e-system

Control of electrical surplus.

The ecoSMART e-system is able to determine when we are facing an energy surplus situation. In this case, and under a series of

configurable conditions for the beginning and end of the regulation, the control will adjust the consumption of the heat pump to take

advantage of this surplus in the production and storage of thermal energy, so that it is obtained with less consumption when the

electricity production from renewable sources falls.

Consumption control through heat pump regulation.

When the electrical consumption of your installation approaches a maximum value that can be configured by the installer, the heat

pump can limit its power to try to keep total consumption below the limit.

Control of non-critical loads.

It is possible to program the activation and deactivation of up to four non-critical loads by enabling four output relays supplied at

230V, configuring a series of parameters associated with the energy balance between the electrical grid and the consumption of the

installation.

Battery electrical storage

The ecoSMART e-system manages the charge and discharge of a bank of lithium-ion batteries of up to 12kWh capacity, which allows

to accumulate part of the surplus to supply the electrical consumption of your home when there is no production or to charge the

batteries from the grid when the energy is cheaper. As it is a modular system, you can adapt the capacity of the bank to your particular

needs.

“Plug&play” system.

The ecoSMART e-system integrates all the necessary elements for the start-up and correct operation of a photovoltaic self-

consumption system (with the exception of the PV modules) inside the case, which reduces costs, minimises the space required and

facilitates its installation.

Smart, versatile and intuitive management.

The system continuously monitor the operation of the installation and alerts us if there are any problems. The application interface

allows to easily visualise and control the functions of the e-system.
