NIBE - Wired connection - Energy (via SG-ready contacts)

What do you need?


In short

Extra information

General

  • Specific electrical wiring is required.



Your Niko Home Control installation meets the following requirements:

  • It has a connected controller II.

  • It is configured with the most recent programming software (version 2.17 or higher).

You need the following if you want to use the Niko Home Control energy-saving routines (e.g., solar or peak mode):

OR

in combination with potential-free contact modules (e.g. Finder 22.32.0.230.1xx0)

The connected double switch can be placed on a DIN rail using a modular holder (e.g. Legrand 412950)

Your Niko Home Control installation meets the following requirements:

  • It has a wireless smart hub.

  • It is configured with the most recent programming software (version 2.17 or higher).

You need the following if you want to use the Niko Home control energy-saving routines (e.g., solar or peak mode):

in combination with potential-free contact modules (e.g. Finder 22.32.0.230.1xx0)

The connected double switch can be placed on a DIN rail using a modular holder (e.g. Legrand 412950)

Your partner system meets the following requirements:

  • It is a NIBE F- or S-series heat pump or heat pump boiler with SG-ready contacts (Smart-Grid ready).

The partner system has to be configured to allow correct SG-ready contact use.

It is advised to configure the parameters in peak mode and solar mode as follows:

Solar mode

  • Level of excess solar energy that activates the device: 25 % of the heat pump compressor power

  • How long should excess solar energy be present before activating the device? 10 minutes (see the technical manual)

  • Minimum activation duration: 30 minutes

  • Optionally: define the latest start time and duration to ensure that the device is activated before the peak hours


Peak mode

  • Maximum power consumption: 100 % of the heat pump compressor power (see the technical manual)

  • Minimum activation duration: 30 minutes

  • Peak target value: the maximum power level that should trigger the devices to turn off

  • Peak mode type: Predictive
