			==Teltonika Energy App Settings==
			===General meter settings===
			If you want to enable dynamic load management with a smart meter, it is important to correctly configure the general meter settings. To ensure everything works correctly, please apply the following setup :

	~~===Solar EV charging-Measuring device===~~		* Open user menu
	'''~~Measuring device~~'''~~: The~~ meter ~~should be selected~~. For ~~UK chargers, it~~ is ~~possible~~ to ~~choose CT clamps.~~		* Open "'''''Installer Menu'''''"
	~~[[File:Ct~~-~~MeasuringDevice.png\|frameless\|left]]~~		* Open "'''''Load Balancing'''''" menu and select Modbus RTU meter.
	~~[[File:Measuring Device-Meter.jpg\|frameless\|center]]~~		* Enable "'''''Load Balancing'''''"
			* If smart meter is connected with RS485 wires, press "'''''Search For Device'''''"
			* *'''ONLY If TeltoCharge is unable''' to identify energy meter - use "'''''Manual Setup'''''"

	~~'''Energy meter address'''~~: ~~This information can be found in the meter settings accessed through the meter display. If the address cannot be located, it is recommended to consult the smart~~ meter ~~manual~~.		[[File:Loadbalancing evc16 meter.png\|frameless\|764x764px]]

	'''~~Current update interval~~'''~~: By default~~, it ~~is set to 3 seconds. However, there may~~ be ~~cases where the user needs~~ to ~~increase this value. For instance, if there are significant distances between~~ the ~~charger and the smart meter~~.		=== General CT settings===

			If you want to enable dynamic load management with a CT, follow the steps below

			* Open user menu
			* Open "'''''Installer Menu'''''"
			* Open "'''''Load Balancing'''''" menu and select CT.
			* Enable "'''''Load Balancing'''''"
			* Calibrate the CT clamp, it must be connected to the port but not yet clamped around a wire [[File:Loadbalancing evc16 ct.png\|frameless\|594x594px]]

			#'''ECO+ surplus minimum''' - This setting requires the minimum value of surplus solar energy to be reached in order to initiate a charging session. If the minimum value of surplus energy is not achieved, the charger will remain in "On hold" mode, awaiting additional surplus energy. <br>
			#'''ECO charging minimum''' - This setting specifies the minimum value required to commence the charging process.

			<h2 style="color: #4a4a4a; font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 10px;"> Charging modes </h2>
			<ol style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0;">

			With TeltoCharger chargers, you can achieve three different solar charging modes, each offering unique benefits for various situations:<br>

			*'''Solar only charging profile''' - In this profile, the charging process is initiated solely using green energy. The minimum required value is 6 Amps. If there is less surplus energy available than 6 A, the charger will remain in "On hold" mode.
			*'''ECO+ charging profile''' - In this profile, the charging process is initiated using a combination of solar energy and grid energy. The user sets the ECO+ surplus minimum value, which determines the minimum surplus energy required to start the charging process. If the set value is less than 6A, the difference in current will be supplemented with grid power.

			Example:<br>
			''ECO+ surplus minimum value set to 1 A<br>''
			0 A (from solar) = charging process is not initiated<br>
			1 A (from solar) + 5 A (from grid) = 6 A charging current<br>
			5 A (from solar) + 1 A (from grid) = 6 A charging current<br>
			10 A (from solar) + 0 A (from grid) = 10 A charging current
			*'''ECO charging profile''' - In this profile, the charging process is initiated using maximum available solar energy in combination with grid energy. The user sets the ECO charging minimum value, which determines the minimum charging current. This charging current is first covered by the maximum solar energy available and then supplemented with grid energy.

			Example:<br>
			''ECO charging minimum value set to 10 A<br>''
			If 5 A (from solar) + 5 A (from grid) = 10 A charging current<br>
			If 9 A (from solar) + 1 A (from grid) = 10 A charging current<br>
			If 16 A (from solar) + 0 A (from grid) = 16 A charging current<br>
			If 0 A (from solar) + 10 A (from grid) = 10 A charging current

			<h2 style="color: #4a4a4a; font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 10px;"> Additional information </h2>
			<ol style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0;">

			There is additional information that is important to know when using solar integration, specifically regarding timers that dictate the start and stop of the charging process. <br>
			<br>

			If the Solar or ECO+ mode is being utilized and there is a sudden shortage of solar power to charge the electric vehicle, the charger will compensate by drawing charging power from the grid for the following 30 seconds and limiting the maximum current to 6 A until enough solar power is available. If no sufficient solar power is available after 30 seconds, the charger will transition to the "On hold" state and await the availability of additional surplus energy. Once there is sufficient surplus energy, the charger initiates a 2-minute timer during which it verifies the sustained presence of enough solar energy. After the 2-minute interval elapses, the charger proceeds to the charging process. <br>
			<br>

			This mechanism ensures that the charging process is flexible and responsive to variations in solar energy availability. By incorporating timers and checks, the charger optimizes the utilization of solar power while maintaining a reliable and efficient charging experience for electric vehicle owners.
