Pi²R iX

Full featured & powerful

The Pi²R iX is packed with useful features to enable great power savings.

​

Features:

• Separate AC & DC temperature settings

• Two internal software timers for AC

• Up to 350Vdc PV input (Voc)

• Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)

• PV Power sensor & tracker

​

Optional via Display:

• 3.5" full color touch LCD

• Data Logging

• IoT via WiFi

• Web APP for Android and Apple

​

The Pi²R iX can be used with any existing 50-300 Liter geyser as is. Power is fed to the geyser as usual, however temperature is additionally monitored by a separate temperature sensor. The existing thermostat is used to easily connect the power cables, but set to maximum (70° Celsius) to also function as a safety cut-off. An external DB timer is not needed (when used with the optional Display) as the Display automates functionality.

The iX can operate in off-grid installations as it draws power from either Grid or PV for its internal circuitry. The Display also charges from either Grid or PV and has a big enough battery to last through the night. We do however recommend that off-grid installations use an optional higher capacity battery for the display as this will help during winter time when nights are a bit longer.

Frequently asked questions

• Do the iX/Mocro feed the element with DC?

  • No.

  • The modified wave is safe to controll with the existing thermostat.

• What is the maximum power I can connect to the iX?

  • The important part is to stay below 325Vmp (350Voc) input.

  • 240Vmp with a 4kW element is the recommended Maximum.

  • If too much Amps are available, the element will limit itself.

• Why not use 30-40V?

  • Because we feed the standard 230V element, we need a bit higher voltage than our competitors with dedicated low voltage DC element.

• Can I connect panels with more than 15A output?

  • Yes.

  • The iX measures the input current and will limit itself to not draw too much amps.

• My panels are capable of 20A, why is the iX not using all of it?

  • Firstly, the element only draws what it wants on a certain voltage. See power throuhput formula.
    Secondly, the iX limits itself to draw only 15A as not to damage its internal components.
