Overview
The following wiring diagram shows a suggested application and are examples only; there are many more possibilities.
Please take a look at the Safety section within the installation manual and read all the installation sections before attempting to install the eddi.
A good level of electrical competence and a reasonable understanding of domestic plumbing systems is assumed for studying this application example.

Functional Description
As well as water heating, eddi can be used with electric underfloor heating mats. In this application the water is heated as priority and when fully heated, the surplus power is instead diverted to the underfloor heating mat.
Heater 1 (the immersion heater in the hot water cylinder) is heated with surplus power until the water is hot and the thermostat opens, then eddi will immediately switch over to Heater 2 (the underfloor heating mat) (9) and continue diverting the surplus power.
During heating of the lower priority heater (Heater 2), eddi will switch back to the higher priority heater (Heater 1) every 15 mins to check if it can store any more heat.
The heating priority can be changed in the Main Menu (Priority).
The underfloor heating controller or thermostat (10) is wired to the eSense input of the Relay & Sensor Board (6). The eSense Input setting is set to Heater Enable 2 so only when the thermostat is calling for heat will eddi apply power to the mat. When the underfloor heating thermostat is open eddi will display Max Temp Reached.
Installation of the temperature probe (7) is optional; the immersion heaters' mechanical thermostat is used by eddi if water temperature reading is not required.
