3. Activate FlexiO
Complete the installation and activate FlexiO
Go to the IO Settings page of the FlexiObox and perform these last 2 steps.
Roadmap
Step 1: AP (Access Point) mode
The FlexiObox has its own AP for technical maintenance.
Normally, it is automatically turned off after the installation is complete.
If the AP is still active, switch it off for security reasons:
Slide switch "AP Mode"
Step 2: Activate FlexiO
By changing the EMS mode to Normal, you activate FlexiO. This will also start the FlexiO subscription.
Only activate FlexiO if the following holds true:
The user is linked to the FlexiObox
All IO Diagnostics checks pass
The installation has a digital meter. FlexiO can not optimize the energy bill for an analogue meter.
Go to the IO Settings page and set the Battery EMS Mode to Normal:
IO Settings page: Set Battery EMS Mode to Normal
From then on, FlexiO will begin to intelligently manage the installation.
FlexiO is now active
Congratulations! 🥳 You have successfully completed the FlexiObox setup!
Addendum: Battery EMS Modes
Battery EMS Modes
Notes:
Battery EMS Mode | Explanation |
|---|---|
Uninitialized | This is the default mode a FlexiO is in at startup/configuration. As long as the FlexiObox is not fully configured, it should remain in this mode. |
Normal | This is the mode in which the system should be placed when the entire fleet assignment and configuration process has been successfully completed. At this point, FlexiO will actively control the installation according to the set energy contract and start the free month of FlexiO control. |
Self-Consumption | In this mode, FlexiO controls the system and the battery operates in self-consumption mode. This means that there is very little added value. |
No EMS for troubleshooting only | This mode can be used when a problem with the FlexiOBox is suspected. In 'No EMS' mode, FlexiO will no longer drive the installation and it can be determined if there is a problem with the FlexiOBox or with other hardware such as the inverter or battery. |
Inactive battery for troubleshooting only | In this mode, the battery can be completely disconnected if FlexiO detects abnormal activity. |
Balance for troubleshooting only | In this mode, the battery's BMS is controlled to fully charge and then fully discharge to balance all cells (1000 watts). |
