NOTICE OF RESPONSIBILITY RESTRICTION
Despite the exerted efforts to make this Manual more exact, some discrepancies may occur. The information in this Manual is given on “as is” terms. The author and the publisher do not bear any liability to a person or an organization for loss or damage, which has arisen from the information con­tained in this Manual.
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before using this device, be sure to read and understand safety rules:
• Do not connect the load with a capacity more than 3.6 kW to every socket of the device.
• The automatic network load controller (АNLС) is designed to operate inside premises only. The de-
vice operation in high humidity conditions is prohibited.
• АNLС operation with mechanical damages on its case is prohibited.
• Do not connect АNLС to sources with nonsinusoidal voltage, e.g. UPS.
• It is recommended to connect АNLС to a grounded socket.
• Room temperature during АNLС operation must be from +10 to +35 °С.
• Do not use abrasive materials or organic compounds (alcohol, petrol, solvents etc.) to clean АNLС.
• If signs of failures are detected (for example, the output voltage absence in sockets), mechanical
damages, excessive heating of the device or odor, it is necessary to unplug the device immediately from the socket and address to a service center. See the list of authorized service centers on web-site www.real-el.com.
• Do not open or repair the device by yourself. It must be repaired by the qualified personnel only.

3. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION Purpose
Automatic network load controller (АNLС) is designed to organize the joint operation of two inde­pendent electrical devices, the total power of which exceeds a limit of a permissible power of a power supply line without automatic protection operation of the line and functional failure of the powered devices. Principle of its operation consists in using pauses in operation of some household applian­ces (boiler, convector, iron etc.), which can be disconnected temporally. You can connect to the net­work (3.6 kW), for example, a washing machine and boiler with a capacity of 2.2 kW and 2 kW accor­dingly. Their simultaneous connection without АNLС will result in disconnecting an input circuit breaker and the power supply network overload. АNLС reduces the load to wiring and promotes operation safety of powerful household appliances. Therefore, the application of АNLС provides a con- sumer with a simple connection method of additional electrical devices to the power supply network with insufficient power.

4. CONNECTION AND OPERATION
Attention! The device must operate in the power supply network protected by an automatic circuit breaker with the interrupting current not more than 16 А.
• Plug АNLС’s power cord into a standard socket of the home power supply system 230 V/50 Hz (see the tentative connection diagram in Fig. 2). Indicators and active.
• Connect one of household electric appliances to the second socket  the operation of which is uncritical to the short-time power supply failures (for example, electric water heater, electric con­vector, floor heating electrical system etc.).
• Connect an electrical device to the “Priority” socket , the operation of which is required at the moment and the power supply failure to which is inadmissible (for example, automatic washing machine and dishwashing machine, electric pump of the water supply system, electric kettle, mic­rowave oven, hair dryer etc.).
• If a device connected to the “Priority” socket  consumes more than 100 W, the power supply to the second socket is disconnected automatically. At that, the indicator is not active. The power supply to the second socket is recommenced automatically after 2 seconds after power reduction consumed by a device plugged in the “Priority” socket below 100 W (sleep mode, timer mode etc.). When the device connected to the “Priority” socket starts to operate at full capacity, the cycle recurs once again.
• Example of АNLС operation is given in Fig. 2. A washing machine plugged in the “Priority” socket is preset in the timer mode. While the timer of the washing machine does not start the washing mode, the water heater plugged in the second socket will continue to operate. As soon as the washing machine starts to operate, the second socket will be disconnected until the washing process is over (when the second socket is disconnected, indicator is not active).
