Pairing multiple ZinVolt Base systems in the ZinVolt app

First check that you have the latest version of the ZinVolt app.

Open the app and go to the dashboard, or home screen. Tap the picture of your ZinVolt home battery. This opens the page for that battery.

Next, open the battery settings. Under Acties (Actions), you will see Multisysteem aanmaken (Create multi-system). Tap it to start creating a multi-system.

Please note: this feature is currently only available for multiple ZinVolt Base systems. Connecting multiple ZinVolt Power systems as a multi-system is not yet possible.

Start by naming your multi-system. Choose a name you will recognise, such as “Home battery” or “ZinVolt system”. You can change this name later.

Named your multi-system? Continue to step 2.

Cannot find the ZinVolt Base in the app after it has been on for a long time? Its Bluetooth signal may temporarily be inactive. You can reactivate it by switching the battery fully off and back on.

Switch off mains power to the ZinVolt Base using the isolator or plug connection. Hold the on/off button on the side for 5 seconds, then release it. Wait until all status lights are off. Restore mains power: the battery starts automatically. Then search for the battery again in the app. View the full restart steps for ZinVolt Core and Base.

In this step, specify how the different ZinVolt Base systems in your home are connected. The app uses this information to control the multi-system safely and correctly.

In the Netherlands, a home battery connected through a standard wall socket is normally limited to feeding back a maximum of 800 W per circuit. A ZinVolt Base is therefore set to 800 W by default.

Is a ZinVolt Base connected to its own circuit in the consumer unit? Its maximum output can then be increased to 2,000 W.

Choose the correct connection arrangement for your systems in the app:

• Zelfde groep & fase (Same circuit and phase)
  
• Verschillende groepen, zelfde fase (Different circuits, same phase)
  
• Verschillende fases (Different phases)
  

Important: a ZinVolt Base set to 2,000 W must always be connected to its own dedicated circuit. Using several systems at 2,000 W? Each system must have its own circuit.

Unsure which option to choose? Check the consumer unit first or ask an electrician for advice before continuing.

After creating the multi-system, you can connect the other ZinVolt Base systems. This works in the same way as a normal ZinVolt Base setup.

Need a reminder of how to set up a ZinVolt Base? Open the ZinVolt Base installation guide.

Connect the battery to Wi-Fi. Once connected, the app automatically completes these steps: connecting to Wi-Fi, enabling multi-system, checking online status, connecting the battery and creating the multi-system.

When all steps show a green check, configuration is complete and the battery has been added to the multi-system.

Does the app show an error during Multisysteem aanmaken (Create multi-system)? Email info@zinvolt.com. We can then check remotely and help you connect the system correctly.

Once pairing succeeds, the battery screen in the ZinVolt app shows that the system is online. At the top, you will see how many systems are active in the multi-system, for example Online (2 systems).

Under Multisysteem (Multi-system), you will see all connected ZinVolt Base systems. For each battery, you can see whether it is online, its charge level and how much power it is supplying or drawing at that moment.

This makes it easy to check that all batteries have been added correctly and appear together in one overview. Can you see every system, and are they online? Your multi-system is successfully set up and ready to use.
