io7 Sense
Ratio io7 Load Management
io7 Load Management Options
The io7 Sense family can provide both static and dynamic load management, maximising your charging speeds whilst at the same time protecting the building and supply. The io7 Sense Pro can control up to sixteen io7s (32 vehicles) and the io7 Lite five io7s (10 vehicles). Both have the ability to take the power consumption of all sockets in use into a load calculation, allowing you to isolate specific chargers and maximise charging for VIPs, decreasing the consumption of chargers identified for visitors or other EV charging parking spaces.
Static load management of up to five io7s

The software within the io7 allows static load management without additional hardware, providing the io7s are on the same ethernet or WiFi network. During commissioning the primary io7 is identified and will communicate with the secondary io7s to manage the electrical load.
Static load management of six or more io7s

For six or more io7s the io7 Sense Pro is required. For ease of installation and reliability an ethernet connection is recommended, alternatively a WiFi or 4G connection can be used. When connected, the io7 Sense Pro has visibility over all the io7s on the same network; managing energy use across the installation and identifying VIP bays for priority charging.
Dynamic load management of up to five io7s

The addition of the io7 Sense Lite enables dynamic load management of up to five io7s. The Sense Lite is connected into the primary io7 to communicate the building energy use information into the system, this pillar then controls the secondary io7s.

In addition, when dynamic load management is required, the io7 Sense Pro has a simple connection from the building MID meter to directly read the building usage to balance the EV charging usage accordingly.
io7 Sense Scalability
The Sense Pro ensures that your EV charging installation will meet your company’s needs not only today but many years in the future, allowing you to add more EV charging points to your infrastructure as and when demand increases.
Ratio ticked all these boxes and more
At Garage Play we turn tired and run-down garages into a genuine new space for the home, this could be a gym, an office, or simply a neater, nicer garage space. As part of our offering we wanted to supply EV charging equipment, but we need it to be smart enough to cope with differing power availability and solar interoperability, reliable and robust enough to cope with everyday living, plus good looking to fit in with our total proposition. Ratio ticked all these boxes and more!
