3. Setup

3.1 Pre-use Preparation

1. Ensure that there are no open flames around the equipment and that the surrounding space is not blocked.
2. Ensure that the equipment casing and charging cable are not damaged.
3. Ensure proper maintenance of equipment.
4. Make sure the emergency stop button is popped up. If it has been pressed, rotate the button clockwise to turn it back.

3.2 Physical Installation

The charging station is designed for wall mounting. Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Step 1: Mount the Bracket
   According to the position of the holes on the metal back mounting bracket, use an electric drill to create holes in the corresponding positions on the wall. Refer to the diagram below for recommended installation height (e.g., 1100mm from the top of the charger to the ceiling, 1280mm from the top of the charger to the floor, 800mm from the bottom of the charger to the floor). Insert expansion tubes into the holes and use long screws to fix the metal mounting bracket to the wall.

   

2. Step 2: Hang the Charger
   After fixing the metal bracket to the wall, hang the charger on the bracket. Use screws to secure the metal bracket underneath the charger to the wall.
3. Step 3: Install Charging Plug Holder
   Install the charging plug holder in a convenient position near the charging station.
4. Step 4: Connect Power Supply
   Connect the power supply to the charging station and ensure it can work properly. Refer to the wiring diagrams below for single-phase and three-phase connections.

3.3 Wiring Diagrams

Ensure correct wiring based on your charger's phase configuration:

Note on Type 2 Plugs:

• Type 2 Single Phase: L2 and L3 pins have no silver. Only supports single-phase charging.
• Type 2 Three Phase: L2 and L3 pins have silver. Supports both single-phase and three-phase charging.

3.4 App Installation and Connection (Tuya Smart / Smart Life)

The charger supports remote control via the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app (requires WiFi and Bluetooth function on the charger).

1. Download the "Tuya Smart" or "Smart Life" App from your cell phone's app store.
2. After downloading, open the app, turn on your phone's WiFi and Bluetooth.
3. Select "Add Device" and follow the in-app instructions to complete adding your new device. This typically involves searching for nearby devices and entering your WiFi password.

Note: The app can also be used without WiFi. Connect your phone and charger by hotspot first, then you can control the charger via Bluetooth within 10 meters (requires your SIM card to have a signal).

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Charging Steps

1. Standby Status: When the charging station is in standby mode, the interface shows that the device is ready for charging. The indicator light (for Wi-Fi function only) is green and always on.
2. Waiting for Card Swipe Status: After parking your car, take the charging plug from the holder, set the charging current (if not using app), then insert the charging plug into the electric vehicle's connector. Ensure the plug is securely inserted. The device will enter identity verification status.
3. Start-up Device: Use an RFID card to authorize the use of the charging station.
4. Start Charging: The device starts charging, and the interface displays charging status and information. The indicator light (for Wi-Fi function only) is green and breathing.
5. Stop Charging:
   • The charging station automatically stops charging when the vehicle is fully charged.
   • In case of emergency, manually press the Emergency Stop button to cut off power.
   • An RFID card can also be used to authorize stopping the charging process.

4.2 Key Operation Instructions (Control Box)

The control box features buttons for navigation and settings. Long press the designated area for 5 seconds to enter the setting interface.

• How to set the charging current: When the charging plug is not inserted, press button 'A' on the panel to adjust the charging current. After using the RFID card to turn on charging, the device will output the corresponding current. The current setting range is 8-32A for 7.6kW and 22kW versions, and 8-16A for the 11kW version.
• How to set delay time charging: When the charging plug is not inserted, touch the delay button on the panel to set the delayed charging time (0-15 hours). After swiping the card and turning on the charger, it will start charging after the set delay.
• How to set timing charging: Similar to delay charging, touch the timing button to set the charging duration (0-15 hours). The charger will stop after the set time.
• How to access the menu page: Long press the designated area on the panel for 5 seconds to enter the settings menu. For RFID-enabled versions, you may need to swipe the RFID card after the long press.

4.3 RFID Card Management

The charger supports RFID cards for starting and stopping charging. You can add or delete cards through the menu.

1. Access the menu and navigate to "Rfid Manage".
2. To add a card, select "Add Card" and swipe a blank RFID card.
3. To delete a card, select "Delete Card" and follow the prompts to remove the binding of an existing RFID card. Up to 10 additional RFID cards can be added.

To turn on/off the RFID Cards function:

1. Long press for 5 seconds to enter the settings page.
2. Swipe an RFID card to enter.
3. Navigate to "Setting" and then click to turn on/off the "CardID Check" function.

4.4 Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB) Function

The DLB function automatically adjusts charging power to prevent overloading your home's electrical system. It works by connecting an energy meter to your home circuit, which collects real-time current data. The charging equipment then adjusts its current based on this data and the rated current you set for your home circuit.

• Prerequisites:
  • 485 communication must be correctly and reliably connected.
  • The charging station and the energy meter must be on the same circuit as other household appliances.
  • The total current set on the charging station should be less than or equal to the household total current.
• Setting Home Rated Current: Follow prompts for RFID swipe operation before modifying. Settable range is 20A to 99A.

5. Maintenance

• Regularly inspect the charging cable and plug for any signs of damage, cracks, or wear. If any damage is found, discontinue use immediately and contact support.
• Keep the charging station and its components clean and dry. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Ensure the area around the charging station is free from obstructions and flammable materials to allow for proper ventilation and safe operation.
• The charger is designed with high-strength materials and a unique waterproof and breathable membrane to dissipate heat faster and extend its lifespan. However, regular visual checks are recommended.
