6. Operation / Installation Manual

6.1 Open the door

To open the door, proceed as follows. Open the cover for the lock before inserting the key into the keyhole to open it. This will bring the handle forward. Turn the handle half a turn after which the door is unlocked.

6.2 Mounting on the foundation

To fit the foundation, a hole must be dug of roughly L 900 mm x D 450 mm x H 450 mm. The bottom of the hole must be stable and levelled.

Place the foundation base level in the hole. The upper surface of the base must be flush with the upper surface of the grade / paving. The foundation must then be reinforced by adding at least two 20 kg bags of fast-setting concrete in the corners of the foundation.

After the fast-setting concrete has cured, the charging station can be mounted on its foundation using the nuts and bolts provided (nuts to the top).

The hole in the foundation and the charging station must be lined up. See drawing of the front of the foundation base. Take account of the connection face of the charging station in relation to walls, hedges, etc.

Also keep in mind that there is sufficient space for the operation of the charging station. For this we advise to keep at least 1 meter of free space around the charging station.

Diagram: Foundation Mounting

The diagram illustrates the foundation base plate for mounting the charging station. It shows a rectangular plate with dimensions 845mm x 684mm, with four corner mounting holes (labeled 1, 2, 3, 4) and additional holes for conduits (labeled 'Buizen in gaten positioneren'). The section view A-A at scale 1:4 indicates the plate thickness and hole diameters (e.g., Ø25mm, Ø100mm).

6.3 Inserting cable and securing with strain relief

Secure the power cable in the foundation using the cable gland. Connect the conductors of the cable to the existing main switch terminals (max. 15 to 22Nm bolt m8 oder 30 to 44Nm bolt n10).

Wiring Diagram

The wiring diagram shows the main power connections for the charging station. It includes three phase terminals labeled L1, L2, and L3, and a protective earth terminal labeled PE. These are the connection points for the incoming power cable.

6.4 Load balancer

If you want to install the charging station in combination with a load balancer, you need to connect it to the charging station as follows. The data cable from the load balancer should be connected to the grey terminal (see drawing).

7. Maintenance

⚠️ Always de-energise the charging station and read the operating instructions before handling maintenance or faults. Repair or replacement of components should only be done with the products approved by the supplier. Repairs and replacements must always be carried out by an authorised / specialist. Maintenance must always comply and be carried out in accordance with NEN3140 and NEN 50110 low voltage Euro standard.

Check the charging station for leaks. Check the connections of the main power cabling and ensure a firm connection of max. 5 Nm. Treat damage to the charging station with rust-proof paint.

8. Transportation and Storage

Transport the charging station (technical core) upright and prevent the paint from being damaged, as this could cause rust. The covers may be transported in various ways as long as they are protected from damage. Preferably store the charging station in a dry, non-humid space.

When hoisting the charging station into position, there are 2 securing holes for lifting eyes on the top of each corner of the charging station. The lifting eyes can be removed after fitting. To ensure a safe work setting, only a certified fitter may hoist the charging station. Please note that the weight is 285 kg.

10. Operation and Functioning of the Charging Station

The charging station can be operated with the charging card or a likewise key fob.

Before applying power to the charging station, it is necessary to contact the back office provider whose telephone number is listed on the charging system so that the charging station can be activated by software. The unique charging station number is required for this purpose.

10.1 Operation

Take the plug from the holder of the charging station that is suited to your vehicle. Then insert it in your vehicle.

Initiate the start/stop procedure by holding your charging card up to the scanning point. Firstly the plug is locked onto the vehicle.

The charging station then communicates with the vehicle and the back-office system. Once all security and payment guidelines have been checked, the maximum permissible charging current is forwarded. After some time, it can occur that the charging station activates the cooling systems fitted for this purpose to dissipate the excess heat via the venting duct. The charging procedure is now activated automatically. The AC charging process is indicated by a small light.

To stop the charging process, hold your card up to the scanning point. The charging process then stops. You can now remove the plug and hang it back up in the available holder.

10.2 Emergency Stop

In case of an emergency, the emergency button provided for this purpose must be used. This can be reached by pressing (breaking) the glass with your thumb.

When activating the emergency button, the charging process is immediately aborted both software and hardware-wise. When resetting the emergency button, the emergency button should be turned a quarter of a turn clockwise so that it shoots forward. Then, via the Back-office (see phone number on the charger), the charger will have to be restarted provided everything is safe.
