Safety Notes

Please read and follow the safety instructions for the installation and commissioning of the charging station in the supplied manuals prior to installation and commissioning.

Failure to observe the safety instructions can result in risk of death, injury or damage to the device!

The device manufacturer assumes no liability for resulting claims!

⚠️ WARNING! Danger due to electric shock and fire hazard!

• Installation, commissioning, maintenance or retrofitting of the charging station must be performed by correctly trained, qualified, and authorized electricians who are fully responsible for compliance with existing standards and installation regulations.
• At the right-hand side of the connector location, there is an Ethernet connector and terminals for enabling input and switch contact output. Only connect extra-low voltages to inputs X1-X4, which have a safe separation from dangerous voltages. Connecting higher voltages than those specified in the full installation guide is dangerous and might cause an electric shock or a fire hazard. Refer to the full installation guide for specific voltage requirements.

Power Supply

Selecting the RCD / Fault Current Circuit Breaker

• Each charging station must be connected via a separate RCD.
• No other consumer loads may be connected to a charging station RCD.
• An RCD of at least Type A must be used, as all variants have internal DC fault current monitoring ≥ 6 mA.

Selecting the Line Circuit Breaker

The circuit breaker nominal current must be determined in accordance with its type plate data, together with the desired charging power (DIP switch settings for charging current specification) and the supply line.

DIP switch settings ≤ Circuit breaker current ≤ Supply line capacity ≤ Nominal current

The power supply (supply line) must be hardwired to an existing domestic installation and comply with the applicable national regulations.

Installation Steps

A. Removing the Covers

Diagram A shows the three main components for removing covers: the front cover, the back cover, and the main charging station unit.

• 1. Remove the front cover.
• 2. Remove the back cover.
• 3. Remove the charging station from the mounting bracket.

B. Preparing for Cable Insertion

Diagram B illustrates two methods for preparing cable entry.

• Surface-mounting cable installation:
• 1. Break out the required cable insertion openings.
• 2. Insert cable glands.
• 3. Tighten the cable glands from the back of the charging station. Pay attention to leak tightness.
• Flush-mounting cable installation:
• 1. Break out the required cable insertion openings.
• 2. Insert double-membrane seals.

C. Mounting the Charging Station

Diagram C details the mounting process. It involves using a drilling template, drilling holes, installing hanger bolts, securing the station, and connecting the cable.

• 1. Use the drilling template with the white surface facing outward.
• 2. Drill the holes. Insert anchors if required. Screw the hanger bolts into the holes, leaving the outer 20mm exposed.
• 3. Using washers and nuts, secure the charging station to the hanger bolts. Washers can be used to level the unit if the wall is not straight.
• 4. Place the charging station and cable holder (optional) on the wall.
• 5. Pull the cable through prepared openings until the cable sheath is visible in the connection area, then tighten cable gland nuts.
• 6. Only vertical installation is permitted. Mount the charging station at a 90° angle to the mounting surface. Inclined mounting prevents water drainage, which can damage the device.

D. Wiring the AC

Diagram D shows the AC wiring steps. It includes preparing wires, using a screwdriver to open spring terminals, inserting wires, and connecting L1, N, PE for single-phase. It warns against foreign objects and notes the spring-type terminals.

• 1. Cut connection wires to appropriate length; the PE conductor must be longer.
• 2. Strip wires to approximately 12 mm. Use ferrules for fine, stranded wires.
• 3. Insert a flat-head screwdriver (5.5mm) into the spring-type supply terminal, resting on the housing.
• 4. Push screwdriver straight in and down until the contact opens completely.
• 5. Insert wire into the terminal opening and pull screwdriver out.
• For single-phase installation, connect the supply to L1, N, and PE.
• Keep the connection area clean to avoid foreign objects (e.g., pieces of wire).
• Supply terminals are spring-type; observe handling instructions.

Configuration and Connectivity

E. Communication Wiring

Diagram E covers communication wiring, detailing connections for Ethernet and LSA+.

• Ethernet: Crimp the connector and insert it into the designated X3 port.
• LSA+: Pull the cable through the gland and insert it into the designated X4 port. For LSA+, follow wire color connection instructions in the installation manual Chapter 7.6.
• Skip this step if using Wi-Fi; refer to Step J for Wi-Fi configuration.

F. DIP Switch Settings

Diagram F explains DIP switch settings (DSW1 and DSW2) for configuring the maximum charging current. It lists current values and corresponding switch positions. The charging station default setting is 16A. Changes take effect after a restart (press Service Button until first 'Beep'). Check that DSW1.3 is ON. For maximum charging current settings, adjust only DSW1.6-DSW1.8.

G. Setup

Diagram G shows basic setup indicators: AC ON/OFF status, an 'out of service' state, and a 10-minute timer. The LED turns blue when Authentication is turned on. Firmware updates may install automatically upon initial internet connection; follow the process using SetApp.

H. Commissioning Mode

Diagram H outlines the commissioning mode steps. It involves setting DSW2.8 to ON, pressing the service button to activate the contactor for 10 minutes for testing, and then setting DSW2.8 to OFF and pressing the service button again.

• 1. Set DSW2.8 to ON.
• 2. Press the service button. You will hear a 'Beep' sound (?), and the contactor is turned on for approximately 10 minutes.
• 3. Perform required commissioning tests at the charger contact points (gun or socket).
• 4. Set DSW2.8 to OFF.
• 5. Press the service button. You will hear a 'Beep' sound (?).

I. Replacing the Covers

Diagram I shows the process of replacing the covers, emphasizing that all covers must be installed with screws firmly tightened and seals used if necessary.

J. Wi-Fi Configuration (Optional)

Diagram J provides optional Wi-Fi configuration steps. It guides users to connect to the charger's Wi-Fi, access the web interface, change credentials, and connect to the home network. It lists default network details: SSID '23314353', IP '192.168.2.1', username 'admin', password '23314353'.

• 1. Connect your phone to the EV Charger Wi-Fi access point (search for Default SSID, use Default Hotspot Password).
• 2. Open a browser and enter the WLAN Hotspot IP address (192.168.2.1).
• 3. Enter WebUI default username (admin) and password (23314353).
• 4. Change the password (must be 10 characters: 1 uppercase, 1 lowercase, 1 number).
• 5. Go to Configuration > Network Connection.
• 6. Change WLAN/Wi-Fi from Off to On.
• 7. Select Refresh to search for networks.
• 8. Select the network the inverter connects to, or type the SSID.
• 9. Enter the network password and select Apply. The EV Charger restarts and connects to Wi-Fi (may take up to 10 minutes).

K. Pairing and Verification

Diagram K explains pairing the inverter via SetApp and device manager, which automatically registers the charger. It also mentions RFID configuration using the mySolarEdge app.

• To pair the inverter, go to SetApp > Commissioning > Device Manager and follow instructions. The EV Charger registers automatically in the Monitoring platform.
• For RFID configuration, instruct the homeowner to use the mySolarEdge app to authorize and manage cards.
