METRON

Introduction

This adapter is used to switch on and check charging stations with Type 2 socket.

The adapter features two switches, labeled A and B. Switch A is used to send a "cable inserted" signal to the charging station, and switch B is used to send a "car charging" signal. When both switches are set to "1", the charging station will switch on. The LED display shows the presence of phases L1, L2, L3, neutral N, protective ground PE, and the sequence of phases. The phase sequence is important for certain electric cars, such as the Renault ZOE. On 3-phase charging stations, all 3 LEDs should be green, as detailed in the Diagnosis Display section.

Diagnosis Display

• All displays are green: The socket is connected correctly. L1, L2, L3, N, and PE are present. The rotating field rotates clockwise. ✔️
• Phase displays (L1, L2, L3) flash red: L1, L2, L3, N, and PE are present. A phase is interchanged. The rotating field rotates anti-clockwise. ❌
• Phase display L1 is off, L2 and L3 flash red: Error: Phase L1 is missing or interrupted.
• Phase display L2 is off, L1 and L3 flash red: Error: Phase L2 is missing or interrupted.
• Phase display L3 is off, L1 and L2 flash red: Error: Phase L3 is missing or interrupted.
• Display N flashes red: The phase displays (L1-L3) may correspond to the diagnoses above (correct or error). Error: The neutral wire N is missing or interrupted. A phase is interchanged, if an additional phase diagnosis (phase display L1-L3) shows an error.
• PE display is off: The phase displays (L1-L3) and display N may correspond to the diagnoses above. Error: The earth (PE) is missing or interrupted. No device must be connected to the socket. It is recommended to have a specialist check the socket.

Technical Specifications

Green Production

All METRON products are manufactured using a carbon-neutral "Sustainable energy cycle" method. The production plant is the first fully sustainable facility for EV charging cables. Energy for heating, cooling, production processes, and employee transportation (excluding heavy material deliveries) is generated by two photovoltaic power plants and stored in four batteries. The majority of raw materials, including cables and plugs, are sourced from within the EU to shorten supply chains and support the local economy. Purchasing METRON products contributes to the development of a sustainable economy.
