Installation
6.1 Equipment Supplied by User & 6.2 Tools Supplied by User
The user is responsible for supplying necessary equipment and tools for installation, which may include dowels, screws, washers, ferrules, a drill, drill bits, a level, and wire strippers/cutters.
6.3 Wall Mounting
A WARNING RISK OF DAMAGING THE CHARGING STATION. Do not perform the installation outside in rainy weather without protection from the rain. Protect the charging station from dust and water while fixing the bracket. Attach the charging station to a flat surface. Use screws, washers and wall plugs suitable for the wall material. Screw head thickness should be less than 5.5 mm. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
- Ensure there is enough space on the right side of the mounting position to operate the side button and observe the side LED.
- Cable entry can be from the bottom, through the wall, or from the top.
- If the wall is irregular, use spacers.
- If the power cable enters from the top, a knock-down hole needs to be opened.
- The mounting process involves drilling holes, attaching a bracket, and then securing the charging station to the bracket using screws.
6.4 Wiring
- Choose the appropriate gasket for the power cable diameter. If the gasket-small is chosen, cut the hole size according to your cable diameter.
- Ensure the gasket direction is correct.
- The wiring process involves routing cables, securing them with clamps, and connecting them to the appropriate terminals within the charging station.
- For iMNX/TIC/DSO wiring, ensure DSO terminals are connected only to dry contacts without voltage, and IMNx terminals are connected to E1 E2 IMNx or MNx terminals.
- The document details wiring for 230V AC 1-phase and 400V AC 3-phase connections, including variations for 'No Neutral' configurations.
- Ensure the grounding wire is reliably connected.
8.4 Wiring
- Select the appropriate safety label for the required language.
- Ensure the inspection hatch is correctly screwed down.
- Ensure the power cable is securely fastened by the crimping collar.
- Check that the cover of the charging station is intact and hasn't suffered any obvious mechanical damage or deformation.
- Check that the charging station is securely fastened to the wall.
- Check that nothing is impeding the connection of the charging cable to the charging station socket.
A DANGER HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH. Disconnect the mains power supply before working on the charging station. Use a Voltage Tester of appropriate rating. Do not turn on the charging station if the earth resistance measured is higher than the threshold defined in the enforceable regulations. Connection to a Undervoltage release (MNx). It is not supplied with the charging station. Do not connect to an IT earthing system if the voltage exceeds 240 Vac. Install the over-current and residual current protections upstream of Charging station. Do not use a system which automatically resets the residual current circuit breaker. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
7.1 Wire-up Signal Line
TIC interface is limited to EVH5A22N400F.
7.2 Wire-up Power Supply
Detailed wiring instructions are provided for 230V AC 1-phase and 400V AC 3-phase power supplies, including variations for installations without a neutral connection.
Energy Management (For Schneider Charge with TIC Function)
- The charging station features a TIC input (Tele-Information Consumer) for connection to French utility electronic meters (former electronic meters and new Linky meters).
- The TIC link is wired to the terminal block I1-I2.
- The TIC interface limits the power consumed by the car when requested power exceeds available power, preventing main circuit breaker tripping. It can suspend charging if the power demand is too high.
- Only one charging station can be interfaced with the meter. No manual setting is needed. The charging station automatically adjusts the maximum charging current based on information from the TIC interface (instant overall current and subscribed current value).
- A TIC simulator can be used if the TIC output of the meter is not easily reachable, or outside France where power is limited. An Anti-Tripping Module is recommended if TIC is not available.
10 Commissioning With eSetup Application
Commissioning requires the following:
- Wiring the charging station. Load management options should be installed before commissioning.
- Checking the connection to the domestic network (internet router), favoring a wired Ethernet connection for outdoor or distant installations. For Wi-Fi, ensure 2.4 GHz and sufficient signal strength.
