Introduction to Zaptec Sense

We know that houses and apartment buildings have limited power. This is why we created Zapotec Sense. It helps you utilize your power in the smartest possible way, while  also protecting your circuit breakers. Charge as many electric vehicles as possible, as quickly as possible using the power available.

Important information

Included in the package
– Zapotec Sense
– CAT6 communication cable
– Adhesive magnet sheet
– Double-sided tape

Additional equipment (not included)
– Some AMS, e.g. Kastrup, needs an external power supply. Regular phone charger 5VDC with Micro USB-B connector can be used.

The HAN port on your smart meter is deactivated by default.
Please contact your electricity provider to activate it. Zapotec Sense can be installed when your electricity provider has confirmed that your HAN port is open.
See zaptec.com/han-port
If Zapotec Sense loses internet connectivity or is disconnected, the charging station will be set to provide minimum power (6A).
Minimum power can be changed in the Aztec portal.
