3.11 Operating modes

The device provides five operating modes that can be
changed even during operation depending on the configu-
ration. The operating mode is selected via the MENNEKES
Charge APP.
The availability of operating modes and functions
depends on the equipment and the configuration
of the device.
Operating mode "APP control"
In this operating mode, the charging process is
controlled by the MENNEKES Charge APP.
Operating mode "Mains control"
In this operating mode, the charging process is
controlled over an external contact (such as a
ripple control receiver). In addition, the available
charging current can be adapted to various main
/ off-peak tariffs as in operating mode "Time con-
trol".

Operating mode "Time control"
In this operating mode, the charging process
is controlled by the integrated tariff-switching
timer. This allows adapting the available charg-
ing current to various main / off-peak tariffs. For
example, during the off-peak period the charging
station can charge with higher charging power
than during more expensive main tariff periods.
The valid tariff periods supplied by the electricity
provider are entered in the MENNEKES Charge
APP and the device adapts the charging current
according to the periods entered. Updating the
tariff-switching timer and changing of daylight
saving / standard time happen in connection with
the charge APP.
Operating mode "Energy Manager"
In this operating mode, the charging process is
controlled by an Energy Manager.
Depending on the installed Energy Manager, vari-
ous functions are possible.
Operating mode "SCU"
In this operating mode, all charging processes of
the devices integrated in the network are con-
trolled via a higher-level back-end system (e.g.
chargecloud).
You cannot use the device with the MENNEKES
Charge APP in "SCU" mode.
