f Strip the bus line and bare the shielding.
f Feed the BUS cable through the shield clamp 3.
f Secure the bus line with the shield terminal at the
height of the bare shield.

5.3.2 Downgrade input
By using the downgrade input, it is possible to reduce the
grid connection current that is not available at its maximum
level under certain circumstances or at certain times.
For example, you can control the downgrade input by the
following criteria or systems:
Electricity rate
Time of the day
Load shedding
Manually
The downgrade input is only present in Smart*
(S) charging stations with integrated MENNEKES

Controlling over the downgrade input requires a potential-
free switching contact that you must install externally. The
potential-free switching contact differs according to the
desired control system and could be, for example, a load
shedding relay or a timer. As soon as the potential-free
switching contact closes, the maximum grid connection
current decreases according to the configuration imple-
mented.
