INTRODUCTION RARON charge controller is intended for use in electric vehicle charging stations. It controls the charging procedure of the electric vehicle and communicates with the electric vehicle in compliance with IEC61851 and SAE J1772 standards. The product is designed to be mounted on standard DIN EN 60715 rail.
CL and GND, but increasing the charge current is not possible above that pre-set in the firmware. RECYCLING RARON charge controller is to be recycled according to your local guidelines of disposal of electronic waste.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS RARON charge controller is intended for commissioning by electrically skilled persons. Please observe local safety regulations! Installation requirements can vary by country or region, and the requirements of the local rules and regulations in your area must be met.
BUILDING THE EVSE REQUIRED PARTS The required parts will depend on the type of EVSE to be built. For EVSE with fixed cable the following is required: housing with DIN rail; contactor with appropriate current rating; RARON EV Charge Controller;...
USE WITH SOLENOID LOCK DSIEC-EL For use with solenoid lock (DUOSIDA DSIEC-EL or similar) the charge controller outputs are configured as follows: B – Signal. If the solenoid is locked +12V is expected, if it is unlocked 0V is expected. R and W –...
USE WITH SOLENOID LOCK DSIEC-ELC For use with solenoid lock (DUOSIDA DSIEC-EL or similar) the charge controller outputs are configured as follows: R and W – solenoid is powered through these outputs for locking. Solenoid stays locked while power is supplied and unlocking happens when power is cut.
USE WITH KÜSTER/PHOENIX CONTACT MOTOR LOCK For use with a motor lock (Küster 02S 0156758, Phoenix contact EV- T2M3S-E-LOCK12V or similar) the charge controller lock outputs are configured as follows: B – signal. If the motor is locked or unlocked 0V is expected, otherwise +12V.
manufacturer. The connections can also be determined using a multimeter. USE WITH ANOTHER MOTOR LOCK For use with a motor lock (that has 0 resistance between signal cables when locked, and infinite resistance when unlocked) the charge controller lock outputs are configured as follows: B –...
CONTROLLER TERMINALS The following table presents the descriptions of the terminals of the RARON charge controller. The descriptions apply to all versions of the controller, except for terminals B, R and W for which the operation depends on the controller version.

Solenoid or motor power connection. Control Pin. Connects to the CP of IEC61851/J1772 EVSE socket/plug. Proximity Pin. Connects to the PP of IEC61851 EVSE socket. Input Current. Connects to input current limit selecting resistor, switch or dial. Input current limit resistor values are listed further in the document.
INPUT CURRENT LIMIT RESISTOR VALUES The optional input current limit resistor between IC and GND can be added. This allows limiting the charge current of the EVSE or implementing a switch potentiometer. The resistor values (E96 1%) are listed in the following table.
If 0 Ω connection is added between IC and GND, the controller switches to State A and will not switch to other states. Note: these resistor values do not allow exceeding the maximum setting of the charge controller. E.g. if you have chosen a controller with the maximum firmware limit of 16A, the settings above 16A cannot be set using a resistor.
OPERATION ALGORITHM If no LEDs are lit, it indicates that the charge controller is not powered. On power-up the charge controller flashes LEDs in start- up sequence red, green and yellow twice to indicate booting up. After start-up the charge controller enters State A. In state A the yellow LED is lit indicating that the vehicle is not connected.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE The EVSE charge controller does not require maintenance. There are no user-serviceable parts in the controller. In case of failure the controller must be replaced.
This evaluation kit is intended for use for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION, OR EVALUATION PURPOSES ONLY and is not considered by RARON OÜ to be a finished end- product fit for general consumer use. Persons handling the product(s) must have electronics training and observe good engineering practice standards.
