Charge Amps Amp Guard Installation Manual Installation may only be carried out by authorized personnel who follows basic safety precautions for safe and correct installation according to local, regional, and national installation regulations.
Amp Guard Amp Guard is a smart power monitor which enables dynamic load balancing for Charge Amps chargers. Amp Guard logs the total power consumption to the Charge Amps cloud service https://my.charge.space/ which automatically reduces or increases the available power to the chargers, enabling charging at maximum capacity without worry about blowing fuses.
Installation) Customer Needs to Provide LAN or WiFi Amp Guard must be connected to the internet to supply data to the load balancer which in turn communicates with the charging station(s). The customer must provide an internet connection via a network cable (LAN) or WiFi (2.4 Ghz).
IMPORTANT: It is extremely important for the sensors to be connected to the correct phase, the clamps to be in the right direction and connected the correct way into the Amp Guard terminals. The sensors must be positioned correctly around the main power cables according to the indicators on the clamps.
IMPORTANT: Each phase must be connected to the right terminal connector position for current measurement and load balancing to function correctly. The mains are used to power the Amp Guard and are used to measure voltage. The inputs for power supply are located on the bottom right and shall be connected in the right order according to N, L3, L2, L1 as shown in the illustration.
2. Go to mobile settings > WiFi and select the WiFi network “Amp Guard_*****” (* = Specific to Amp Guard’s serial number). 3. Connect using the password that is specific to your Amp Guard. 4. Enter the following address from a web browser: http://192.168.251.1 5.
4. Click “Search” to find the newly imported Amp Guard. 5. Click the serial number to go to the information page. 6. Click “User” and select user as the owner of the Amp Guard. If the user is not selectable, ask the customer to create a user account.
3. Edit the group (the load balancer group must be deactivated to do this). 4. Select the newly imported Amp Guard and enter the correct values for the installation, see information below. 5. Click Save and activate the load balancer group.
Maximum Current Per Phase – Settings A higher total current per phase is permitted when an Amp Guard is installed, since the Load Balancer automatically reduces the charging output if required. There is, however, always a risk that Amp Guard will stop sending data (network problems, current switched off, etc.).
