Termination For proper operation, a 120-ohm terminator is required at the ends of the CAN and/or RS-485 bus.
The unit is equipped with an ethernet RJ45 port (see Figure 9). Connect Cat5 or better ethernet cable. This provides a 10/100 ethernet connection. Ethernet communication includes ethernet connectivity to the charger for monitoring and configuration via the SENS Setup Utility, Modbus TCP/IP (optional) and DNP3 (optional).
Connect a network cable from one charger to another using the SENSbus RJ-45 port on each charger to automatically initiate load sharing (see Figure 10). The only optional hardware required is a Cat5 or better RJ-45 network cable available either from SENS or local computer supply.
Refer to the label on the inside lower cover for factory configured output voltage, battery type and configuration code (see Figure 2). Review and adjust charger configuration using the front panel keypad or the SENS Setup Utility if factory configured settings require modification. See section 9.10 additional details on keypad navigation.
SENS EnerGenius® DC Wallbox Technical Manual This configuration code is intended for standard power supply applications where a storage battery is not connected. 7.3. Apply AC Input Voltage Verify the AC input is the correct value (188-528 VAC, 47-63 Hz) and apply AC to charger.
See Table 8 for typical alarm relay assignments. The relays can be configured to be latching or non-latching with adjustable delays using the SENS Setup Utility. The relays can be configured to be latching or non-latching with adjustable delays using the SENS Setup Utility.
Voltage factory alarm setpoint (see Table 13) or the configured level if setpoint is adjusted using keypad or SENS Setup Utility. The BATTERY DISCHARGING alarm is the first to trigger of three low output voltage alarms and is followed by LOW DC and then END OF DISCHARGE. Alarm setpoint must be set higher than LOW DC and END OF DISCHARGE alarms.

Check module input air filter and clean if needed. When this alarm is assigned to a relay contact CHECK FILTER will cause the assigned relay to change to the Failed state after the time delay.
SENS EnerGenius® DC Wallbox Technical Manual 8.4.33. AC Voltage High Indicates AC Voltage is above the AC Max Voltage alarm setpoint. When this alarm is assigned to a relay contact AC VOLTAGE HIGH will cause the assigned relay to change to the Failed state after the time delay.
Dynamic Boost can be enabled or disabled by the user at any time. Configure the charger appropriately using the keypad or SENS Setup Utility. Use of the optional remote temperature compensation probe is highly recommended to maximize charging performance and optimize battery life.
AC and DC power to reset the charger and resume charging. This safety feature can be temporarily defeated from the keypad or the SENS Setup Utility in order to charge/commission a zero-volt or fully discharged battery. To initiate the defeat system, navigate to the BATTERY SET UP menu to set the desired minimum startup voltage level.

Actual battery temperature is only displayed if the optional remote temperature sensor is connected to the charger and placed at the batteries.
SENS EnerGenius® DC Wallbox Technical Manual 9.13. Load Share Charger Operation Multiple chargers may be connected in parallel to provide charger redundancy and increased charging current. Load sharing chargers are fault tolerant; one charger failure will not cause failures in paralleled chargers.
10.2. Power Module Access The EnerGenius DC Wallbox is powered by up to two EnerGenius DC power modules. These modules can be accessed by removing the module access cover on the top of the unit (see Figure 13). To remove a module first unlock the module by moving the cam latch to the unlock position.
An alarm will indicate if a fan needs to be serviced or replaced. See Figure 15 for fan servicing details. Contact SENS for replacement components and detailed service instructions.
11.2. RS-485 Modbus—Optional Serial Modbus communications over RS-485 using RTU or ASCII mode are optional. Modbus communications settings may be configured using the keypad or SENS Setup Utility prior to executing communications. Modbus is provided over RS-485 using RTU or ASCII mode.
