Any resulting damage is excluded from New Vehicle Limited Warranty and the EV Charger Limited Warranty.
2.2. Features • Built-in with over-voltage protection, over-current protection, over temperature protection, ground fault detection, CP abnormal signal protection and Type A RCD for Europe standard. • Operating temperature range: -25°C to 55°C. • IP55 protecting rate, operating humidity range 0-95% for indoor and outdoor. • Built-in temperature sensor for fire protection. • Easy cable storage. • The EV charger can be wall-mounted or pole-mounted. There are three wiring configurations for the EV charger - bottom, top and rear wiring.
3. Preparation for Installation 3.1. Installation Requirements Installation of the EV Charger requires that you: • Calculate the existing electrical load to determine the maximum operating current. • Calculate the distance to ensure minimal voltage drop. • Obtain any necessary permits from the local authority that has jurisdiction and confirm that the follow-up inspection has been scheduled by an electrician after the installation is complete. •...
3.2. Electrical Wiring 3.2.1. 230V Single-Phase The L, N and PE should be wired according to local requirements. The phase used must measure 230V (±10%). • WARNING: Each ground must be connected to neutral at only one point, or the EV charger cannot operate. • WARNING: Before installing the EV charger, identify the type of utility service connection available on site. If you are unsure about the type of connection available at the service panel, consult an electrician for assistance.

WARNING: Be careful of electric shock! Before use, use a voltmeter to confirm that there is no voltage on the power supply line or terminal to ensure that the power has been cut off. 5.2. Reinstall the sealing cover and Turn Power ON • Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws on the sealing cover. Ensure to tighten screws to these specification: 1.5N·M~1.8N·M torque.
5.4. Leakage Test • Located just below the Emergency Shutdown Button is a small red button which is designed to perform a Leakage Test to ensure that there are no faults within the EV Charger. • When pressing this button, the MCU will control the circuit to send out a small 10mA analog DC leakage to the Type A RCD to ensure it is functioning properly.
6. Operating Status 6.1. Power ON Checking Check Content Check and ensure the circuit breaker for the EV Charger is correctly selected. Confirm that there is no short circuit between the AC output L/N/PE of the charging. Confirm that the EV Charger is not connected to the vehicle. Ensure the circuit breaker is closed. The charger is powered on, and the power-on-self-check is completed in about 10 seconds. After the power-on-self-check is completed, observe the status of the LED indicator. Normal standby: Green flashing light ON. Equipment failure: Yellow light always ON.
Poor grounding/Reversed Red Light ON wire connection Over-voltage Protection Red light flashes (flashing once every 500MS intervals, and then repeats after waiting for 2 seconds) Under-voltage Protection Red light flashes (2 flashes at 500MS intervals, and then repeats after waiting for 2 seconds) Over-current Protection Red light flashes (interval 500MS) Temperature Red light flashes (interval 200MS) Leakage Protection Red light flashes (interval 500MS flashes 3 times, wait 2 seconds and repeat) LED board is offline The yellow light is on once and then flashes 2 times intermittently (after the yellow light is on for 1 second, it flashes 2 times and 2 seconds at an interval of 250MS) Plug and auto-start...
7. Maintenance Instructions In order to ensure the normal service life of the EV Charger and reduce the risk during use, it must be serviced within the specified time period; the service of the equipment should be carried out by professionals, and qualified and correct tools should be used. 7.1. Product Servicing • Regularly check whether the product is damaged. •...
• Do not disassemble or modify charging facilities and wiring without authorisation, otherwise it may cause fire and electric shock accidents. • In the event of a power failure, there may be a risk of electric shock; charging equipment maintenance is not allowed when the power is not disconnected, and there is a risk of electric shock. 7.4. Risk Notification • Please confirm whether the parameters of the electric vehicle and the charging equipment match before use, otherwise it may cause damage to the vehicle. • It is strictly forbidden to use the EV Charger in the case of equipment failure.
1. Precautions 1. The DLB box should be installed indoors and in a dry environment, ideally within close proximity of the home’s main panel. 2. This unit should only be installed by a qualified professional. 2. Description 2.1. Introduction The DLB (Dynamic Load Balancing) allows the EV Charger to balance its power output to levelise power consumption across all loads within the household. The DLB box includes a 7 segment display allowing it to visualise the DLB current. The buttons below are used to set the current threshold.
3. Installation Instructions 3.1. Accessories DIN rail 105mm Current Transformer M4*30 expansion screw 3.2. DIN Rail Installation Step 1 Wall Place the rail horizontally DIN rail on the wall to trace the holes. Use an electric drill to drill the holes. Drill Step 2 Back Wall...

3.4. Connection Connect the CT wires to the DLB box, located on top of the unit. Ensure the CT clamp is appropriately located on the correct incoming main line. Minimise the length of the wire running from the CT clamp to the DLB box; alternatively use a longer Ethernet cable to connect the DLB box to the EV Charger. Incoming mainline DLB box Current Ethernet transformer cable (CT) 3.5. Network Connection: 1. Connect the 2.
4. Instructions & Troubleshooting 4.1. Setup Instructions Adjust the buttons on the DLB box to set the DLB current value to match the homes MCB value. Follow the steps shown in the figure below: Guide: The 7 segment display (1) shows the total current draw of the house (99A is the max value for this box). During the setup, you must input the home’s MCB value to ensure the DLB works effectively. Hold the minus button (2) to decrease the DLB threshold amperage. Hold the positive button (1) to increase the DLB threshold amperage.
