Page 12: Site Selection
Site Selection Selecting a site for EVSE installation will likely require consideration of a combination of factors. While every site is unique and every EVSE host has priorities for installation, common physical elements characterize every EVSE site design. Some of the most common design elements to look for: Power Rating of Charging Station Proximity to Power Distribution Box...
Page 13 Power Rating of Charging Station - Connecting the charging station to a power source will require the evaluation of existing electrical capacity. Sometimes greater power charging stations are unnecessary for the selected location. Such as workplac- es, where people tend to stay the whole workday and bigger power charging stations will not be beneficiating between charging station power and electrical system power, consider two parts: the electrical system at the location of the EVSE in-...
Page 14 Available Network Communications - Charging stations are much more with internet communication: mobile phone apps, payment solutions, charging reservations - all these functions are available with internet connectivity. When choosing a location for the charging station: make sure there is the possibility to share a network with the charging station. Charging stations usually accept all common communication types: Wi-Fi, LAN or GSM/4G.

Turn off the power to the Charging Station. If the charger with DLM option is chosen, you will receive 3 pieces of split-core current transformers and a smart energy meter: Installation: Follow the steps below to install Dynamic Load Manage- ment correctly:...
Page 43 Connect phases L1, L2, L3 of the power supply and the neutral to the energy meter. Connect the wire to each phase: U1; U2; U3 with the smaller connectors 10/11; 12/13; 14/15. (Pins 10 and 11 are shorted. You can use either pin 10 or 11 for voltage measurement). Attach the current measuring transformers to the each phase inside the power distribution box.
Page 44 Make sure that the power supply cables of your building are not thicker than 24 mm, otherwise they will not fit into the current 24 mm transformer. Make sure, that the current transformer is closed, otherwise the current transformer will not work.
Page 45 Dynamic Load Management (DLM) requires additional wiring be- tween the Smart Energy Meter and the charging station. Use the standard UTP Ethernet cable( or RS-485 twisted pair cable) for the dynamic load management system: Contacts 22/23 are ModBus communi- cation contacts. Use the black color wire for the 22 contact and the red color wire for the 23 contact.
