Settings In Operating Mode "Energy Manager; Charging The Vehicle; Charging Without Authorisation - Mennekes AMTRON Xtra User's Operation Manual

4.4.1 Settings in operating mode "Energy Manager"

The operating mode "Energy Manager" must be enabled
during the setting-up process by the installer to become
available.
If operating mode "Energy Manager" is selected, you must
make the following settings over the Charge APP or in the
portal of the "SUNNY HOME MANAGER" (SHM).
Charge APP - parameter "battery capacity"
Enter the maximum capacity of the battery of your electric
vehicle. The entered value is transmitted to the SHM as the
upper limit for the energy requirements for a charging
process.
Charge APP - parameter "energy demand"
Enter the minimum amount of energy for a charging process.
The value is transmitted to the SHM together with the
maximum charging time. The SHM calculates the amount of
energy that must be supplied within the charging time.
This ensures that the specified amount of energy is charged.
The remaining amount of energy required is obtained from
public electricity network.
Charge APP - parameter "maximum charging time"
Enter the maximum time for charging the amount of energy
to the vehicle specified with the parameter "energy
demand".
Charge APP - parameter "excess charging"
Select the option "excess charging" if you want to use only
excess energy for charging your electric vehicle.
The parameters "maximum charging time" and "energy
demand" are then ignored.
The amount of energy in the parameter "battery capacity"
is sent to the SHM as optional energy. You need to set the
conditions for the optional energy in the SHM portal.
If the "battery capacity" parameter is set to 0 kWh,
charging in operating mode "Energy Manager" cannot
take place.
Make sure that the ratio of the parameters "battery
capacity" and "energy demand" is a meaningful value.
The maximum charging power of the charging station
must be considered as well.

4.4.1.1 Charging in operating mode "Energy
Manager"
1. Connect the charging cable to charging station and
vehicle.
2. Authorise when needed.
 The charging station changes to the state "charging
active" and the charging process starts with a charging
capacity of 0 kW. From now on, the SUNNY HOME
MANAGER controls the charging power.
In case of connection problems to the SUNNY HOME
MANAGER, the charging current is limited to 6 A
(emergency charging).

4.5 Charging the vehicle

Warning
Risk of injury due to incorrect handling!
Using an extension cable or second charging cable may
result in electric shock or cable fire. Using extension cables
is not permitted.
 Never use more than one charging cable for
connection the electric vehicle to the charging station.
 Use only undamaged charging cables.
Depending on the configuration, charging is possible with or
without authorisation.

4.5.1 Charging without authorisation

If the charging station was configured during the setting-up
process that no authorisation is required, the charging
process starts automatically after connecting the charging
cable to the vehicle.
