Rolec Services Ltd cannot accept any responsibility for improper installation or any problems arising from improper installation. NOTE: Damage to the equipment, connected systems or to property caused by improper installation are the responsibility of the installer.
Product Overview Product Overview Versatile, sophisticated, and packed with the most-wanted smart features, along with never-seen-before customisable aesthetics. ZURA has been designed for both homes and businesses, providing up to 22kW superfast charging. This OCPP compliant unit offers plug & charge or pay-to-charge solutions via a mobile app or RFID operation through any OCPP back-office management system.
Users may need to consider an external antenna and/or booster to their Wi-Fi system to reach remote chargepoints. For Commercial installations, VendElectric is Rolec EV’s chargepoint management platform. Other preferred partners are: Monta, Fuuse, and ChargePlace Scotland, but others include Parkable and Ampeco.
Product Overview NOTE: The United Kingdom has introduced new regulations (SI 2021/1467) that apply to domestic and private EV chargepoints, and which aligns them with other ‘Smart’ appliances. The new regulations are, amongst other things, designed to balance demands for power and to deliver an efficient use of power across the country whilst maintaining a consistent and secure service to EV drivers, when and where they need it.
Rolec chargepoints are pre-configured to load balance with a 13A ‘buffer’. This means that whatever the property fuse may be, load balancing will start 13A before its maximum limit is reached.
NOTE: Where a Rolec Load Balancing Current Transformer (CT) has been installed and connected to a load balancing enabled Rolec chargepoint, it will reduce the supply of power to the vehicle where the combined demand of the property and vehicle would exceed the power available to the property as a whole.
Product Overview About PEN Protection The TruePEN system removes the need to install a dedicated earth for the chargepoint. In the event of a fault, the system will break all power cable connections between the chargepoint and the vehicle. A PEN fault is most commonly seen as either, an undervoltage or an overvoltage entering the chargepoint from the mains supply.

Units using mobile networks require a suitable signal of 14 CSQ or better. Units using Wi-Fi connectivity require a strong, stable connection. Rolec cannot be held responsible or accountable in the event that a unit using a mobile network or Wi-Fi is installed in a location without adequate network signal.
Installation 2. Make sure the electrical power available at the site is sufficient for the desired power output from the chargepoint. Chargepoint output power is managed by the chargepoint based on information about the site entered into the Configuration Application after installation.

Install the Chargepoint 13. Place the Mounting Bracket onto the wall. 14. Make sure the Mounting Bracket is level and vertical. 15. For rear entry cabling, make sure the power cable and any other required cables will pass through the large aperture in the lower area of the bracket when it is secured to the wall.
Install the Chargepoint 23. Make sure the entry point into the enclosure can be sealed with an appropriate cable gland. 24. Terminate the supply cable in the appropriate manner and connect it to the connection point within the chargepoint. 25. If required, connect the Ethernet cable to the Smart Communications Module. 26.
Install the Chargepoint Overview Power coming into the property is monitored by a Current Transformer (CT) that clamps around the property’s incoming power cable and is then connected to the chargepoint. The CT has a cable allowing it to be connected to the chargepoint. Additional cable may be added to the CT cable but to maintain a good signal, it is recommended that cables extensions are kept as short as possible.
Install the Chargepoint Connect the CT Cable to the Chargepoint IMPORTANT: A suitable cable gland must be installed to the chargepoint enclosure to accept the CT cable and maintain the IP rating of the enclosure. 1. Locate the EV Charge Controller enclosure and the connector marked CT.
Install the Chargepoint IMPORTANT: 3-Cable CTs Some models of CT used for Load Balancing have 3 cables. If a 3-cable CT is used, the H+ and H- cables connect as shown above. The third cable is part of the CT cable’s electrical screening and must be connected to the charger’s incoming Earth terminal.
Install the Chargepoint Install Charge Plug Holsters Charge Plug Holsters are used with tethered cable charges to help maintain the charging cable and plug in a serviceable condition, free from damage and contamination. Use of the holster also reduces the opportunity for the cable to be a trip hazard. 1.
This chargepoint can be managed by any Open Chargepoint Protocol (OCPP) 1.6J compliant chargepoint management system and can receive over-the-air updates. If Rolec’s own VendElectric service is NOT going to be used, another service provider will be required to provide chargepoint management services. Chargepoint configuration will need to be performed in accordance with the alternative provider’s instructions.
Configuration After Configuration 1. Once configuration is complete, the Host (owner) will need to install the chosen provider’s application to their smartphone. 2. Engage with the customer to install the appropriate application to their smartphone (or similar device) from either the App Store for Apple devices or from Google Play for Android devices.
Chargepoint Installation Completion Chargepoint Installation Completion 1. Make sure the… Chargepoint is secured to the mounting location. Chargepoint enclosure is free of debris. Cables entering the chargepoint are secure. 2. Make sure the electrical installation is complete: Incoming cables are connected to the relevant devices within the enclosure. All electrical connection points are secure.
Operation Operation As a ‘Smart’ product, this chargepoint can be operated and/or monitored by a wide range of web enabled devices. Alternatively, it may be operated manually via an RFID card/fob. VendElectric EV Driver Application The VendElectric EV Driver Application is a free download for use with smartphones running Google Android or Apple IOS.
Operation 16. If you are present when power for charging is made available, the status indicator will change to show a fixed green light. NOTE: Default Hours and Randomised Delay Following the initiation of the charge session, UK regulations require chargepoints of this type to apply power for charging during the ‘default’...
Operation About Charging Cables and Sockets The points below apply to Rolec cables and will be similar for cables made by other manufacturers. Always follow the manufacturer's advice. 1. Charging cables should be fully uncoiled when in use. 2. Charging cables should not be stretched or place strain on the chargepoint or vehicle connections.
NOTE: In the event of a hardware issue, always contact your installer first. If damage has been sustained to communications devices and/or other ‘Smart’ components, it is recommended that an approved Rolec installer is called to perform the repair. Damage caused to the equipment by misuse, lack of maintenance, inappropriate maintenance or modification is not covered by the manufacturer warranty.
Maintenance 6. Do NOT allow charging cables to become contaminated with water (or other substances). Always store cables in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. NOTE: Rubber ‘dust’ caps that may be attached to cables are only suitable for short term protection, or protection whilst stored in an indoor environment. They are not designed to fully protect against water ingress.
