Page 6: General Warnings And Safety
The Smart Range should be installed in accordance with the extant wiring regulations (BS7671). • Use of an upstream O-PEN protection device is NOT permitted with Indra Smart Range. Use of such devices will VOID the warranty. • Before commencing installation or maintenance, the electrical power supply MUST be safely isolated. -
Page 7: Overview And Intended Use Environment
Overview and Intended Use Environment Indra Smart Range can be classified as a ‘smart’ electric vehicle charging solution because of the communications infrastructure which allows charging to be remotely optimised by the Indra App; where charging can take place when electricity is cheapest; or if immediate charging is required, its ‘Boost’ functionality overrides any smart grid criteria and provides instantaneous charging capability. Charging using Indra Smart chargers can take place at up to 7.4kW, but due to modulation capability (measured by the external CT clamp) this power output level can also be reduced. The Smart Range are intended for both indoor and outdoor installation, securely mounted to a wall or appropriately pedestal. -
Page 8: Smart Features
It works by monitoring the amount of power the installation is using via an external CT clamp and comparing that to the rating of the main cut-out supplying the installation. If the difference is greater than 32A then the charger will offer full charge. If the difference is less than 32A then the charger will only offer as much power as there is spare capacity on the main cut-out. Note: G100.2 defines how load curtailment is managed. If the charger is configured to use load curtailment and it loses contact with the external CT clamp, then the charger will de-rate its power output to 6A to protect the main cut-out, thus 6A is the figure that should be considered when carrying out the maximum demand survey. DC Leakage Protection An RDC-DD is fitted into Indra Smart chargers, offering 6mA DC leakage protection. This means they should be installed with a Type A or type F RCD up stream.

Page 9: Tariff Intelligence
This feature enables the customer to tell the charger what electricity costs them and when, the charger will charge the car at the cheapest times. This feature is also compatible with all time of use tariffs including agile. Solar Mode This mode can be selected in the Indra App and can enable the customer to use any excess solar energy (or any other form of micro-generation) to charge their car. The external CT monitors how much energy is being exported from the installation. If the installation is exporting more than 1.4KW, then the charger will offer the car a charge. -

This means you would only need to route a separate data cable... -
Page 27: 4G Pairing
The Smart Range can be connected to the internet via a cellular, 4G dongle fitted inside the charger. This method is ideal when cable routing to the router is not feasible, the Wi-Fi signal strength is too weak, or the customer wants to reduce visible cables. • Before installing a 4G dongle, check the speed and strength of the 4G signal at the charger location. This can be done by using a signal analyser. A minimum speed of 4Mbps is required. Note: 4G internet signal strength can vary based on usage in the area; provider maintenance; and in some extreme cases, the weather. This means that connectivity can be unreliable via 4G in some circumstances. • Connect the USB cable supplied with the dongle into the Beaglebone and route as per Figure 9 or 10. -
