To ensure all our zappis are compliant by the date the regulations come into force we will be taking a phased approach with the implementation of certain features. For information on how these new regulations may affect you and your myenergi zappi please read the appended information at the back of this manual.
1. Introduction Thank you for choosing zappi. Of course, we think you have made an excellent choice and are sure you will be incredibly happy with the features, benefits, and quality of your myenergi product. These instructions will help you to familiarise yourself with the zappi. By reading the instructions, you will be sure to get the maximum benefit from your 'eco-smart' device.
This is what we call 'self-consumption'. zappi is a Mode 3 charging station, compatible with all electric vehicles that comply with EN 62196 and EN 61851-1 plug-in electric vehicle standards.
If WiFi was not available during your installation, your installer may have skipped this step. As soon as you have WiFi availability you can connect by following the steps below. It is important to connect your zappi to the internet to install the latest firmware and receive any future firmware updates.

NOTICE In most cases you should leave the “Show IP Settings” option unticked. However, if you want to give your zappi a fixed IP address then tick the “Show IP Settings” box and fill in the extra information required. NOTICE Please be patient.
2. When asked if you have a ‘hub’ select, ‘No’ as this is your first device which already has a built-in virtual hub (vHub). 3. Enter the ‘Reg S/N’ and ‘Reg code’ (These can be found in your zappi device settings; menu > Information > Page 2.).
Charging Connection When cable not in use, the charging cable should be unplugged and Point (untethered units) stored in a cool dry place. RGB Indicator Visual Indicator that changes colour dependant on the zappi's charging state. (See 9.2 for key)
These icons indicate that the import limiting is active (house), Demand Side Response (~) or the eSense input is live (e) zappi Icon If you see wavy lines above the zappi icon, the unit is thermally limiting! The output power is temporarily reduced.
Enough surplus is available and zappi is about to charge the EV. A timer is decremented and can be set in the charge settings (ECO+ mode only). 9.4.4 Waiting for EV zappi is waiting for the EV to respond; the EV is not ready to accept charge.
Page 14
The charging session has been delayed by the EV because a scheduled charge has been set in the vehicle. 9.4.6 Paused zappi is paused for a few seconds in order to limit the start/stop frequency during ECO+ mode charging. 9.4.7 Charging The EV is charging.
(Please note: The EV charging standard does not support charging below 1.4kW) Example: when zappi is set to a Min Green Level of 100% you will need in excess of around 1.4kW of surplus energy available to start the charge.
(just like FAST mode), until a set amount of energy has been stored in the EV's battery. After which, zappi will revert to ECO or ECO+ mode. This function is useful if you arrive home with an almost flat battery and would like to charge the vehicle immediately to ensure there is enough charge for a short trip if needed.
SMART BOOST is shown. The SMART BOOST icon will show including the target time and the pre-set energy amount. zappi will then test the EV for a few seconds, to determine the maximum charge rate. The boost will start at the latest possible time to achieve the set energy amount, if the current charge session has already accumulated enough energy, the boost will not be required and so will not operate.
13. Boost Timer zappi When using ECO or ECO+ charge modes, can be programmed to 'boost' the current charge at certain times. When boosting, the charge rate is set to maximum (just like FAST mode), regardless of the amount of available surplus power.
14. Lock Function zappi can be locked from unauthorised operation. The Lock Function requires a PIN number to be entered before zappi the unit can be operated and/or a charge is allowed. The main display can also be hidden when is locked.
15.1 Time & Date The date and time are used for the Boost Timer and the savings calculations and therefore should be set correctly. zappi zappi In the event of a power-cut, and providing the has a connection to the internet the will update the time and date automatically once the power is restored.
Note: In most installations the Phase Return setting should be left as “N” for Neutral zappi includes built in 6mA DC residual current protection (RDC-DD in accordance with EN 62955). An additional upstream Type A RCD or RCBO is required 16.2 Device Limit...
12kW (52A). The user wants to charge in FAST mode. Without the Grid Limit set, the total consumption would exceed the allowed import current and trip the supply or blow a fuse. However, with a Grid zappi Limit setting of 60A, would temporarily limit the charging current to 8A (about 1.8kW) and the...
17.4 Export Margin zappi This sets a minimum level of export power which is maintained when is charging in ECO or ECO+ modes. Export Margin would normally be set to 0W (zero Watts) so that all available surplus will be used to charge the vehicle.
17.6 CT Detect Protection zappi When using a wired CT for the Grid current reading, can also monitor the CT to make sure that it is still zappi connected. This is important when using the Grid Limit (or “Load Curtailment”) function in the and is a required by some distribution companies.
The eSense input must be wired to a circuit which is live or an external volt free contact which closes during the economy tariff times for this to function. zappi 2. It can be used to limit the output or stop the charge –...
Screen 1, above, shows eddi as the highest priority and libbi as the lowest priority. So, eddi will receive any surplus energy first, followed by zappi and lastly followed by libbi. As libbi is below both zappi and eddi, libbi can supply energy to them both (depending on the settings you have selected for your zappi and eddi devices).
Page 28
This means eddi will receive any surplus energy first before it is offered to the zappi and lastly it will be given to the libbi, providing eddi and zappi aren’t in requirement of it.

1.3.1 Delay Status You will be able to see if your charger is in a state of delay at any time as it will be displayed on both the zappi screen and in the myenergi app. Page 34 of 41...
1.3.2 Overriding the delay To override the delay simply press the ‘+’ button on the zappi or press the ‘charge now’ button displayed in the pop-up message within the myenergi app. If the delay is overridden your charge will start/stop immediately.
Defaulting to ‘ECO+’ Mode As mentioned in section 1.2 if your zappi meets the Smart Regulation parameters it will default to ECO+ mode upon first start-up. This can be changed to ECO+ or FAST mode at any time by the customer. See Charging Modes section of the User Manual for further information on modes.
Automatic Firmware Checking – zappi will regularly check for new software and will automatically display a message on your zappi screen to let you know in the myenergi app when updates are available. Tamper Detection – We have added built-in tamper detection to alert you if anyone has removed the front cover of your zappi.
Firmware updates can only be delayed up to 3 times. Tamper Detection A tamper detection feature has been added to our zappi devices. This ensures that any time the cover is removed from your zappi you will be alerted that it has been tampered with. AES Encryption To protect your data from eavesdroppers zappi uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to securely communicate throughout your home and across the internet.

only turn off encrypted communication locally between devices. Communication externally across the internet will still use encryption. Installer Requirements It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure they are compliant with Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021. This includes, but is not limited to: Installing only compliant charge points in private installs from and including 30 December 2022.
