2. Connect the station to 230/400Vac 50Hz (L1, L2, L3, N, PE) power supply (wall mount and standalone stations).
3. Apply the power supply and observe the blinking of blue status LED on the front side of the station. The number
of blinks indicates the maximum charging power to which the station has been set (1 blink=6A, 2=8A, 3=10A,
4=13A, 5=16A, 6=20A, 7=25A, 8=32A).
4. Test the functionality of manual charging current setting by pressing the push button on the front panel (blue
status LED OFF) and keep it pressed. After 5 seconds the blue status LED starts to blink (keep it pressed). Count
the number of all blinks. After the last blink the blue status LED will switch OFF and you can release the button.
16A charging stations maximum number of blinks is 5; 32A versions have all 8 blinks.
5. Explain to the client that blinking blue status LED represents charging in progress, status LED ON means that
the vehicle is not connected or charging has already been completed.
6. Explain to the client that they can set the maximum charging current if they press the button and count the
blue status LED blinks. The set value is saved in to the memory and stays saved also in case of power loss.
7.

Connect the electric vehicle to the charging station and observe the charging current measurements in WiFI Charge Control app. under “Advanced info”. Intentionally put the big load to each of the phases (one by one) to surpass the main fuse rated current and observe if the charging current decreased in the way the total main fuse current is not higher than main fuse rated current. To do that you need to connect powerful load to each phase (easiest way is to use regular 2 kW electric heaters – 1,2,3… connected in parallel. 6. Explain to the client that the charging station will automatically reduce or stop the charging in case of main fuse overload. In case of charging interruption because of overload the blue status LED will blink 4 times (with pause after 4 blinks) until the load on the main fuse is low enough to resume charging. The main fuse current on the most loaded phase needs to be app. 7A lower than rated fuse current in order the charging station will allow charging to start/resume. The status LED can blink 4 times even if the vehicle is not connected. This will inform the user that the charging cannot start until the other powerful house loads are switched‐off. 7. Explain to the client that in case of installed solar/wind/hydro power plant the charging station allows vehicle charging with higher overall current than the set nominal main fuse value (this function doesn’t work at night of course). This feature is active only in case Solar/wind/hydro power plant phases = House grid connection phases. ...

- Page 8 5. In case there are more than 1 WALL MOUNTED AND/OR PORTABLE station(s) to be controlled by the 3FD‐3 DYNAMIC EV CHARGING UNIT set the number of charging stations as described on Page 7. At the same time you need to set the parameter station ID for each wall mounted or wireless charging station (see Page 3 and 6) in the way each charging station has its own ID starting from 1. Example: you have 3 charging stations connected to the same main fuse; set the ID on first one to 1, second one to 2 and on the third one to 3. The station ID is displayed in the WiFi Charge Control app. in “Advanced info” menu. The DYNAMIC fuse protection charging works also in case you have a MIXED configuration ‐ 1 or more wall mounted and 1 or more portable stations powered from the same main fuse! 6. Test the 3/1‐phase wireless main fuse protection dynamic charging: Connect to WiFi and go to the Metron Charge Control application on one of the wirelessly controlled charging stations. Connect the electric vehicle to the charging station and observe the charging current measurements in WiFI Charge Control app. under “Advanced info”. Intentionally put the big load to each of the phases (one by one) to surpass the main fuse rated current and observe if the charging current decreased in the way the total main fuse current is not higher than main fuse rated current. To do that you need to connect powerful load to each phase (easiest way is to use regular 2 kW electric heaters – 1,2,3… connected in parallel). Simultaneously you can connect to Metron Dynamic power control application on the 3FD‐3 unit and observe real time load/currents there also. 7. If there is no signal from the 3FD‐3 unit detected on the charging station side (you can see that information ...
- Page 9 charging will be resumed starting on the stations with lower station ID numbers (lower station’s ID numbers have the priority over the higher station’s ID numbers). The main fuse current on the most loaded phase needs to be app. n x 7A lower (n = number of stations that will be allowed to resume charging) than rated fuse current in order the 3FD‐3 will allow charging to start/resume on the additional n charging stations. The blue front status LED on one or more stations can blink 4 times even if the vehicle(s) is(are) not connected. This informs the user in advance that charging cannot start until the other powerful house loads are switched‐off. 12. Explain to the client that in case of installed solar/wind/hydro power plant the 3FD‐2 DYNAMIC EV CHARGING UNIT allows vehicle charging with higher overall current than the set nominal main fuse value (this function doesn’t work at night of course). This feature is active only in case Solar/wind/hydro power plant phases = House grid connection phases. 13. Explain to the client that in case of using the a PORTABLE CHARGING STATION PC03X+ / PC04X+ / PC05X+ on 2 or more different places (e.g. the client has 2 houses) it is possible to install the 3FD‐3 DYNAMIC EV CHARGING UNITs on 2 or more different locations (e.g. 2 houses) with different main fuses and then just move/use the same PORTABLE CHARGING STATION on those different locations and have everywhere safe ...

- Page 11 LOCAL RFID cards management with Micro EVSE 3 DYNAMIC WiFI OCPP charge controller 1. Micro EVSE 3 DYNAMIC WiFi OCPP charge controller supports reading of ISO/IEC 1443A compatible MIFARE Classic RFID cards. If there is an OPCC connection established and the user scans/swipes the card the card number is sent to OCPP backend in order to check if the card is authorized or not. This is the first way the user can use the card. The second way of using the cards is to make local authorization by ADDING the cards to local authorized list of cards. This local RFID card list can store up to 100 cards and in case of starting the charging with those locally stored cards you don’t need OCPP connection or internet. Beside this the charging energy per each locally stored card is recorded. To see how much energy was transferred per each stored card you just scan/swipe the card and the kWh number will be displayed in Charge Control app. Charging energy can also be reset to 0 kWh on each card separately when needed. 2. DESCRIPTION OF local RFID cards management functions: When you scan/swipe any card you get the card number displayed here in this text box. After you scan/swipe the card you get card energy info. By pressing the “Reset” button you can reset card’s energy to 0 kWh. After you scan/swipe the card you can click/press: ...
