Page 7: Option 1: Using The App
STEP 2: start and stop a charging session Option 1: Using the app 1. Under Energy tab, choose your desired charging mode: Solar only, Solar assist or Fast mode by pressing the drop down and selecting the desired mode. You can change the mode on the energy tab at any point in the charging session, you do not have to unplug or restart. - Page 8 If your charger is not providing max charging speed, your current limit may be set too low. Once the charging session has begun, change the current limit by adjusting the slider up to 32A. Press the 3 dots in the top right to enter the settings.
- Page 9 Option 3: Scheduled charging sessions 1. Press the plus button on the top right of the Schedule tab, and set the start time and end time. 2. Select repeat to choose which days to utilise this charging schedule. You will charge with the pre- selected energy mode.

Page 10: Option 4: Rfid Card
Option 4: RFID Card Your charger will come with 2x blank white RFID cards To bind an RFID: Go to 'My' tab Select My Card Select Bind New Card Enter New Card name, and select the device to read the card Scan the card across the RFID Symbol. - Page 11 Guide to the energy tab On the top is the grid, the middle is your home and the bottom you will see your charger. In the grid section, you will see either one number or three numbers, depending on whether you have a single or three-phase charger.
- Page 12 Guide to the energy modes Fast Mode In this mode, the vehicle will be charged at maximum power. This power can come from a renewable energy source or the grid. If you have set a current limit on the schedule or by the electrician during installation that will determine maximum power.
- Page 13 Guide to Charging Records & Cost Estimates Records Go to the 'Records' tab for a complete overview of your charging history. You can choose the time frame of your records: 7 days, 30 days, 90 days up to 1 year, by pressing the days and selecting from the drop down menu.

- Page 15 Yes. If you have a solar system that is constantly exporting electricity to the grid, then the Ocular IQ Solar will allow you to use that excess solar efficiently to recharge your vehicle’s battery. We use a CT to measure the excess solar being sent to the grid in real time.
- Page 16 What does each charging mode do? The Ocular IQ Solar is designed to offer flexibility through three (3) charging modes: Fast, Solar Assist or Solar Only. For solar charging our preferred mode is Solar Assist as it always ensures a baseline load + excess solar.
- Page 17 Our experience shows that large variable loads like air conditioning can absorb most of the solar generation. Use the Energy tab on the Ocular App to understand the excess available and choose the Solar Assist mode if excess generation is consistently below the Single and Three phase threshold.
- Page 18 When Should I choose Fast, Solar Assist or Solar Only The key here is to know how much your solar is producing and when you need your car to be fully charged. The charger prioritises the home's use of excess solar first. Eg. the oven, TV, kettle and air conditioner. A negative value indicates you are exporting to the grid (excess solar) while a positive value indicates you are consuming electricity from the grid.
- Page 19 Solar Assist This is the ideal mode for solar users. Solar Assist mode balances usage of excess solar but avoids the potential of starting and stopping during a charging session due to fluctuations in your energy generation. As shown in the examples, the three-phase charger has only two (2) phases exporting 10 Amps while one (1) phase is only exporting 1 Amp.
- Page 20 Solar Only - Single Phase The ideal mode if you have a large solar system that produces a clear excess, in order to efficiently use your energy that has been generated, minimising the use of grid energy. The example below shows a clear -21.9 Amps excess solar which is ideal.
- Page 21 Solar Only - Three Phase The example below shows a clear -5, -5, -14 Amps excess which is ideal. The sum is -24 Amps, where when averaged per phase, comes to 8 Amps. This means L1 and L2 will import 3 Amps from the grid, whilst L3 will export 6 Amps to the grid.
- Page 22 Where do I download the Ocular App? The Ocular App is required to use the charger. Visit the Apple or Google App store to download the Ocular App or search via your relevant app store.
- Page 23 Is the Ocular IQ Solar OCPP compatible? Yes, the Ocular IQ Solar is OCPP compatible. Please note, if an OCPP software platform is enabled on the charger, the Ocular App and some of the local functions of the unit will not be available.
