1.1.3. Features Smart and efficient charging The EVNET belongs to a class of EVSE called smart chargers, because its entire functionality can be controlled remotely and automatically. This is enabled by the OCPP 1.6J protocol support embedded in the charger. This is a universally accepted control protocol for charging stations, meaning that any OCPP-based server can talk to, control, and remotely update the EVNET, independent of service provider and other factors.

The following table can be used to determine the approximate voltage drop at peak currents (calculated at 40A), based on the installed circuit total length, conductor material, and conductor cross-sectional area. The installed length is the running distance from the source panel to the EVNET (the table takes into account resistance in both legs of the circuit).
Page 12
The circuit voltage drop at peak load can also be determined using a test load R of lower power rating. The voltage drop is calculated from the difference between the open-circuit and loaded voltage at the circuit load side: Voltage drop = V open-circuit Load The nomograph below can be used to calculate the circuit voltage losses at peak current.
2.2. Installation: Mechanical The four main screws fastening the main body of the EVNET are located in the four corners of the charger body, and may be directly accessed (the felt protecting pads may have to be removed). The EVNET is intended for wall-mounting via four holes in the enclosure lower body, as seen in Fig.

2.3. Installation: Electrical 2.3.1. Overall system wiring diagram Useful hint: Due to the universal availability of CAT5 UTP cable, it is advisable to use it as a combined cable for the Ethernet and CT clamp connections, avoiding a second run of signal wires. Two twisted pairs are used for the CT clamp connection and two for the Ethernet Tx and Rx lines.

The connection terminal is located on the EVNET body. One side is connected to the EVNET board via short conductors that have been prepared at the factory. If the connecting cables are detached from the main assembly, the following diagram illustrates their connection.
2.4. Installation: CT clamp The CT clamp is intended to be installed ahead of the MCB. It monitors the total system current draw and relays the values to the EVNET, which can then regulate its output power to prevent the MCB from tripping. Once installed, the CT clamp can be configured in the web client, as described in section 2.5.1 2.5.
2.5.1. Accessing the web client and preview The EVNET has a backend that is accessible via a web interface. The web client can be accessed from any HTML browser on a Wi-Fi enabled device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. On startup, the EVNET broadcasts its name and serial number as a Wi-Fi network.

2.6. Installation: troubleshooting 2.6.1. Verifying charger functionality: At power on, the EVNET has default settings and configuration, which allow it to work as a basix charger in the offline state. It is possible to verify its basic functionality by plugging in an EV and observing that the charger starts a charging session.
3.1. Using the charger and the app After the EVNET charger has been correctly installed and set-up, it can be controlled via the EVPoint mobile app. Setting up the app is outlined in the following steps: 1. Install and open the EVPoint app on your mobile device.
3.1.1. DLM – using more than one charger in an installation (fleet, mixed/public use) 3.2. Troubleshooting (software and hardware problems) and 3.3. Maintenance and cleaning The EVNET is designed to be maintenance-free during its lifetime. It is not indented to be repaired or serviced by the end user and any defects or issues should be addressed to the installer and manufacturer technicians.

Temperature Current Limit Thresholds The EVNET monitors its internal temperature at two points. If the temperature exceeds values considered to be dangerous to the electronics and safety, the charger will first limit its maximum charging current to lower its power dissipation. If the temperature still increases beyond that setpoint (79°C), the charger will stop the session and enter a “Fault”...
