The tables above can be used to determine the approximate voltage drop at peak currents per phase. The installed length is the running distance from the source panel to the charger (the table takes into account resistance in both legs of the circuit). For single-phase chargers, the following table can be used to determine the maximum power an existing circuit can provide, if there is no provision for a new installation: Derating guideline for single-phase charger...

2. Installation: Mechanical 2.1. Installing the mounting plate The charger comes with a mounting accessory to facilitate installation and servicing. The charger locks into the mounting bracket and is secured with a single screw, located under the service hatch. The bracket is wall-mounted via four anchor bolts provided in the kit. A drill template is available on the back of the quick installation manual, which can be used to correctly locate the holes for the anchoring bolts.

Combined Ethernet and RS-485 cable pinout for CT clamp connection In installations without RS-485 peripherals (CT clamps or energy meter) and with Ethernet connectivity, a standard Ethernet patch cable can be used to connect the charger and a router. For installations with 485 communication, the wiring connects to the charger via the same RJ- 45 port on the device by means of 4 unoccupied connections (2 twisted pairs) on the connector.
3.1. charger wiring scheme The power and signal conductors can be connected to the device after the charger body has been mounted to the wall and the cable glands have been installed. The conductors are pulled through the gland with enough slack to make the connections without strain. The charger uses lever terminal blocks for all connections except for the output PE terminal for tethered models, which requires a round cable terminal lug.

3.2. Installation: RS-485 peripherals (CT clamp/E-meter) The charger series 3SLC/3TLC support peripheral devices on an RS-485 bus (wired twisted pair connection extending up to 30m). Currently supported devices are CT clamps and Eastron MID meters ("Modbus V2" series, #230 for single-phase and #630 for three-phase). The charger supports one device on the RS-485 bus per unit.
Installation: Commissioning 3.3. Only commission the charger after all electrical and mechanical prerequisites have been fulfilled. Before switching on the power to the charger circuit, ensure that all electrical connections have been made securely and that no conductors remain exposed or touching. Ensure that the two sections of the device have been firmly secured with the mounting bolts.
3.3.2. Accessing the web client (web UI) and configuration The charger 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.

Further configuration: All settings after the "Network Configuration" tab in the web UI require an administrator password to be accessed and set. The "admin" password can be found on the factory NFC card provided with the charger. The devices comes preconfigured with default settings and parameters, some of which may have to be modified based on user requirements and installation specifics.

3.4. Installation: Troubleshooting 3.4.1. Verifying charger functionality: At power on, the charger has default settings and configuration, which allow it to work as a basic 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. The web client main page can be used to verify that the charger is properly measuring electrical values and is online and connected to an OCPP backend.
3.4.3. Hardware reset The configurator may determine that a factory reset of the device is necessary. A factory reset returns the device to its original software at the point of manufacture. Any firmware updates are not rolled back. The hardware reset button is located in a recessed hole between the SIM card cradle and the RJ-45 connector as indicated in the diagram below.
4. Maintenance, decommissioning, and disposal The charger 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 installers and manufacturer technicians. The charger should be regularly cleaned with a dry or damp cloth by wiping the surfaces.

Temperature Current Limit Thresholds The charger monitors its internal temperature at two locations. 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 set-point (79°C), the charger will stop the session and enter a “Fault”...

VendorID1 : EVSE Limits EVSE Limits are generated by the charger to define the maximum permissible charging current. The device will offer charging current based on the lowest-value limit. 3-phase models have global current limits (i.e., the currents offered on the three phases are always identical).
