• Take the necessary precautions against ESD before touching electronic components. 2.2. Moving and storage precautions Obey the following guidelines when moving and storing BusinessLine: • Disconnect input power before removing the charging station for storage or relocation. •...
Charging cable socket Connect the connector of a type 2 charging cable to the socket. LED ring The LED ring indicates the status of the charging station. Configuration BusinessLine charging stations come in the following configurations: • Single socket, communications hub.
3. Product features • Single socket, satellite. • Double socket, one communications hub and one satellite. • Double socket, two satellites. One hub station can be connected to a maximum of 19 satellite stations. Cluster load balancing can be established over all stations in the hub-satellite installation. This optimizes power usage and lets more vehicles charge simultaneously should power limitations exist.

EVBox BusinessLine charging stations can be mounted in the following ways: Pole mounting in the ground or on the floo BusinessLine charging stations, both single and double socket versions, can be mounted on an EVBox Combipole set into the ground, or on a EVBox Combipole fixed to the floor (see...
Page 21
Mount the Combipole onto a vertical surface so the bottom of the charging station is between 70 cm and 110 cm above ground level. Wall mounting A single charging station can be mounted on an EVBox Wall Spacer fixed directly to a wall (see Optional components on page 13).
4. Installation instructions • The wall must be able to hold a load of at least 70 kg. • Install the wall spacer at a height of between 900 and 1200 mm above ground level. 4.1.4. Power supply requirements DANGER: Connecting the charging station to the power supply other than as specified in this section can result in incompatibility of the installation as well as the risk of electric shock, and thus cause damage to the charging station, and injury or death.

4. Installation instructions Option 2: 230 V 1-phase with neutral For 1-phase use of a Wye-connected secondary, only a single phase (L1 or L2 or L3) and neutral on the grid must be connected to the L1 and N on the charging station. This phase voltage must measure 230 V between line and neutral.
4. Installation instructions Management Platform (CMP). A hub-satellite installation has the following advantages: • All stations in the hub-satellite installation are managed by one hub station. • Cluster load balancing across all stations in the installation allows the available power from a single power source to be shared across all stations, depending on the charge demand of each EV that is charging.
When the installation area is prepared and the charging station mounting systems are installed, you can then install and connect the charging station. Compatibility The EVBox BusinessLine (3rd generation) is not compatible with other generations of the BusinessLine charging station. Each hub-satellite installation must consist of the same generation of BusinessLine charging stations.
• The Wall Spacer is used to mount the station on a wall. Install the EVBox Adapter Kit on the Combipole, or install the Wall Spacer on the wall (see Optional components on page 13). Adjust three bolts and washers on the Adapter Kit or Wall Spacer to the correct distance to engage with the backplate of the station.
4. Installation instructions Power per connector Input type Power cable connection 7.4 kW 2x 1-phase 230 V, 32 A Terminal block 22 kW 2x 3-phase 400 V, 32 A Terminal block 1. Optional: If more access to connect the power wires is required, remove one PH2 screw and move the controller and bracket to gain access to the terminal blocks.
4. Installation instructions from a single power cabinet. If clusters of stations are powered from different power cabinets then each cluster must be a separate hub-satellite installation. • A star-shaped or T-shaped network will not work because reflections can occur in the network cable.
1. Activate the station online on the CMP website or by using the CMP-specific app. Contact the Charging Point Operator (CPO) for details about the charging station activation procedure. For stations connected to the EVBox CMP, the following data is required: •...

4. Installation instructions 3. Operate the charging station using an electric vehicle (EV) or the EVBox test box with fixed cable to confirm correct operation. For a hub-satellite installation, operate each connector in the installation to confirm correct operation. The charging station is connected to a CMP and is ready to use.
5. Operation instructions 5. Operation instructions 5.1. Start and stop a charging session 1. Start charging • Fully unwind the charging cable, then plug the charging cable into your vehicle and the charging station. • If you use a charge card or key fob, hold it in front of the reader on the charging station to start charging.* 2.
