I-ON EVOLUTION • These charging stations have a front access door with key opening to facilitate installation and connections. Open the door using the key supplied. The safety key can only be removed when the door is fully closed. • Couple the fixing base (already fixed to the ground) with the charging station. •...
5�2�3 Wiring modes: • I-ON EVOhas been fitted with oversized main power connectors, that can handle cables upto 70mm in diameter. This is done to ease the series connection of 2 or multiple products, avoiding to route big cables thorough all the stations. Clearly it’s important to keep always in mind the maximum power consumption of the system and route adequate cables.

I-ON EVOLUTION 5.5 Phase rotation Phase rotation is a key practice for balancing the electrical load in multiple charging station installations. This process distributes the load between the three phases of the three-phase system to optimise energy efficiency and ensure the stability of the electrical system Procedure: 1) Phase identification: in a three-phase system, identify the three phases as L1, L2...
6. Multi CP system installation 6.1 Introduction With the installation of a DLM MultiCP system, up to 30 charging points can be managed, maximizing the use of available energy, avoiding overloads and allowing simultaneous charging of several vehicles. It is based on a Server/Client logic. The server station manages the Client stations.
I-ON EVOLUTION 6.3 Connection between charging points To allow for greater flexibility and ease of installation, the feature is designed to work with 2 different system topologies, which can be selected by the customer according to their needs. NB: All solutions must use at least one Ethernet cable at least CAT5 with a maximum lenght of 100m.
Page 43
This should result in an plant structure similar to the one shown in the figure: Daisy chain configuration The daisy chain link between 2 systems in the same ION is already done internally during product manufacturing. NB: Please remember that for EACH I-ON EVO there are TWO charging systems.
I-ON EVOLUTION 6.5 Topology 2: star connection Description of the system This topology is designed to achieve a “centralized” link between the various stations. In this case, the installer selects one of the available ethernet port in one of the 2 sides of I-ON EVO and connects it to an Ethernet switch. Clearly, the availability of switch ports will need to be appropriate for the number of stations to be connected When the installation is complete, the system should have a pattern similar to this: Star configuration...
Station with information about the system’s consumption, is essential for the use of the load balancing functionality. Currently I-ON EVO MultiCP allows a specific kit of sensors to be fitted. Gewiss CT sensors connected to the server station → GWJ8037: for SINGLE-PHASE systems → GWJ8038 for THREE-PHASE systems...
I-ON EVOLUTION Gewiss CT sensors This solution is compatible with installations with a current rating of less than 100A. The devices should be connected directly to the designated SERVER station, following the instructions in the KIT. The positioning of the same inside the system is crucial.
7. Functional Specification I-ON EVO offers several versions, with slight differences in the internal components, depending on your needs. 7.1 Basic functions I-ON EVO allows you to choose between basically 2 main operating modes: • STANDARD: the station will charge the vehicle to a fixed default maximum power, in this case no load balancing dynamics are required.
I-ON EVOLUTION 7.3 Language button The charging point has a language button on each side. You can press it and select the right language before to start a charge. It’s important to notice that the user can’t change the language during the charge sessions process because this function is disabled.
8.1 Autostart NOTE: The autostart process method must be set on the web portal available on the charger In this case the user doesn’t need of any kind of identification. This image will be displayed on the I-ON EVO screen: You have to plug the EV charging cable into the socket (or the tethered cable into your EV) and the charger will automatically...
I-ON EVOLUTION 8.2 RFID reader I-ON EVO is equipped with an internal RFID reader and the identification of the user can be carried out using an RFID tag. Usable RFID tags must comply with IEC 14443 A/B. I-ON EVO enables RFID tag registration and management in 2 modes: •...
Page 51
If the card is accepted, you will see the following blinking screen and subsequently the charger will unlock the socket and wait for plug: You must plug the EV charging cable into the socket and the charger will automatically lock it and start the charge. For the versions with tethered cable only plug the cable on your EV port.
I-ON EVOLUTION If you want to stop charging or when the charge is finished you have pass your RFID card to unlock the socket. If recognized the socket will be unlocked and you will be prompt to unplug the cable: Once the cable is disconnected I-ON EVO will display a charge recap: 9.
Page 53
This can be done in 2 ways: • By connecting to the Wi-Fi hotspot of the individual station, identifying the SSID and password on the label provided in the box. To help identification, there is also the reference to the side’s serial number. •...
I-ON EVOLUTION 9.2 Basic structure of the On-board Portal Once you have successfully logged in, the On-board Portal will be divided into 4 macro sections: → Configuration → Logs → Charging log → RFID Below is an overview of the individual sections. 9.3 Configuration section •...
9.4 Logs section In this section, installers and service personnel will have easy access to the logs of the charging station. At the top right you can select the log file to read and refresh manually to view the new logged lines. When the portal is opened, the platform communication management log is shown, which is often the most useful for initial debugging.
Page 56
I-ON EVOLUTION In selecting the files to be read, you can see that some will have a suffix with a number ( .1, .2 …). This is normal, as the station has a 5-day log retention capability. The prefix means how many days ago the log refers to. For instance, an: iot Manager Out 5 should be opened if you want to read the logs from 5 days before.

I-ON EVOLUTION 10. I-ON EVO Configuration as a single station I-ON EVO is designed to be installed in systems with multiple interconnected stations. However if a load management is not necessary, you can easily setup I-ON EVO as a standalone station. 10.1 Step 1: Operating parameter setting Once the station has been started, proceed and access the On-board Portal to set, as required:...
10.2 Step 2: Internet Network Setup I-ON EVO allows connection to the Internet choosing between Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection. 10�2�1 Ethernet connection setup If your plan is to connect I-ON EVO to an ethernet network, the process is straightforward. As the two sides of the charger are already connected by factory with an ethernet cable, you can easily connect both sides by linking your network cable to one of the two ( 1 for each side) free ethernet ports on the side motherboard.
Page 60
I-ON EVOLUTION Save the parameters by selecting the red button in upper right corner. The side will reboot 3. Reconnect to the same side on-board portal and find the “network” section and click on “configure Wi-Fi network”. A window opens asking for network parameters (SSID, Password, and Security).
Wi-Fi signal coverage. A strong signal is needed for best performance, especially when there are a large number of Client stations WARNING: Gewiss suggests the use of a Wi-Fi network with an appropriate level of security, such as WPA-WPA2-Personal, and avoid public networks with no level of security.
I-ON EVOLUTION 11.2 First steps After the installation and connection of the stations, the connection of the external meter, you first need to proceed with the configuration of the station that will assume the role of Server. INFO: For more effective configuration, we recommend that you always start with the Server station configuration.

WARNING: Incorrect setting of this parameter could lead to malfunctions or overloads of the system. • Phase rotation → Please select the phase order you wired the charger, as indicated at paragraph 5.5 • functional mode: → select “Dynamic” to enable the DLM algorithm •...
I-ON EVOLUTION 11�2�5 Local Server/Client DHCP setting I-ON EVO has a feature that allow one station to connect to Wi-Fi, and share the connection to the other side, without any additional configuration. This is possible because the “Server” side will act as a local DHCP server for the other side. To set it up, please follow the steps at chapter 10.2.2 to enable the functionality The steps at chapter 10.2.2 are intended to enable connection to both sides of a single I-ON EVO.
