SAFETY INSTRUCTION This document contains important instructions and warnings that must be followed when installing and maintaining the Ocular IQ Home Solar. WARNINGS Installation and maintenance of the charger should only be conducted by a qualified and licensed electrician. Make sure that materials used, and installation procedures follow local building codes and safety standards, including AS/NZS 3000:2018.
NOTES BEFORE INSTALLATION The charger should be protected by an external Residual Current Device (RCD) to be installed in the upstream circuit which complies with the following: • Type-A Rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA • Required as per Appendix P, AS/NZS 3000:2018 Australian and New Zealand Standards for EV charging stations.
BOX CONTENTS Ferrule crimps x 4 Ferrule crimps x 3 EV Charger M5x40 screws x 3 Expansion screws x 3 Opening tool Template Entry Hole Caps Please note: The provided CT clamp cable is 20 metres long. Charger must be placed within 20m of the incoming supply.
WALL MOUNTING AND WIRING 1. Use the enclosed template to mark and drill the mounting holes. Only three screws are required during wall mounting. Using the top screw hole is not required. 2. Using opening tool (included in the box) remove the black front cover, then unscrew the gray panel.

4. Remove rubber plugs, fix the device on the wall with screws, and then replace rubber plugs. It is critical that the rubber plugs get replaced otherwise the IP rating of the charger will be impacted. 5. Connect the cables into the terminal block.
CT CLAMP INSTALLATION CT Clamps are used to measure the household load and the amount of solar export. These values are critical to the proper operation of the solar modes and the in-built load control system, which prevents tripping of the household’s main board. CT Clamps need to be installed on the grid side of the main switch board.
SINGLE PHASE INSTALLATION The arrow on the CT must be pointing towards the Main Board and away from the grid supply THREE PHASE INSTALLATION The arrow on the CT must be pointing towards the Main Board and away from the grid supply...
CT CLAMP INSTALLATION AND WIRING Run the CT clamp wires through the grey gland/hole located at the bottom of the charger. Wire into terminal block as indicated in the picture below. For Single Phase, use the first two ports on the right. N = Black, P = Red For Three Phase, the order is reversed as per the picture below.
INTERNET CONNECTION AND CHARGER INSTALLATION The charger must be successfully connected to the internet during the installation process to ensure proper operation. There are three options for internet connectivity: • Ethernet (recommended for maximum internet stability) • WiFi • 4G (4G capable units only) Connect the ethernet cable to the WAN port behind the front panel.
SET UP / PROCESS 1. Pre-energising • Ensure connections are secure and power on the system. • Verify all cabling is wired properly. • Verify that the CT clamps are installed in the correct direction. • Take a photo of the CT clamp installation (clearly showing the arrows on CT clamp) on the main board as a record.

CHARGER CONFIGURATION - ACCESSING THE ADVANCED SETTINGS PAGE Do not change settings other than outlined below as this may affect operations. 1. Log in to the web-interface of the charger. (Refer to page 15). 2. Click on the Balance tab, and then click on “Advanced Settings”. 3.
CHARGER CONFIGURATION - CT CLAMP SET UP 1. Scroll down the page until you can see the settings boxes for HUB1 & Grid Current. 2. Ensure HUB1 is toggled on (Blue indicator). 3. Configure HUB1 settings as in the pictures below. Note the differences between the Single Phase and Three Phase setups.
CHARGER CONFIGURATION - GRID SUPPLY SET UP 1. Set the Incoming Supply Capacity and Inrush Current. Incoming Supply Capacity: This is the maximum current that the main MCB can handle. Inrush Current: This is a safe margin reserved to prevent the circuit from overloading.
Page 21
Example A 80Amp Main Switch Board should have: Incoming Supply Capacity - 800 Inrush Current - 80 (10% safety is recommended as a minimum. This can be higher if required. The charger will stop charging completely if it sees load above 720 which is 72 Amps.) *Please note, the scale is 0.1A i.e.
CONNECT CHARGER TO OCULAR SMART HOME APP 1. Search “Ocular Smart Home” or ‘‘Ocular Charging” on the google play or apple app store. 2. Download, install, and launch the app. 3. Follow the prompts to sign up for an account and login.
It usually takes less than 10 seconds. • If the status indicator doesn’t return to blue, turn OFF the charger and then back ON. • If the situation persists, contact Ocular Charging for Technical Support. • There is a critical error. Status indicator is solid red •...
APPENDIX B – CHARGER ERROR CODES This page shows the error codes’ meaning, if any of the charger presents any error listed below, please contact your installer for technical support. LED Diagram LED Status Definition Red light is solid CP / CC fault Overcurrent / Overvoltage / Alternately flashing red and green Undervoltage...
Prior to setting up the CT clamps, please ensure that you have the correct CT and CT Ratio setup. Only use CT clamps provided by Ocular - The wrong CT clamps will cause a misreading and void warranty. If you must use your own CT, please speak to Ocular and confirm suitability.
If the charger does not automatically start charging while testing, then it may not be set to charge on plug. Follow the steps below to change it. The user will be able to change this setting in the Ocular App later. • Follow the instructions on Page 15 to log into the charger web-interface.
