Page 23: Current Transformer
Current transformer Current transformer is a device used to optimise the charge. Analysing the total current consumption in residential facilities, it manages the remaining current for the Charge Point, avoiding any tripping on the Main Circuit. Note that this device is only available in Single-Phase Charge Points. The device is placed downstream of the main power switch and upstream of the main loads and is connected to the J602 terminal of the lowest PCB.
Page 24: I) Optional External Meter
BOR1 terminal of the upper PCB as shown in the following diagram: MODBUS RS485 BOR1 Note: It is recommended to use 2 x 0.22 mm YCY cables. Info For more information about its configuration, please refer to sections 6b and 7b - Power Management. CIRCONTROL — eHome 5 — Installation Manual...
Page 25: J) Closing
Closing Screw the 6 bolts from the front cover in order to close the Charge Point. Screws are securely tightened at 1 Nm. Warnings Be aware of the cables between the cover and the base while closing the Charge Point. Put the frame, from the top to the bottom of the box, ensuring it does click and screw the bold on the bottom.

CIRCONTROL — eHome 5 — Installation Manual...
Page 35: B) Configuration
Configuration Power Management This section is the same as the corresponding one of the installation wizard. It shows the configuration related to the power management previously done. It also allows for remote power management through an OCPP connection to an OCPP Central System with Smart Charging.
Page 36 There is also the option to disable the current limit by pressing the ‘No charge’ button. To be able to use the scheduler with the APP, the option here must be enabled. Please remember to save your changes before switching at another option. CIRCONTROL — eHome 5 — Installation Manual...
Page 37 If solar integration has been configured, when adding new time slots, a solar panel symbol will appear instead of the ‘No charge’ button. If this button is pressed, only the solar surplus will be used, meaning that there will be no current limit (0 A).
