5.) Start Up 5.1) Verification and Inspection The installation location of charging device shall not be less than 20 feet away from commercial garage (repair facility) or outdoor vehicle fuel distribution device Check if the bolts of the AC and protective ground cables of the V2G Charger & V2X off- grid Box are correctly tightened to the specified torque ...
The Human Machine Interface (HMI) will give instructions and signal different stages. These sequences are shown in this chapter. 6.1) Output Connector The ICE-44 V2X is prepared to charge electric vehicles according to the charging systems mentioned. 6.1.1) CCS1 Connector...
6.2) Operation Instructions 6.2.1) Setting the Discharge Cutoff Conditions Contact InCharge Energy to set proper discharge cutoff settings. The value of "V2X SOC Lower Limit" would be changed to a percentage, such as 30%. The V2X charger will stop discharging when the vehicle battery SOC reaches 30% in this example.
6.2.2) Off-Grid Standby Time Setting When the power grid suddenly loses power, the V2X charger automatically enters the off- grid interface and starts the standby countdown. The default time is 3 minutes. If there are no dischargeable vehicles connected or the user does not start off grid discharge after 3 minutes, the control system will automatically power off...
6.2.3) Create Stand-Alone Inverter Supply Earthing System You can set "Is P-N off grid Pull in" to “Yes” according to local regulations. When the system is in off grid discharge mode, it will automatically short circuit the neutral wire to the PE wire to ensure electrical safety.
6.3) Ethernet and OCPP Setting Here are basic descriptions of these parameters: Time zone: this determines the local time display on LCD. Please change it according to local time zone (Note this parameter only takes effect via LCD, that means even if charger is connected to OCPP server, this parameter is not affected).
Notes: The protocol upper controller supports OCPP-J 1.6 and 2.0.1. Please refer to the OCPP official documents if you have any questions about the above 2 parameters or the protocol itself. 6.3.1) Connection Check If the above settings are done properly, you should see the ‘ ’...
