Configuring the Wallbox eMH3
The Wallbox eMH3 Controller and Extender variants are delivered preconfigured for operation within a group installa-
tion. However, they can also be used as a single charging station, or configured for stand-alone operation.
Stand-alone operation of a Controller wallbox
The Controller wallbox can be operated as a single charging station in its factory preconfigured state.
In order to use authorisation of the charging function via RFID, however, you must connect the Controller wallbox to
and operate it with a suitable backend: The RFID cards used for registration are supplied by the backend provider.
ABL recommends the backend product by the provider reev, who is offering solutions that are specifically tailored to
the Wallbox eMH3. For further information, please visit:

NOTE
Compatibility with backend providers
Your Wallbox eMH3 is compatible with various backends for managing the charging infrastructure.
To check the compatibility of your Wallbox eMH3, please contact the desired backend provider.
Stand-alone operation of an Extender wallbox
In principle, Extender wallboxes are factory preconfigured to operate in combination with a Controller wallbox.
However, with the ABL Configuration Software, you can set up an Extender wallbox for stand-alone operation
without Controller or backend. You can download the ABL Configuration Software free of charge in the Service >
All downloads > Software > Configuration Software section at www.ablmobility.de.
You will need the following separately available accessories to configure the wallbox for stand-alone operation:
Windows PC (laptop recommended) with one free USB port
Configuration Cable CONFCAB (available from ABL as an optional accessory, see "Accessories" on page11).
Section "Data cable connection with the computer" on page32 describes how to connect the wallbox to the com-
puter using CONFCAB: To configure the wallbox via the ABL Configuration Software, please read the ABL Config-
uration Software manual carefully, which is contained in the installation folder of the software and also embedded
in the application.
NOTE
Language selection for the ABL Configuration Software manual
Please note that the manual for the ABL Configuration Software is only available in German and English.
Operation and address allocation in a group installation
In group installations, up to 16 charge points can be set up, managed and invoiced centrally via a Controller wallbox.
In this setting, the Controller wallbox itself represents one or two of the charge points, while the remaining charge
points can be freely distributed among any combination of Single and Twin Extender wallboxes.
In order for communication to function properly across the group, each wallbox must be uniquely identified by the fol-
lowing bus addresses:
Bus Possible address range
Charge controller 1 to 16
LGW 100 to 116 Only for calibration law compliant wallboxes
1 to 16
Energy meter
RFID 1 to 16
