3.3. Installation: Commissioning
Only commission the charger after all electrical and mechanical prerequisites have been
fulfilled.
Before switching on the power to the charger circuit, ensure that all electrical connections have
been made securely and that no conductors remain exposed or touching. Ensure that the two
sections of the device have been firmly secured with the mounting bolts.
On power-up, the charger will provide visual and sound indication. It will beep briefly and the
RGB light ring will light in yellow. The device can then be configured via the web client. Until it
is configured, it will remain in the same state, indicated by a constant yellow light. If the product
has been preconfigured to connect to a backend server and has an accessible internet network,
it will connect and indicate an available status by a constant green light.
3.3.1. Connecting the charger to an OCPP backend
To function as a smart charger, the charger must connect to the Internet and access an OCPP-
based backend. It can achieve this via three physical interfaces: cellular (GSM), WiFi, or
Ethernet. For uninterrupted operation, the device is able to switch between interfaces,
automatically falling back to a functional connection. Internet connectivity is configured in the
charger's web client or the installer's mobile app as further described in the commissioning
steps. The following information must be considered:
• Cellular/GSM: to enable as either a main or fallback interface, a SIM card (mini-SIM)
must be installed! The SIM card cradle is located under the service cover as indicated in
the electrical installation graphics. If the SIM card does not have the APN pre-loaded, it
must be manually entered via the web client as explained below.
• WiFi: can only be enabled as a main interface. In the web client or installer's app, the
relevant SSID and PSK (password) of the access point to be used, are entered.
• Ethernet: can only be enabled as a main interface. Requires a wired connection from a
network switch connected to the Internet to the charger's RJ-45 receptacle, located
under the service cover. Ethernet connectivity works through an integrated DHCP client,
which must obtain an IP address from the local DHCP server on the connected LAN
network.
Note: To ensure that the charger is correctly configured and connected to the internet, please
check the “Network status” in “Device Status and Control” page from the charger’s web client!
