Usage Features
The EVCD2 charger offers several features to enhance its usability and safety:
Installation Requirements:
- Requires disconnection of electrical power before installation.
- Installation must be performed by a qualified technician in accordance with the user manual and local safety regulations.
- Local building and electrical codes must be reviewed.
- Appropriate protection (Type B, C, or D breaker with the correct rating) should be installed in the upstream AC distribution box.
- Not recommended for installation in coastal environments with high humidity or high dust.
Wiring the Circuit:
- The device must be properly grounded to prevent electric shock.
- Detailed instructions are provided for connecting to single-phase and three-phase grids, including L1, L2, L3, N, and PE leads.
Load Balancing (CT-BOX Optional):
- An optional CT-BOX can be connected to the charger to enable load balancing.
- The CT-BOX signal wire connects to the charger's load balancing socket and to the CT-BOX terminals (RS485 A+, RS485 B-, GND).
- Circuit diagrams are provided for both single-phase and three-phase CT-BOX connections with an electricity meter and distribution box.
- The maximum power for load balancing can be set via a mobile application (S-Charge) to prevent frequent tripping of the main circuit breaker. It is recommended to set this value slightly lower than the maximum power supply of the main circuit breaker.
Operating Steps:
- Plug and Charge:
- Standby Mode: After power-on, all lights (blue for READY, green for CHARGE, red for FAULT) illuminate briefly, then the blue light (READY) remains constantly on.
- Plug the Charging Connector: Open the socket cover, plug the charging connector into the IEC 62196-2 socket, and then plug the other end into the electric vehicle.
- Charging: The green light (CHARGE) flashes automatically, indicating charging is in progress.
- Charging Finished: The green light (CHARGE) remains constantly on when charging is complete.
- Disconnect: Remove the car connector first, then the charger connector.
- RFID (Optional):
- Standby Mode: Similar to Plug and Charge, the blue light (READY) is constantly on.
- Ready to Charge: Plug the charging connector into the vehicle's charging inlet. When the green light (CHARGE) is constantly on, swipe the RFID card.
- Swipe the RFID Card: Swipe the RFID card within 120 seconds of plugging in the connector to initiate charging. If the time limit is exceeded, swipe again.
- Charging: The green light (CHARGE) flashes automatically. If the red light (FAULT) is on, re-plug the connector. If the fault persists, refer to the "Error and Warning Messages" section.
- Charging Finished: When charging is finished or the RFID card is swiped again, the green light (CHARGE) remains constantly on. Press the button on the connector and pull it out.
