The Veefil-PK is an electric vehicle ultra-fast charger designed for rapid charging of electric vehicles. This installation manual provides comprehensive instructions for the proper setup, handling, and commissioning of the unit, ensuring safe and efficient operation.
The primary function of the Veefil-PK is to deliver high-power direct current (DC) to electric vehicles, enabling ultra-fast charging. It is designed to be a permanent installation, fixed to the ground, and connected to a robust electrical supply system. The charger facilitates the transfer of electrical energy from the grid to the vehicle's battery, significantly reducing charging times compared to standard chargers. The unit incorporates advanced electronics to manage power delivery, communicate with the vehicle's battery management system, and ensure a safe charging process. Its robust design and IP65 weather rating ensure reliable operation in various outdoor environments.
The Veefil-PK is engineered for user convenience and efficient operation. It features a user interface, likely a screen, for interaction during the charging process. The design includes a cable management system, allowing for the organized and accessible storage of the charging cable. The charger is equipped with a single charging cable, which extends up to 4300mm, providing ample reach for various vehicle parking configurations.
For optimal performance and safety, the charger requires specific site configurations. A flat and level foundation with appropriate density is crucial for stability. The unit is fixed to the ground using four M16 fasteners, ensuring a secure installation. Communication capabilities are integrated, including 4G network support and an Ethernet port, allowing for remote monitoring, diagnostics, and software updates. The Ethernet port is conveniently located on the front of the enclosure box, accessible by twisting to disengage a base cap. This allows for easy connection of an Ethernet cable, with the base cap designed to be securely refitted for IP65 protection.
The charger also incorporates parking sensors, with four available for use: three on the rear lower panel and one on the front upper panel. These sensors likely assist in vehicle positioning for optimal charging access. The installation process involves connecting the selected parking sensor by unclipping its blue plug from the front metal panel and plugging it into the chosen sensor. The plugs are designed to screw together, ensuring an IP65 seal.
The Veefil-PK is designed with maintenance in mind, emphasizing accessibility and safety for qualified personnel. The unit's internal components are protected by an IP65-rated electronics enclosure, safeguarding against dust and water ingress. However, for installation and maintenance, the enclosure must be opened, and it is recommended to do so in dry weather or under cover to prevent moisture or debris from entering.
Access to the internal wiring and components is achieved by removing the lower plastic panels and the enclosure access cover. The lower plastic panels are secured by M8 security screws, which can be removed using a 5mm pin hex allen key. The enclosure access cover is fastened with screws that require a 2.5mm allen key. This cover has an attached gasket, which must be carefully stored to avoid damage or debris accumulation, as it is critical for maintaining the IP65 rating.
Wiring and commissioning are strictly to be performed by qualified electrical personnel. The wiring diagram is conveniently located on the inside of the service hatch, providing essential guidance. The tightening torque for wiring terminals is specified at 12.0 Nm, and for the service hatch, it is 2.0 Nm. These precise torque settings are crucial for ensuring secure electrical connections and maintaining the integrity of the enclosure. A torque wrench with a 12Nm setting is a required tool for installation.
During wiring, M10 lugs (not supplied) are attached to the individual power cabling and then connected to the busbars. M10 fasteners on the busbars must be removed prior to wiring and then re-secured. Critical steps include cleaning the surface areas of mating surfaces with an abrasive pad and using jointing compound between them to ensure optimal electrical contact. After tightening, a torque mark must be applied to the stud and nut, serving as a visual indicator of proper fastening.
The grounding yellow/green wire is fixed to an M8 grounding stud on the inside channel, ensuring proper earthing of the unit. Cable glands (4x M32 and 1x M25) are supplied and must be correctly fitted into the field wiring input holes. It is imperative to ensure that the power cabling is correctly seated in the cable gland and tightened to prevent water or debris ingress. If there is any doubt, an appropriate outdoor-rated sealant should be used. After tightening, the cable should be pulled to confirm it does not slip, verifying a secure fit.
The installation process also involves removing shipping bolts and lifting straps. The unit is transported on a shipping baseplate, and once upright, all wrapping is removed. The front and rear lower panels are reattached during the closing checklist, sliding them over fixing brackets and securing them with nylon washers and security screws using a 5mm Pin Hex tool. Proper alignment of these panels is checked, and adjustments can be made by loosening and re-tightening the security screws.
The manual emphasizes the importance of observing all pertinent national, regional, and local safety laws and regulations throughout the installation and commissioning process. Regular checks of the gasket on the enclosure access cover are essential to prevent damage or soiling, which could compromise the IP65 rating. The Veefil-PK is designed for longevity and reliability, with maintenance procedures focused on ensuring its continued safe and efficient operation.
