Metron PC03X Portable EV Charging Stations User Manual

Metron PC03X Portable EV Charging Stations

INTRODUCTION

• METRON PC03X, PC04X and PC05X are extremely compact & light weight “adaptor style” portable EV charging stations designed to charge electric vehicles from any household outlet (e.g. Schuko) or industrial socket (e.g. 1 or 3-phase CEE sockets) using standard Type2-Type2 or Type2-Type1 charging cables that are used for charging EVs from regular wall mounted or standalone charging stations.
• PC03/4/5X portable EV charging stations actually convert any power outlet/socket to EV charging station with maximum user safety features. This truly unique design saves space and weight as PC03/4/5X replace regular cable type portable chargers. METRON portable EV charging stations also offer the possibility to set desired charging current/power by simply pressing a button.

GET STARTED

First plug the portable EV charging station in the wall outlet. Immediately signal LED starts blinking: number of blinks tells you what is the saved charging
power/speed setting (see the next page). Afterwards LED glows constantly till AC power is present indicating standby/ready status. Then insert the male side of your charging cable into portable EV charging station’s Type 2 socket and the other side of charging cable into vehicle’s charging socket. When everything is connected LED starts blinking slowly what means the vehicle is charging. When your electric vehicle is fully charged the LED glows constantly again.

SETTING THE DESIRED CHARGING CURRENT/POWER

METRON portable EV charging stations allow users to set desired charging current/power, before being plugged in the electric vehicle charging socket socket. Procedure is simple:

• press and hold the push button: LED switches o immediately
• after 5 seconds LED starts blinking slowly
• Releasing the push button after a certain number of blinks determines charging current/power as follows:
  PC03X|  |  | PC04X|  |  | PC05X|
  ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
  Number of| Charging|  | Number of| Charging|  | Number of| Charging
  LED blinks| current/power|  | LED blinks| current/power|  | LED blinks| current/power
  1| 6 A / 1,4 kW|  | 1| 6 A / 1,4 kW|  | 1| 3 x 6 A / 4,1 kW
  2| 8 A / 1,8 kW|  | 2| 8 A / 1,8 kW|  | 2| 3 x 8 A / 5,5 kW
  3| 10 A / 2,3 kW|  | 3| 10 A / 2,3 kW|  | 3| 3 x 10 A / 6,9 kW
  4| 13 A / 3,0 kW|  | 4| 13 A / 3,0 kW|  | 4| 3 x 13A / 9,0 kW
  5| 16 A / 3,7 kW*|  | 5| 16 A / 3,7 kW|  | 5| 3 x 16A / 11,0 kW
   |  |  | 6| 20 A / 4,6 kW|  |  |
   |  |  | 7| 25 A / 5,8 kW|  |  |
   |  |  | 8| 32 A / 7,4 kW|  |  |

16A available only in case wall plug contains a temperature sensor

New charging current/power setting is stored in the memory and it stays the same (even after the power supply is not present anymore) until the next setting change is performed.

STATUS NOTIFICATION BY LED BLINKS

Household 16A Schuko wall sockets must be designed for constant 16A current!

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Portable charging station models PC03X, PC04X and PC05X can have some additional designation next to the number such as PC03xyz, PC04xyz and PC05xyz, where“x” and“y” and“z” may be any alphanumeric character or blank, representing a color or wall plug type, or lower than standard charging current limit or factory version, or any possible future product differentiations, which do not have an impact on general technical specifications.

WHAT IS RCD AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

RCD is an acronym for Residual Current Device – sometimes it can be called also Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker or Safety Switch. Its purpose is to prevent you from getting a fatal electric shock if you touch live part, such as a bare copper wire under high voltage. RCDs offer a level of personal protection that ordinary
fuses/circuit-breakers cannot provide. RCD constantly monitors the electric current flowing through one or more circuits which it protects. If it detects electricity flowing down an unintended path, such as through a person who has touched a live part, the RCD will switch the circuit off very quickly, significantly reducing the risk of death or serious injury. Every portable charging station has integrated Type A 30mA AC + 6mA DC RCD what ensures maximum possible level of personal protection as it protects users from AC, pulsating DC and pure DC leakage currents.

GREEN PRODUCTION

All our products are produced in a carbon neutral way by using “Sustainable energy cycle” method. Production plant where we make charging cables and portable charging stations is the first fully sustainable production facility for EV charging cables. All energy needed for the heating and cooling of the building, production process and for transportation of goods and employees (except deliveries of heavy materials by trucks), is produced by 2 photovoltaic power plants and stored in 4 storage batteries. Almost all of the raw materials we use (cables, plugs) are produced in EU, to shorten supply routes and support local economy. Buying our products helps developing sustainable economy.
