Planning the installation

Prior to the installation, it is recommended that you consider future charging needs, so that you can easily expand accordingly in the future.
If several Charging Robots are connected to the same circuit, the total current is dynamically distributed between them. The connected Charging Robots communicate wirelessly between each other, ensuring the circuit is not overloaded.  The maximum charging current is set during configuration.
For an optimal result

  • We always recommend a 3 phase installation if possible, to make it future-proof.
  • If possible, use the largest approved cable crosssection (see Technical specifications). Special notes
  • Several backplates can be connected in parallel, as each Charging Robot has its own protective device.
  • If the charging infrastructure includes more than one Charging Robot, the backplate that is configured first becomes the master of its circuit.
  • If more than 2 units are installed, the master unit should be located in the middle of the installation (if possible) for an optimal Easee Link communication.
  • Site Key: During installation, a Site Key must be used to assign the Charging Robots to the correct location in the Easee Cloud. A Site Key will automatically be generated when creating a new charging site using the Easee Installer  App or it can be obtained by creating a new charging site at easee.cloud.

Your house, power grid and EV
The Charging Robot automatically adapts to the power grid, the electric car and the capacity of the electrical installation. In the table you can see what charging effect you can expect from your installation and situation. The table is only  meant as a guide.

CAUTION
The type of installation as well as cable cross-sections must be determined by a qualified electrician in accordance with valid local, regional and national regulations for electrical systems.

Installation instructions

WARNING
Always work with the power off and in accordance with local regulations. Use extreme caution and follow instructions carefully.
We recommend that you watch the installation videos available on our website:

Opening Easee Ready

  1. Screw the locking screw at the bottom of the Easee Ready.
  2. Insert the two ends of the blind cover tool into the two openings at the bottom of the cover.
  3. Pull the tool until the blind cover comes loose and remove the cover.
  4. Lift the cover from the bottom and upwards.

Backplate Mounting

  1. Fix the backplate to a wall or structure with sufficient load-bearing capacity using the 4 wall screws provided in the mounting kit. Use suitable wall plugs for mounting and observe the local regulations for recommended installation  height.

CAUTION
The installation wall must cover the entire back of the product. If this is not possible to achieve, it is possible to use the Easee Mount.
NOTE
If you are going to install multiple backplates, now would be a good time to mount them as well.easee Charge Ready EV Docking Station -
Mounting

Backplate Preparing

  1. Shorten the sealing plug to fit the cable. The hole should be slightly smaller than the cable to ensure a good seal.
  2. Insert the cable through one of the 4 cable entries and secure it to the backplate with the strain relief provided.
  3. Close all cable entries that are not in use with the supplied blind plugs.

easee Charge Ready EV Docking Station - Preparing

Backplate Wiring

  1. Strip each wire, exposing 12 mm of copper on each. If the cable has flexible conductors, then you must use ferrules on stranded wires to make the connection.
    Use the correct tools to press them.

  2. Tighten the screw terminals with a torque of 5 Nm.

NOTES

  • When connecting multiple backplates in parallel, each screw terminal serves as a coupling point for adjacent backplates. All backplates must be connected with the same phase sequence. External junction boxes or flat cables can be  used if it is more convenient.
  • It’s recommended to follow the existing colour codes used in the installation. Depending on national standards, the colours of the cables can vary from the illustrations. The illustrations in this manual follow the IEC 60446 standard.
  • Before turning on the power, make sure the wires are properly connected and tightened.

Backplate Configuring

  1. Scan the QR code to download the Easee Installer App and create your free account.
    NOTE
    Your phone needs to support either NFC or Bluetooth.

  2. Select one of the two site setups in the Installer App:
    Create new site: If this is a completely new charging site, select “Create new site”. Enter the installation details, follow the on-screen instructions and return to this guide afterwards.

Update existing site: If this site already has one or more Charging Robots installed or if it has been created by an operator (Easee Charge), select “Update existing site” and search for the site address. On “Site overview”, select the  circuit that you want the backplate to be part of and select “Add another backplate”. Follow the on-screen instructions and return to this guide afterwards.
NOTE
If the charging circuits include more than one Charging Robot, the backplate that is configured first becomes the master unit of the charging infrastructure. To achieve the best communication flow, the centre backplate should be configured first.

Blind cover Closing

  1. Hang the blind cover at the top of the backplate and let it fall into place.
  2. Press the bottom of the blind cover until you hear a click.
  3. Screw in the blind cover screw at the bottom of the charger to secure the blind cover.
    NOTE! The locking screw is necessary to secure the cover and protect the backplate from exposure.

Your Easee Ready is now installed!
