ecotap DC60 Charging Station User Manual
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing an Ecotap® DC charger.
This manual describes the DC charger.
This manual contains important information for the proper and safe
installation and operation of the DC charger.
The charging station is designed for vehicles fitted with a mode-4 charging system in line with IEC 61851-1 (edition 2.0) using a connector jack system as per VDE-AR-E 2623-2-2 / IEC 62196-2. Together with the vehicle and system, the charging station will select the best option for charging the vehicle quickly and safely. The entire charging station complies with EU Directive 2014/35/EU relating to the harmonisation of legislation on electrical equipment within certain voltage limits (re-rating of all versions issued previously).
This manual provides insight into how to install and operate the charging station safely. This manual is drawn up to maximise the function and technical design life of the charging station.
It has been drawn up with the utmost care. However, if there are still any
uncertainties, contact your supplier before installing the charging station.
We can only guarantee the functioning of the charging station if the charging
station is connected by an authorized or certified fitter/technician.

Safety instructions
Before placing the charging station, make the location safe for bystanders.
NEVER allow children in this work area. Ensure that NO ONE unrelated to the
work enters the work area.Never be distracted while working.Maintain a healthy
posture at all times while working.Do not leave tools and components of the
charging station unattended.Ensure that tools are clean and dry.During bad
weather with rainfall ensure that the charging station, tools and components
remain dry.
| Make sure that there is no danger of anyone tripping over objects or paving
while you are digging the hole for the foundation.
---|---
| Make sure to wear good, suitable gloves for any special actions throughout
the entire installation and connection process.
| Always check any measuring
instruments you will be using to disconnect the installation from its power
supply before you use them, checking them several times to make sure they are
working properly.
MANDATORY CHECKS BEFORE INITIAL USE
| The following checks are mandatory before installing / commissioning
the charging station. NEVER use the charging station if the 1 or more checks
show that the power supply or stability of the charging station is inadequate.
---|---
| Always perform the checks below before applying voltage to the charging
station.
- All work described below is in compliance with NEN 3140.
- Check whether the wires have been connected to the terminals in the right order.
- Check whether the cores have been properly tightened, see point 19.3
- Check whether the earth connection is mounted on the connection terminal in accordance with the NEN1010/EU/35 standard.
- Check whether the cable thickness of the power cable matches the fused current rating.
- Check whether the charging station is tightly and properly secured.
- Check whether the station is sufficiently waterproof.
- Keep the immediate environment of the work area free from obstacles.
OPERATING / INSTALLATION MANUAL
Open the door
The door is opened in the following way.
Use a flat-head screwdriver to open the cover plate from the cylinder lock by
turning it half a rotation. Insert the key supplied into the right-hand lock
and turn it clockwise until the handle is released. Turn the handle to the
right until both the top and bottom of the door are free. Carry out these
steps in reverse to close and lock the door.
Mounting on the foundation
To fit the foundation, a hole must be dug of roughly L 700 mm x D 500 mm x H
450 mm. The bottom of the hole must be stable and levelled.
Place the foundation base level in the hole. The upper surface of the base
must be flush with the upper surface of the grade / paving. The foundation
must then be reinforced by adding at least two 20 kg bags of fast-setting
concrete in the corners of the foundation.
After the fast-setting concrete has cured, the charging station can be mounted
on its foundation using the nuts and bolts provided (nuts to the top). The
holes in the foundation must correspond with the holes in the charging
station. See drawing of the front of the foundation base. Take account of the
connection face of the charging station in relation to walls, hedges, etc.
Also keep in mind that there is sufficient space for the operation of the
charging station. For this we advise to keep at least 1 meter of free space
around the charging station.
Inserting cable and securing with strain relief
Secure the power cable in the foundation using the cable gland. Connect the
conductors of the cable to the existing main switch terminals (max. 15 to 22Nm
bolt m8 oder 30 to 44Nm bolt s10).
Load balancer
If you want to install the charging station in combination with a load
balancer, you need to connect it to the charging station as follows. The data
cable from the load balancer should be connected to the grey terminal (see
drawing).
MAINTENANCE
Always de-energise the charging station and read the operating instructions before handling maintenance or faults.Repair or replacement of components should only be done with the products approved by the supplier. Repairs and replacements must always be carried out by an authorised / specialist.Maintenance must always comply and be carried out in accordance with NEN3140 and NEN 50110 low voltage Euro standard.
Check the charging station for leaks. Check the connections of the main power cabling and ensure a firm connection of max. 5 Nm.Treat damage to the charging station with rust-proof paint.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
Transport the charging station (technical core) upright and prevent the paint from being damaged, as this could cause rust. The covers may be transported in various ways as long as they are protected from damage. Preferably store the charging station in a dry, non-humid space. When hoisting the charging station into position, there are 2 securing holes for lifting eyes on the top of each corner of the charging station. The lifting eyes can be removed after fitting. To ensure a safe work setting, only a certified fitter may hoist the charging station.
RESOLVING PROBLEMS
If the charging station malfunctions, immediately contact the Ecotap® helpdesk, open 24/7 (telephone number: +31 (0)411 745 020) or a certified technician who possesses the necessary measuring and en testing equipment with auto-simulation.
NOTE!
All work on and modifications to the charging station must comply with at
least NEN1010.
OPERATION AND FUNCTIONING OF THE CHARGING STATION
The charging station can be operated with the charging card or a likewise key fob.
Before applying power to the charging station, it is necessary to contact the back office provider whose telephone number is listed on the charging system so that the charging station can be activated by software. The unique charging station number is required for this purpose.
Operation
Take the plug from the holder of the charging station that is suited to your
vehicle.
Then insert it in your vehicle. If both CHAdeMO and CCS charging points are
available, only one can be used at a time. Initiate the start/stop procedure
by holding your charging card up to the scanning point. Firstly the plug is
locked onto the vehicle. The charging station then communicates with the
vehicle and the back-office system. Once all security and payment guidelines
have been checked, the maximum permissible charging current is forwarded.
After some time, it can occur that the charging station activates the cooling
systems fitted for this purpose to dissipate the excess heat via the venting
duct. The charging procedure is now activated automatically. The AC charging
process is indicated by a small light. To stop the charging process, hold your
card up to the scanning point. The charging process then stops. You can now
remove the plug and hang it back up in the available holder.
Emergency stop
In case of emergency, the emergency stop button must always be used.
When activating the emergency stop button, the charging process is
disconnected directly, both in terms of software and hardware. After careful
inspection, the back-office system concerned will reset the emergency setting.
The emergency stop button will also have to be deactivated on site for this
purpose.
