SHORT DESCRIPTION
WB eHome Link is specially designed to be easily installed both in outdoor and
indoor private car parks, and to be compatible with all the EV models of the
market according to European standard IEC 61851-1, by just plugging your
car.

(*) Socket-outlet may vary depending on the model
Operating Instructions
3.1 Charging procedure
1 — GREEN FIX BAR STATUS
The eHome Link has a status LED beacon. When it is in green color, it means
that the unit is available and ready to start the charge.
2 — PLUG
To start a new charge process, plug the connector into your car and in the
Charge Point. 3 — BLUE FIX LED STATUS
When the status Led light bar turns blue, it means that the eHome Link is
preparing the charge process. This state might happen in a short period of
time.
4 — BLUE
DYNAMIC BLINKING LED STATUS
The eHome Link starts the charge process. While charging the EV, the LED light
bar will be flashing continuously.
5 — BLUE FIX LED STATUS
Once the charge process is completed, the status LED light bar stops flashing
and remains fixed in blue.
6 — UNPLUG
At this moment you can unplug the vehicle connector from the car and from the
Charge Point if it is necessary.
7 — GREEN FIX LED STATUS
Once the cable is disconnected, the LED light status bar turns back into
green. In this status, the Charge Point is available to start a new charge
process, whenever it is required. 
3.2 Status LED light errors
The eHome Link is capable of detecting the following operating errors:
- Disabled Socket-outlet
- D state Error
- E state Error
- Proximity Error
- Negative PWM voltage Error
- RCD Error
- Maximum selected output current Error
- Welded Contact Error
- Temperature Error
Whatever the error case is, the Charge Point will stop charging and technical
assistance will be required, except from the temperature error. In this last
case, the Charge Point starts charging when the operating temperature is
reached again.
In the following sections it will be explained how the eHome Link indicates
the above mentioned errors and the actions taken by the Charge Point.
1 — DISABLED SOCKET-OUTLET
This means that the socket-outlet is disabled, so the charging procedure
cannot start.
If this is the case, the status LED light would turn into red.
2 — D STATE ERROR
In some old EVs, this state means that there are some gases coming out from
the batteries. So, an external ventilation in the car park might be required.
If it were the case, the status LED light would turn into red and keep
blinking permanently.
3 — E STATE ERROR
This means that there has occurred a communication error between the EV and
the Charge Point. If this is the case, the status LED light bar turns into red
and flashes in a sequence of two blinks.
4 — PROXIMITY ERROR
When the Charge Point is connected to the EV, a Proximity short-circuit to
earth may occur. Then, the status LED light bar turns into red and flashes in
a sequence of three blinks.
5 — NEGATIVE PWM VOLTAGE ERROR
When the Charge Point is connected to the EV, the PWM signal, used to
communicate the Charge Point with the EV, can be negative. Then, the status
LED light bar turns into red and flashes in a sequence of four
blinks.
6 — RCD ERROR
The electric protections of the unit are tripped. In this case the status LED
light bar turns into red and flashes in a sequence of five blinks. To solve
this error, the user must disconnect the connector from the Charge Point, and
connect it back again to reset the RCD.
7 — MAXIMUM SELECTED OUTPUT CURRENT
ERROR
If this on-board current limit selection is not set up according to the
hardware features, the Charge Point detects it and shows this error. In this
case, the status LED light bar turns into red and flashes in a sequence of six
blinks.
8 — WELDED CONTACT
An internal short circuit has been detected. In this case, the status led
light bar turns red and flashes in a sequence of seven blinks.
9 —
TEMPERATURE ERROR
When the Charge Point temperature is above a certain value, it is detected by
the Charge Point. In this situation, the status LED light bar turns into
yellow blinking. If this is the case, the Charge Point will not be operating,
temperature is too high to charge, so you will have to wait until the
operating temperature is reached. Then the Charge Point starts charging again.
Additional Features
This unit will be eqquiped with an overvoltage protection device, a meter
reconnection function and an integrated RCD Type A 30 mA + DC 6 mA leakage
detector.
OVERVOLTAGE
This device is an electronic line overvoltage protection to protect the EV.
The grid supply input will be monitored to detect possible overvoltage that
may surpass a safety limit of 260 V, in that case the charge will be stopped
to protect the user’s vehicle.
If this protection actuates the eHome Link will be disconnected, and it will
reconnect automatically once the voltage safe value of 247 V is reached.
RCD TYPE A 30 m A + DC 6 m A LEAKAGE DETECTOR
This protective function detects leakage current in order to prevent any
electric hazards.
This function has a test button for verification.
GRID METER RECONNECTION FUNCTION
In the event of the company meter trips out, the eHome Link has an automatic
reset function, so it is not necessary for the user to take any action to
enable the reset.
