Homebox Manual

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting the Ecotap® Homebox.
This manual describes the Homebox with socket and fixed charging cable type 1 or 2 for versions with and without registration.
This manual contains important information on correct and safe installation and use of the charging system.
The Homebox was designed for vehicles fitted with a mode 3 charging system in conformity with IEC 61851-1 (edition 2.0)
with a plug system that conforms to VDE-AR-E 2623-2-2.
The charging system as a whole complies with directive 2014/35/EU on harmonisation of the laws relating to electrical materials within certain voltage limits (recasting of all earlier published versions).
This manual provides information on safe installation and use of the Homebox. This manual was drawn up to ensure optimum operation and lifespan of the Homebox.
This manual was drawn up with great care. However, if anything in the manual is unclear, please contact your supplier before installing the Homebox.
Proper operation of the Homebox can only be guaranteed if the Homebox is installed by an authorised installer / engineer. If
the Homebox is not installed by an authorised installer, this may affect the product warranty.
Please read this manual carefully before installing and using this charging system. Store this manual in the vicinity of the charging system for easy access to the instructions and safety regulations.

SAFETY

Please read the following safety regulations with care before installing and using the charging system.

4.1 Safety instructions
Before you install the charging station, you must make sure the location is safe for all bystanders. NEVER allow children onto this worksite. Never allow ANYONE who has nothing to do with the work onto the worksite.

• Never be distracted while you are performing the work.
• Make sure you maintain a healthy posture at all times while doing the work.
• Do not leave any tools or charging station components unattended.
• Make sure any tools you are using are clean and dry.
• Make sure that the charging station, tools and components will stay dry when it is raining.

When switching off the power of the system, always make sure the measurement instrument used for testing this is checked for proper operation repeatedly.

MANDATORY CHECKS BEFORE COMMISSIONING

DThe following checks are mandatory before commissioning the Homebox. NEVER use the Homebox if 1 or more checks indicate that the power supply or the stability of the Homebox does not meet the requirements.
**** Always perform the following checks before switching on the power supply of the Homebox.

√ All the following work must be carried out in full conformity with NEN 3140.
√ Check if the terminals have been properly tightened (3.5 to 5 NM).
√ Check the earth connection.
√ Check if the power cable thickness matches the fuse value.
√ Check if the Homebox has been mounted securely.
√ Check if the cable glands are watertight.
√ Keep the area around the workplace free of obstacles.

OPERATION / INSTALLATION MANUAL

6.1 Requirements for the power cable

The power cable must be attached to a separate group in the distributor / meter cupboard. For an automatic system, this must be the C or D characteristic or equivalent. Cabling must be in full conformity with NEN1010.

Exceptions to NEN1010 are:
– Earth distribution resistance < 30 Ohm.
– Installation resistance < 2 Ohm.

6.2 Mounted on a wall or on a special rack

The Homebox should preferably be mounted at a height of +/- 100 centimetres, measured from the lower edge of the Homebox.

First remove the steel shield using the torx screw at the bottom. Feed the cable into the Homebox and fix the cable with the cable gland.(The cable can be fed in from the back wall as well as via the existing gland inlet on the bottom).
Connect the wires in the way indicated on the terminator strip.
Connect the phase wires to the terminals L1 / L2 / L3.
Connect the neutral wire to the neutral terminal.
Connect the shielding/earthing wire to the neutral terminal.
(This can be 1-phase or 3-phase, depending on the available power source.
If you want to use 1-phase, connect to Phase 1 and to Neutral and Earth.)
Use the proper screwdriver size for connecting the wires, and tighten the screws with a torque of at least 3.5Nm. Do not forget to connect the loose earthing wire from the Homebox to the loose cover.
Use the correct screws included to securely fix the Homebox to the wall or rack.
When using the special mounting rack, the cable must be guided through the opening of the structure. The mounting rack must be sunk at least 70 centimetres (max. 90) into the underground and may need to be anchored in concrete.

MAINTENANCE

Always switch off the power and read the user manual before carrying out maintenance or fixing problems. Only products approved by the supplier must be used for repairs or replacement of components. Repairs and replacements must be carried out by an authorised employee / installer. All maintenance work must be carried out in compliance with the NEN3140 and NEN 50110 Euro standards for low-voltage equipment. Treat damage to the Homebox with rust- proof paint.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

Transport the Homebox in the box it was delivered in. When shipping the Homebox, apply a clear indication that the item must be handled with care.

RESOLVING PROBLEMS

If the charging system does not work properly, you can contact back office provider or an authorised installer in possession of measurement and testing equipment with car simulation.

OPERATION OF THE CHARGING SYSTEM

The Homebox can be operated with a charge card, push button or is self- starting.

The Homebox can be operated either with a charging pass or with the button, or the system is self-starting.
The Homebox version “Laden Met Registratie / LMR” (Charging with registration) needs to be registered.
This registration is possible by calling Ecotap® B.V. during office hours. Tel. +31 (0) 411 74 50 20.
As soon as registration is completed, the Homebox can be used with any Electric Transport charging pass, or other suitable pass.
When the Homebox is not in use, a green light will flash regularly.
Operation:
The charging procedure can be started and stopped by holding the charging pass in front of the scan point, or by pressing the Start button (only for the version with a Start button). You will hear 1 audio signal and the light starts blinking green.
With the version with a type 2 socket, the plug is locked in the type 2 charging socket. The charging system then communicates with the vehicle and with the back office system. Once all safety and payment conditions have been checked the maximum allowed charging current is released.
The charging procedure is automatically started and the light will flash blue.
To stop the charging process, hold your pass in front of the scan point or press the button (only for the version with a button).
You will hear 2 audio signals, the light starts to blink green and stops when the plug is unlocked. You can now remove the plug.
The version with a flexible/spiral cable does not lock/unlock the Homebox.
The button or autostart operation is used instead of the scan point; with this version no back office check is needed to start the system.
