MANDATORY CHECKS BEFORE INITIAL USE

The following checks must be carried out for commissioning of the charging station. NEVER use the charging station if one or more checks indicate that the power supply or stability of the charging station do not meet requirements. Check the insulation resistance between the phases as per NEN1010, provision 61.3.3.

  • 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.

Before the power is connected to the charging station, you must first call Ecotap® B.V. on +31 (0)411 745 020 (Mo – Fr 09:00 to 16:00) so that we can activate its software (this requires the unique charging station number).

OPERATING / INSTALLATION MANUAL

19.1 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.

19.2 Mounting on the foundation
To fit the foundation, a hole must be dug of roughly L 900 mm x D 450 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 hole in the foundation and the charging station must be lined up. 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.

19.3 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 n10).

MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect the charging station from the power supply and read the manual before performing maintenance or fixing a malfunction.

Only products approved by the supplier can be used to repair or replace components.
Repairs and replacements should always be carried out by a certified specialist.
Maintenance should always comply with and be carried out in accordance with NEN3140 and NEN50110 low voltage EU regulations.
Check the charging station for leaks.
Check the connection of the main power cable and ensure a tight connection, see point 19.3

Treat any damage to the charging station with anti-corrosion 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 is operated using a charging card.
The charging card must be registered in the relevant back-office system.
This required registration can also be done during office hours by calling Ecotap® B.V. Tel. +31 (0)411 745 020. Once registration is complete, the charging station can be used with any Electric Transport charging card (EV charging card) or other suitable cards, both mobile and tag.

23.1 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.

23.2 Emergency stop
In case of emergency, the emergency stop button must always be used.
This can be reached by pressing (breaking) the glass plate with your thumb.
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.
