| The operating temperate assumes the ambient temperature of a product delivered in the default enclosure colour RAL7021 (black grey). Direct exposure to sunlight may have an adverse effect on the temperature range.
---|---
If the product is exposed to lower or higher ambient temperatures, continuous operation cannot be guaranteed. If temperatures exceed the maximum values, the charging station will automatically decrease the charging current to decrease the internal temperature of the charging station.
This stabilises the internal temperature and makes it less likely that a transaction will be unexpectedly paused.
If the product is directly exposed to sunlight, the automated temperature management may automatically start below the maximum ambient temperature. Therefore, wherever possible, avoid exposing the charging station to direct sunlight.
Where products are exposed to the elements of nature, the enclosure can be subject to gradual aging of the material, which can result in product discolouration over time.
Therefore, wherever possible, place the product in a sheltered place to optimise the life of the materials.

Preparing the installation

The first step is to prepare the physical installation of the EV One Home as described in this chapter.

Installation prerequisites

• Calculate the existing electrical load to find the maximum operating current for the charging station installation. The Smappee EV One Home is equipped with 1 connector which needs to be powered.
• Obtain all necessary permits from the relevant local authority.
• Refer to local wiring regulations to select the conductor sizes and use only copper conductors.
• Make sure that the installation area of the charging station is adequate for usability and ventilation purposes.
• Use the correct tools and provide sufficient material resources and protection measures.

Power supply

• The appropriate wire gauge of the supply cable depends on the power rating and distance between the meter cabinet and the charging station. The voltage drop must not exceed 5%. It is advisable to have a maximum voltage drop of 3 %.
• The maximum wire gauge that can be fitted is 6 mm² in case of flexible conductors or 10 mm² when solid conductors are used.
• The power supply must be protected against short-circuiting and over-current with an individual B or C circuit breaker with a current rating of maximum 32 A (or otherwise in compliance with local standards and regulations). A charging station connector must always be installed on a dedicated power circuit.
• When the power supply and the charging station are part of a TN-S system, the station must be grounded via the main distributor.
•  Route the power supply cables to the position where the charging station will be installed together with an Ethernet cable for the internet connection (if applicable).
• Make sure that there is at least 100 cm cable available at the location of the EV One Home to be able to connect it easily internally.
• Local regulations may be applicable and can vary depending upon the region or country.
  The maximum power rating for each connector is specified in the table below.

Power per connector| Connection| Input current| Output current
---|---|---|---
7.4 kW| 1-phase| 1 x 32 A| 1 x 32 A
22 kW| 3-phase| 3 x 32 A| 3 x 32 A

Route communication cable
The EV One Home requires a communication cable between the EV One Home and the distribution panel where the CT measurements and Connect gateway are placed. To do this, four twisted pairs of a Cat 5 or Cat 6 networking cable are used. The Cat 5/6 cable should be connected on the RJ-45 port of the relay board of the EV One Home with the ‘A+B’ marking.

Tools (not included)

• Screwdrivers
• 3mm Hex screwdriver
• 8 mm socket wrench with extension bar
• Multimeter and earth ground meter
• Wire stripper and cutter.
• Needle-nose pliers.
• Ferrules crimper, for stranded power supply cables
• RJ45 crimping tool

Supplies (not included)

• CAT 5/6 cable and two RJ45 connectors for wired communication cable.
• Power supply cables
• Ferrules (6 mm²), for stranded power supply cables
• 32 A circuit breaker

Installation and activation

This procedure describes the required steps for the physical installation of the EV One Home.

| CAUTION: The installation must be carried out by a qualified professional who has read this manual and works in compliance with IEC 60364 standards. Neglecting this may lead to severe injuries or hazardous situations while working with electricity.
---|---
CAUTION: The electric system must be entirely disconnected from every power source prior to performing installation or maintenance work. Make sure it is not possible to connect the electric current during installation. Put up caution tape and warning signs to mark the work areas. Make sure no unauthorised people can enter the work areas.
CAUTION: The charging station contains electric components that may still contain electrical charge after being disconnected. Wait at least 10 seconds after disconnection before commencing work.
CAUTION: Adaptors or conversion adaptors and cord extension sets are not allowed to be used.

Prepare the mounting foundation
The Smappee EV One is designed to be installed at ground level using the supplied anchor.
Foresee a power supply & Ethernet cable between the EV One Home and the distribution panel.
Make sure the power supply and Ethernet cable can be positioned through the inner structure of the EV One.
Depending on the subsoil, the size may vary. Please refer to the technical specifications of size and weight to determine the dimensions for a solid foundation for the EV One.
Unbox the EV One

When installing multiple EV One units, it is important not to mix the components of the different units. In the box of each unit, several loose components are found, but these are linked to that specific unit. Mixing those loose components leads to the inability to successfully activate and use the EV One.

For safe and compact transport of the EV One, the outer housing is mounted to the EV One and the anchor components are mounted inside the inner structure.
a. Take the EV One out of its packaging.
b. Unscrew the two bottom screws and slide the outer housing upwards, off the internal structure.
Make sure to place the screws in a secure place as these are needed to later mount the outer housing.
Note that the electronics of the RFID card (top) are protected by extra transparent plastic. Check to see if this plastic is in place and reattach it if necessary. The warranty is void if this plastic is removed.
c. When installation is spread over time or there is a risk of damaging the electronics while mounting the EV One, we advise to temporarily remove the top half of the EV One and set it aside in a safe location To do so, unscrew the four nuts uniting the two parts  of the inner structure. No wires need to be disconnected, nor components removed.

Mount the anchors
a. Remove the two nuts holding the three anchor components to the inner structure. Remove all three components from the inner structure as a whole.
b. Assemble the anchor onto the inner structure. The nuts to mount the anchor components are
present on the inner structure. Use a M8 socket wrench to tighten the nuts.

• First, mount the anchor component with the lip. This one needs to be mounted on the open side of the inner structure.
• The two other components are mounted on the left and right sides of the inner structure.
• One side of the inner structure does not have an anchor component.

Place the EV One in position

a. Place the EV One in the prepared foundation hole.
b. Route the power supply and communication cable through the anchor and into the EV One.
Make sure that there is at least 100 cm cable available at the location of the EV One to be able to easily connect it internally.
c. Make sure the inner structure is standing level in all directions.
d. Verify that the bottom of the EV One is flush with the ground level. The lip on the anchor can be used as a reference. The top of the lip should be level or slightly below ground level.
e. Fill the hole with concrete and let it cure.

Power supply connection
a. If the top half of the inner structure was removed while placing the EV One in position, reattach it to the inner structure, using the four nuts.
b. Cut the power supply cable to adequate length and add the ferrules to each conductor (if needed).
c. Measure the resistance of the grounding circuit and make sure that it is within acceptable limits.
If necessary, install a grounding point closer to the charging station.
d. Connect each power supply cable to the integrated 30 mA RCD.
Make sure to follow the correct connection order. Going from left to right this should be: L3 (grey), L2 (black), L1 (brown) and N (blue).
The PE is connected directly to the terminal block just next to the RCD.
If you have a single-phase power supply, only the L1, N and PE need to be connected. Communication cable
Connect the UTP Communication cable to the RJ-45 port on the relay board labelled with ‘A+B’.
Installation in distribution panel
This chapter describes the installation of the Infinity components in the distribution panel. These components enable overload protection & solar optimization supplied with the EV One Home.

The EV One Home package comes with the required Smappee Infinity components to be installed in the distribution panel to measure the main feeder (total grid consumption) and single-phase solar inverter.
If a three-phase solar inverter, or multiple inverters are present, the EV One Solar Add-on can be purchased. De EV One Solar Add-on contains two extra 50 A CTs and one CT Hub.

Depending on the EV One Home type (1-phase or 3-phase), the included Smappee Infinity components varies:

• EV One Home 1-Phase:
  ▪ 1 x Connect
  ▪ 1 x CT Hub
  ▪ 3 x CT 50A (1x grid + 1x solar + 1x EV measurement)
  ▪ 1 x Smappee splitter

• EV One Home 3-Phase:
  ▪ 1 x Connect
  ▪ 1 x CT Hub
  ▪ 4 x CT 50A (3x grid + 1x solar measurement)
  ▪ 1 x Solid Core 3-Phase CT (EV measurement)
  ▪ 1 x Smappee splitter

If additional CT measurements need to be added, standard Infinity hardware (CT Hubs and CTs) can be purchased and installed in addition to the EV One Home components. Always keep the Smappee Infinity installation guidelines in mind.

For installation of these components, please refer to the diagrams on the next page.
The main installation steps include:
a. Install the 32 A circuit breaker (not supplied) according to local regulations. In case of a threephase EV One  Home:
install the supplied solid-core CT together with the circuit breaker.
b. Install the CTs as indicated on the diagrams on the next page. Connect these to the supplied CT Hub.
c. Install the Smappee Connect and EV One Home splitter. The Smappee Connect should be placed inside or near the distribution panel. It requires a stable internet connection via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
d. Connect the A- and B-bus cables as indicated on the diagram. Connect the Cat 5/6 communication cable to the RJ45 port of the splitter.

Ensure that the CT Hub(s) are connected to the A-port of the Smappee Splitter and the Smappee Connect to the B-port of the Splitter. Also check that the Cat 5/6 communication cable is connected to the splitter and NOT to the Smappee Connect.

Connection diagram EV One Home – 3-phase (3P+N) It is possible to connect a three-phase EV One Home to a single-phase installation. In this case, you select single-phase in the app and follow the instructions in the app.

IMPORTANT notes for 3P (3 x 230 V) – Delta topology

This section is only relevant if you have a delta grid topology, which is only found in some parts of Belgium, Norway and France. If this is not applicable, you can skip this section.

When an EV One Home is installed in a residential installation with a 3P (3 x 230 V) Delta grid connection, some additional requirements need to be taken into account. You can verify whether you have this topology by checking the grid connection to see if the following are true:

• There is no neutral wire.
•  The voltage between two phases is approximately 230 V.
• The voltage between a phase and earth is approximately 130 V.

Some EVs are not compatible with this type of grid connection due to a built- in security in the EV.
Contact your EV manufacturer for more information.
The security feature that some EVs have is a voltage check between the phase that is connected as neutral and the ground. If this is not 0 volts, the car won’t charge. The presence of this security feature may vary for each manufacturer and for each model.
As there is no neutral wire available in this topology, the L3 will be used as neutral. In this case, some EVs will be able to charge dual phase (using both L1 and L2) and some will only charge single phase.
In practice, this may limit the maximum charging power. This again varies for each EV manufacturer and each model.
If your EV is not compatible with this grid topology, or if you would like to achieve higher charging power than what is possible on a delta grid topology, you can install a transformer. This transformer will convert the 3 x 230 V delta topology to a standard 3 x 400 V star topology.

Without transformer
If you are connecting the charging station directly to the 3 x 230 V delta grid, without transformer, please refer to the diagrams below.

We highly recommend that you test compatibility with the customer’s EV during installation. If you have connected the EV One Home as shown above but the EV will not charge, you can try to disconnect the L2 cable going to the socket.
Do not disconnect the L2 of the power supply cable!
If you install an EV One Home on a 3 x 230 V delta grid connection without transformer, the Infinity components in the distribution cabinet should be connected as shown below:

Note that when you measure single-phase loads or solar panels, you must connect and configure the CT(s) as shown below:

Single phase consumer/producer powered by| Connect the clamp around| Phase measured by this CT
---|---|---
L1 and L3| L1| L1
L2 and L3| L2| L2
L1 and L2| L1| L3

With transformer
If a transformer is used to convert the 3 x 230 V delta connection to a standard 3 x 400 V star with neutral, then the charging station’s power supply can be connected as usual. Please refer to the pictures on previous pages for this. The connection in the distribution cabinet is still a little different, as shown in the diagram below.

When a transformer is used in combination with a 3 x 230 V delta topology, the purchase of an additional Smappee Power box is required. This will be placed inside the distribution panel. In this case, the Power Box inside the EV One Home becomes redundant and both RJ10 cables should be disconnected.

Note that when you measure single-phase loads or solar panels, you must connect and configure the CT(s) as shown below:

Single phase consumer/producer powered by| Connect the clamp around| Phase measured by this CT
---|---|---
L1 and L3| L1| L1
L2 and L3| L2| L2
L1 and L2| L1| L3

Closure

Make sure that the RCD switch is set to the ‘On’ position before closing the EV One Home

a. Slide the housing over the inner structure. Make sure the opening for the socket is in line with the socket on the inner structure.
The housing will skew between the inner structure and the lip provided on one of the anchor parts.
b. Tighten the screws at the bottom of the housing. These screws are removed at the beginning of the installation.
c. Attach the door to protect the socket using the provided screws. Place door in a horizontal position for easiest access to mount the screws. Verify the door can move without friction.

Using the EV One Home

There are three ways of charging using a Smappee EV One Home:

1. Plug and charge: Simply connect your cable and start charging.
2. Swipe and charge: Connect the cable, swipe your card and start charging.
3. Scan and charge: Connect the cable, scan the QR code in the Smappee app and start charging.

Below you can find the different charging sequences.
Each EV One Home that is installed and activated is Plug and charge. Changing the Session Activation Method is done using the Smappee Dashboard.
Changing the authentication methods can be done remotely.
Scan and charge and Swipe and charge (with Smappee CSMS) can only be used when a Smappee Payment Agreement has been signed. See this article for more info.

Plug and charge
The charging station is freely accessible without the need to authorize. Anyone can plug their car into the charger and start charging for free.

Start charging Stop charging

Swipe and charge
Charging sessions can be started using an RFID card. You can either use a Smappee Smart Charge Card for free charging or (if activated) a third party eMSP card to pay for charging sessions.
The RFID reader is found on top of the EV One Home, together with the ambient light.

• Whitelist: charging is free with a Smappee Smart Charge Card or any other authorized RFID card. Once the charging cable is plugged-in, the user simply swipes their RFID card and the free charging session begins. All authorized cards must first be added to the whitelist using the ‘Whitelisting’ card on dashboard.smappee.net. See this article for more information.
  Cards can be ordered via the Smappee dashboard.

• Public charging: Other EV drivers can use this charging station and pay with an RFID card / token from a third-party eMSP. This can be done through Smappee’s own CPO or through a third-party CPO. Public charging is activated using the Smappee dashboard. See the Smappee Academy for more information.

• Split Billing: This is aimed at employees who charge their company car at home and need to be reimbursed for the electricity consumption. Split billing agreements must be made for each employee. Starting a charging session is similar to whitelisting but at the end of each month, Smappee Services will send a bill for all employees’ charging sessions to the company. All individual employees will be reimbursed according to the amount of kWh charged. Split billing is activated using the Smappee dashboard. See this article or the Smappee Academy for more information.
