SIEMENS SIE-T40011-00-4AUS VersiCharge AC User Manual

SIEMENS SIE-T40011-00-4AUS VersiCharge AC

Application Setup

Siemens is proud to offer industry-leading control and monitoring functionality built into the VersiCharge product.

1. Smartphone Application. This is the preferred method for VersiCharge charger owners with 10 or less chargers per account. Search for Sifinity Go in the App Store for the iOS operating system (for iPhone owners) or in the Google Play Store for the Android operating system. Download the application.
2. PC Application. The VersiCharge Configuration Tool is the preferred method for VersiCharge owners and installers that are commissioning multiple chargers, such as with parent-child configurations.
   NOTE: In case of a Wi-Fi network failure, the charger will continue to function based upon the registered state. If the schedule function is enabled, it will continue to run indefinitely. All demand response settings will be saved. User interface functionality will remain the same.

Mobile App User Registration

MOTE If the charger is moved or ownership changes, it must be deregistered prior to recommissioning.Deregistering the unit can be done through the mobile app or VersiCloud for multiple chargers.
Install the Sifinity Go mobile application from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store (ensure you have an internet connection on your VersiCharge). Upon opening the app, follow the prompted instructions to create an account and set up your charger(s), if you are configuring 10 or fewer charges per your account. The web app (https://www.versichargesg.com/Account1Login?ReturnUrl=%2f%20) and smartphone app follow the same steps.

Create an Account

• NOTE: If a charger is moved to another network or if ownership is changed, the charger must be deregistered before recommissioning. The charger will not automatically commission to a new network, but remembers the initially commissioned network.
• The following process links your VersiCharge to your chosen wireless network, enabling communication with the Siemens Cloud network.
  • Follow next steps to add a charger to your account.
• NOTE: Residential 40 A Unit Only – Before beginning to link the charger to an account, ensure the breaker powering ? the dedicated branch circuit is ‘OFF’; plug in the VersiCharge. Turn the breaker ‘ON’ after plugging the unit in.
• The Power Available LED will turn white and the Wi-Fi Status LED will go through the following process:
  • The indicator should initially slowly blink red, switch to slowly blinking yellow, and then slowly blink white.
  • Once the indicator slowly blinks white, the charger has transitioned to Access Point (AP) mode, will switch to blinking white, and is ready to be connected to a Wi-Fi, LAN or cellular network.
• Once in AP mode, you may use your Sifinity Go mobile app or your laptop to commission the VersiCharge to a network with an open internet connection to establish connection to the Siemens VersiCloud system for management and to receive periodic charger updates.

Troubleshooting Tips

• If the LED faults on the Siemens VersiCharge begin to flash after the unit has already been commissioned, attempt to resolve the issue by power cycling the unit.
• If the LEDs continue to flash after power cycling the Siemens VersiCharge, the unit must be returned to Siemens for replacement. Please reach out to customer support at 855-950-6339, option 9, to begin the replacement process.

VersiCharge Operation

• Safety instructions during the charging process

  • Do not kink or squeeze the charging cable. Do not draw the charging cable over sharp edges or hot surfaces.
  • Do not use the charging station if damage or tampering is visible. If damage is visible, inform the operator. Until damage is repaired, keep away from the charging station and do not attempt to charge an EV.
  • Grip the power plug/connector to disconnect from the charging unit. Do not remove the connector by pulling on the cable.
  • Never touch the power plug/connector with wet hands.
  • Do not connect or disconnect any cables during a thunderstorm.

• Risk of overheating and fire
  Unauthorized accessories should not be used with the VersiCharge due to risk of fire and/or overheating.

  • Do not use a charging cable that is not approved for the vehicle.
  • Do not use an extension to connect the charging station to the vehicle.
  • The utilization of adapters or extension cables is not allowed by the charging standards and is not recommended; it therefore is the sole responsibility of the cable or adapter provider.

1. Basic Procedure

   • Using the charger connector, gently insert the connector into the EV. Be sure not to force the connection or bend any pins in the connector.

   • Check the charger “Lock” light (see Figure 19, commercial chargers only); when lit, the front panel is locked and will not begin charging. Pass a user RFID card in front of the reader to unlock and begin charging. The “Lock” light will be off. RFID authentication is successful when the Charging Process Light flashes twice from the bottom up and there is an audible tone. RFID authentication is not successful when there are two audible tones.

   • If RFID authentication is successful, charging will begin automatically.

   • If a delay is needed, press the Touch Sensitive button once for a 2-hour delay, twice for a 4-hour delay, three times for a 6- hour delay and four times for an 8-hour delay. Once the delay is selected, charging will begin automatically after the delay countdown.
     NOTE The delay function is not supported using the Touch Sensitive button if the charger is configured for OCPP communication or if RFID is enabled.

   • Set a delay by pressing the Touch Senstive button or by using the Sifinity Go mobile app.

NOTE: The LED bar display indicates that current is flowing to the vehicle and the vehicle battery is charging. The LED bar display is off in the following cases:

  *  **The vehicle is not drawing power.**
  * The charging unit pauses, for example, because of load management.
  * The vehicle pauses the charging.
  *  **Charging is completed.**
  * Once charging is completed, the “Ready” status light turns off.
  * Carefully remove the connector from EV and stow the cable in the cable holster to prevent damage to either the cable or connector.

2. Start Charging – RFID Feature
   Proceed as follows to begin charging:

   • Check that the charger is ready for operation: The Power LED must be lit and white.

   • Register an RFID card on the device.
     If the RFID function is activated on your device, hold your RFID card in front of the card reader.
     An acoustic signal should emit.

   • Register on the device with a method supported by the operator; for example, via an app.

   • Open the EV connection cover and insert the charger connector into EV socket. Make sure that the connector pins are not bent or damaged before inserting into the EV socket.

   • The device will lock the plug into the socket. The “Vehicle connected” LED will light up.
     NOTE: LED lights indicate the charger status:

   • After successful authorization, charging will begin automatically unless a delay has been set.
     NOTE: The communication connection to the vehicle is established. This process may take some time depending on the connection speed and response speed of the backend (such as VersiCloud) and vehicle.
