| The operating temperate assumes the ambient temperature of a product delivered in the default enclosure colours RAL9016 (star white) + 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 charging session 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 Wall Lite 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 Wall Lite 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).
• An RCD of type A or B (according to local regulations) with rated residual operating current of 30 mA must also be installed. 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 30 cm cable available at the location of the EV Wall Lite to be able to connect it easily internally.
• Local regulations may be applicable and can vary depending upon the region or country.

| The power supply enters the station at the bottom of the housing through the middle cable gland.
---|---
The Cat 5/6 Ethernet cable also enters the charging station via the bottom of the housing.

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 Ethernet cable
The EV Wall Lite requires a stable internet connection via Ethernet. An RJ45 connector (not supplied) should be attached to the end of the cable.

Prepare the mounting
The Smappee EV Wall Lite is designed to be mounted on a wall.
When positioning the EV Wall Lite, take into account that the power supply cables and Ethernet cable are entering the housing at the bottom through cable glands. The central M32 cable gland is for the power supply, the M20 cable gland for the Ethernet cable.

Tools (not included)

• Screwdrivers
• 3mm Hex screwdriver
• 7mm socket wrench with extension bar
• Multimeter and earth ground meter
• Wire stripper and cutter
• Needle-nose pliers
• Ferrules crimper, for stranded power supply cables
• Drill and rock drill diameter 10 mm
• Hammer
• RJ45 crimping tool

Supplies (included)

• 3 x wall plugs and screws (Ø 4.8 mm x 50 mm)
• 3 x M4 x 6 mm HEX screws

Supplies (not included)

• CAT 5/6 ethernet cable and RJ45 connector for internet access
• Power supply cables
• Ferrules (6 mm²), for stranded power supply cables

Installation and activation

This procedure describes the required steps for the physical installation of the EV Wall Lite.

| 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.

Place the mounting plate in position

• Use the mounting plate to mark the position of the screws on the wall where the EV Wall Lite is to be positioned.
• Make sure the mounting plate is positioned with the 2 insert holes on the bottom and that it hangs level.
• Drill 3 holes of 10 mm diameter through the slots to a depth of 50 mm. Insert the supplied wall plugs into the holes.
• Attach the mounting plate, with the 3 bulges facing the wall, to the wall with the supplied screws, as depicted below.

Place the EV Wall Lite in position

• Untighten the two M4 nuts on the back of the front plate and remove the front plate of the EV Wall Lite. Safely put aside the front plate to avoid damaging the PCB-board attached to it.
• Attach the EV Wall Lite housing to the mounting plate using the three supplied M4 x 6 mm HEX screws.

Power supply connection

• Slide the power cable through the middle cable gland.
• Cut the power supply cables to adequate length and add the ferrules to each conductor if stranded cables are used.
• 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.
• Connect each power supply cable to the relay board using the connectors labelled with ‘IN’. Respect the phase assignment of L1, L2 and L3.

If you have a single-phase power supply, only the L1, N and PE wires are connected.

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

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

When an EV Wall Lite 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 + N 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.
• As depicted, the L3 connector is left empty. The L3 power supply cable is connected to the N connector block.
• We highly recommend that you test compatibility with the customer’s EV during installation. If you have connected the EV Wall Lite 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!

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.

Closure

• Attach an RJ45 connector to the Ethernet cable after feeding it through the right cable gland. Plug it into the Smappee Connect.
• As an optional setup, it is possible to remove the Connect from the EV Wall Lite and mount it inside of the building. See “Optional: mount the Connect inside of the building” for more information
• Mount the front plate into position by connecting the 12-pin plug to the PCB attached to the front plate. Make sure to hear a click when connecting the 12-pin plug.
• Mount and tighten the supplied M4 nuts.

Switching on the EV Wall Lite

• Check all connections are secure and power-up the EV Wall Lite.
• Check the status LEDs
  • Smappee Connect: blue flashing
  • Power Box: green flashing light (1 x per 3 seconds)

Optional: mount the Connect inside of the building

• In some rare occasions, it might be beneficial that the Smappee Connect is removed from the EV Wall Lite and mounted inside of the building.
• This might be an option when the owner is concerned about the security of the Internet connection and doesn’t want an Ethernet cable to leave the building.
• A second reason might be that the owner opts for a Wi-Fi internet connection and the signal is not strong enough to reach the EV Wall Lite.
• It is possible to remove the Connect from the EV Wall Lite and mount it inside of the building.

This kind of setup requires some additional components, which are not included.

Below you find the schematic overview on how this alternative installation can be accomplished.

Follow the steps below to make the correct interconnections between all components.

• Remove the RJ10 data cables from the Connect.
• Connect the RJ10 cable from the B-port of the Power Box to one of the B-ports of the relay board.
• Pay attention not to connect this cable to the A-port of the relay board.
• Mount the Connect in the desired location. To accomplish this, an extra DIN mounting plate or wall mounting plate is necessary (not included).
• Route an Ethernet cable for internet connection to the Connect. Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port of the Connect (not included).
• Route an RJ10 data cable from the Connect to the EV Wall Lite. Connect this data cable to one of the B-ports of the Connect (not included).
• Route the RJ10 data cable through the right cable gland.
• Connect the new RJ10 data cable to the remaining B-port of the relay board.
• Pay attention not to connect this cable to the A-port of the relay board.

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 the front plate of the EV Wall Lite, 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.
