• This unit shall not be used for any other purpose than electric vehicle charging modes as specified in IEC 61851.
• Do not modify this unit. If modified, CIRCUTOR will reject all responsibility and the warranty will be void.
• The Charge point does not support the ventilation optional function described in IEC 61851-1:2017 (clause 6.3.2.2).
• Do not use any adapter, except those approved by the EV manufacturer. Adapter only allowed to eHome Link models with socket-outlet.
• Do not perform any repair or manipulation of the unit while it is energized.
• Only trained and qualified personnel should be able to access to low-voltage electrical parts inside the unit.
• Check the installation annually by qualified technician.
• Remove from service any item which have a fault that could be dangerous for users (broken plugs, caps that don’t close…).
• Use only CIRCUTOR supplied spare parts.
• Do not use this product if the enclosure or the EV connector is broken, cracked, open, or shows any other indication of damage.

SHORT DESCRIPTION

The Wallbox eHome Link charge point is especially designed to be easily installed in private car parks, both indoors and out, for the purpose of charging every EV model on the market in MODE 3 (in accordance with the European IEC 61851-1 standard), by simply connecting its cable with a Type 1 or Type 2 connector, or by connecting the EV cable to the Type 2 socket on the charger.
What’s included:

Overview

1. CIRCUTOR Logo
2. Status LED bar
3. Front cover
4. Cable + Connector.
5. Frame
6. Socket-outlet(1)

(1) Plugs may vary depending on the model.

Operating Instructions

Charging procedure

1. GREEN FIX BAR STATUS
   The eHome Link has a status LED beacon. When it is in green color, it means that the unit is available and ready to start the charge.

2. PLUG
   To start a new charge process, plug the connector into your car and in the Charge Point.

3. BLUE FIX LED STATUS
   When the status LED light bar turns blue, it means that the eHome Link is preparing the charge process. This state might happen in a short period of time.

4. BLUE DYNAMIC BLINKING LED STATUS
   The eHome Link starts the charge process. While charging the EV, the LED light bar will be flashing continuously.

5. BLUE FIX LED STATUS
   Once the charge process is completed, the status LED light bar stops flashing and remains fixed in blue.

6. UNPLUG
   At this moment you can unplug the vehicle connector from the car and from the Charge Point if it is necessary.

7. GREEN FIX LED STATUS
   Once the cable is disconnected, the LED light status bar turns back into green. In this status, the Charge Point is available to start a new charge process, whenever it is required.

Error states

The eHome Link is capable of detecting the following operating errors:

• Disabled Socket-outlet
• D state Error
• E state Error
• Proximity Error
• Negative PWM voltage Error
• RCD Error
• Maximum selected output current Error
• Welded Contact Error
• Temperature Error

Whatever the error case is, the Charge Point will stop charging and technical assistance will be required, except from the temperature error. In this last case, the Charge Point starts charging when the operating temperature is reached again. In the following sections it will be explained how the eHome Link indicates the above mentioned errors and the actions taken by the Charge Point.

1. DISABLED SOCKET-OUTLET
   This means that the socket-outlet is disabled, so the charging procedure cannot start. If this is the case, the status LED light would turn into red.

2. D STATE ERROR
   In some old EVs, this state means that there are some gases coming out from the batteries. So, an external ventilation in the car park might be required. If it were the case, the status LED light would turn into red and keep blinking permanently.

3. E STATE ERROR
   This means that there has occurred a communication error between the EV and the Charge Point. If this is the case, the status LED light bar turns into red and flashes in a sequence of two blinks.

4. PROXIMIT Y ERROR
   When the Charge Point is connected to the EV, a Proximity short-circuit to earth may occur. Then, the status LED light bar turns into red and flashes in a sequence of three blinks.

5. NEGATIVE PWM VOLTAGE ERROR
   When the Charge Point is connected to the EV, the PWM signal, used to communicate the Charge Point with the EV, can be negative. Then, the status LED light bar turns into red and flashes in a sequence of four blinks.

6. RCD ERROR
   The electric protections of the unit are tripped. In this case the status LED light bar turns into red and flashes in a sequence of five blinks. To solve this error, the user must disconnect the connector from the Charge Point, and connect it back again to reset the RCD.

7. MAXIMUM SELEC TED OUTPUT CURRENT ERROR
   If this on-board current limit selection is not set up according to the hardware features, the Charge Point detects it and shows this error. In this case, the status LED light bar turns into red and flashes in a sequence of six blinks.

8. WELDED CONTAC T
   An internal short circuit has been detected. In this case, the status led light bar turns red and flashes in a sequence of seven blinks.

9. TEMPERATURE ERROR
   When the Charge Point temperature is above a certain value, it is detected by the Charge Point. In this situation, the status LED light bar turns into yellow blinking. If this is the case, the Charge Point will not be operating, temperature is too high to charge, so you will have to wait until the operating temperature is reached. Then the Charge Point starts charging again.

Additional Features

This unit will be eqquiped with an overvoltage protection device, a meter reconnection function and an integrated RCD DC 6 mA leakage detector.

OVERVOLTAGE
This device is an electronic line overvoltage protection to protect the EV.
The grid supply input will be monitored to detect possible overvoltage that may surpass a safety limit of 260 V, in that case the charge will be stopped to protect the user’s vehicle.
If this protection actuates the eHome Link will be disconnected, and it will reconnect automatically once the voltage safe value of 247 V is reached.

RCD DC 6 mA LEAK AGE DETEC TOR
This protective function detects leakage current in order to prevent any electric hazards.
This function has a test button for verification.

GRID METER RECONNEC TION FUNC TION
In the event of the company meter trips out, the eHome Link has an automatic reset function, so it is not necessary for the user to take any action to enable the reset.
