Before installation
3.1.1 Safety check
· Check for transport damages. · Before connecting the product to the power
supply, check that the power supply voltage and
current rating corresponds with the power supply details shown on the product
rating label.
CAUTION: Disconnect the power supply before installing or repairing the charge
point. Failure to do so may result in physical injury or damage to the power
supply system and the charge point. CAUTION: Avoid touching or pressing the
OLED screen all times, as this may result in damage to the OLED screen.
DANGER: RISK OF SUFFOCATION Keep any packing materials away from children
these materials are a potential source of danger, e.g. suffocation. CAUTION:
Cord extension sets are not allowed to be used.
The charge point must be installed only by a licensed electrician in
accordance with the provisions of the local electrical industry construction
and should comply with national electrical codes and standards.
Before installing the charge point, make sure you have read all of these
instructions in this manual and fully understand its contents.
Appropriate protection is required when connecting to a main switchboard. The
tools and parts used as outlined in the section “Tools & parts required for
installation”.
3.1.2 Grounding instructions
The charge point must be implemented equipment grounding through a permanent
wiring system or an equipment grounding conductor. Use a wire with a dedicated
grounding wire and a ring terminal and connected to the equipment ground
terminal block for grounding.

Local Load Management (LLM) Settings [for IC only]
Local load management is the process of balancing the supply of electricity on the network with the electrical load by adjusting or controlling the load of each charge point in a local group which is based on Gateway/Client architecture. The Gateway IC must be manually set the maximum current limitations so that it will dynamically adjust output current in each Client IC by charging policy.
When LLM function is on, all charge points will request for charging to Gateway, and Gateway will calculate the proper current limit and reply to each Client. Each charge point will only allow charging when received a current limit from Gateway. If disconnection occurred between a Client and Gateway, then the Client will use fallback value as the limitation.

4.6.3 Operation mode
There are two different operation modes, Distribution mode and Priority mode.
Each time when a new coming car is plugged-in and start charging. The LLM
gateway will re-calculate the proper ampere for each charging station.
Base on the different mode, the algorithm is different.
Distribution mode (Uniform Distribution) The available current is divided
equally amongst all available charging stations.
Example 1 In this example, there are three (32A) charging stations in the LLM group. Setting up each charging stations according to the following settings:

With two connected vehicles, the charging currents are evenly reduced to 30A.
With three connected vehicles, the charging currents are further reduced to
20A.

Authorization (for IC only)
Before the owner of an electric vehicle can start or stop charging, the Charge
Point has to authorize the operation.
5.2.1 Online Authorization
Description: · Generally, before the owner of an electric vehicle can start or
stop charging, the EVSE has to
authorize the operation. The EVSE SHALL only supply energy after
authorization.
Figure 5-1 On-line Authorization
5.2.2 Local Authorization
Description: · Synchronized with the Central System when EVSE is Online. · To
improve the experience for users, the EVSE MAY support local authorization
when EVSE is
offline, and faster authorization response time when communication between
Charge Point and Central System is slow.

authorizing 4. Charging session start
Stop charging
1. Unplug any time (disconnect the charging plug from EV to stop charging
session) 2. Session ended (please return the connector to the holster)

5.4.2 Auto restart
When a charging session is interrupted due to a temporary error condition, the
charge point will automatically restart charging when the cause of the
temporary error condition returns to normal. Status indicator lights remain
flashing RED until the error condition is resolved.
· Temporary error conditions include: Over Current, Over Voltage, Under
Voltage, and Over Temperature.
· For Over Current conditions: The charging session will be stop while OC
occurs. After recovery from OC for 30 seconds, the charge point will
automatically restart charging for three times.
· When charging session stopped due to CCID trip, the charge point will try to
restart after 15 minutes for 3 times.
5.4.3 Power outage recovery
When power resumes after an outage, the charge point restarts automatically
with a delay ranging from 120 to 720 seconds. The delay is designed to avoid
impacting the utility grid when multiple charge points are in the same area
attempting to resume charging simultaneously.
General care
The exterior of the charge point is designed to be waterproof and dust proof.
To ensure proper maintenance of the charge point, follow these guidelines:
· Despite the water resistance of the enclosure, when cleaning it is preferred
to not direct streams of water at the unit. Clean with a soft, damp cloth.
· Make sure the charging plug is put back in the holster after charging to
avoid damage. · Ensure the power cable is stored on the charge point after use
to avoid damage. · If the power cable or the charging plug is damaged, please
contact Customer Support.
