Planning the installation

Planning the installation
Prior to the installation, it is recommended that you consider future charging needs so that you can easily expand accordingly in the future.

For an optimal result

• We always recommend a 3-phase installation if possible, to make it future-proof.
• If possible, use the largest approved cable cross-section (see Technical specifications).
• Consider installing Easee Ready backplates if there are plans for adding more chargers in the future.
• To avoid overloading the building’s main fuse, the Easee Equalizer can be used for dynamic load balancing. The maximum current value can also be set as required during configuration.

RCDs
Easee Charge Lite shall be installed with an external Type-A RCD in front of each charge point.1 Easee Charge Lite will disconnect the supply in case of DC fault currents above 6 mA, thus no external Type-B RCD is required. The internal DC fault protection is automatically tested at start-up, between every charging session or at least every 24 h.

The external RCD is not included with the charger and must be according to one of the following standards:

• EN 61009-1
• EN 61008-1
• EN 62423
• EN 60947-2

Overcurrent
Easee Charge Lite shall be installed with an external overcurrent protection device in front of each charge point. The external overcurrent device is not included with the charger and must be according to one of the following standards:

• EN 61009-1
• EN 60898
• EN 60947-2
• EN 60269

A combined RCD and overcurrent protection device (RCBO), according to EN 61009-1, is typically the preferred choice recommended by Easee for a safe, user-friendly, and cost-efficient installation.

NOTES

• RCDs must disconnect all live conductors.
• For manual diagnostic and initialization of the RCD test, please use the Installer App and diagnostic tool.

Special considerations

• The equipment is intended for non-restricted access.
• The charging station is mode 3 equipment.
• PIN code: The PIN code is required for installation and is located on the front of the Chargeberry. It is recommended to keep the PIN code for safekeeping, e.g. inside the fuse cabinet.
• Site Key: During installation, a Site Key must be used to assign the Charging Robots to the correct location in the Easee Cloud. A Site Key will automatically be generated when creating a new charging site using the Easee Installer App or it can be obtained by creating a new charging site at easee.cloud.

CAUTION
This device can emit electromagnetic radiation, including high-frequency electromagnetic radiation.

Your house, power grid, and EV
The Charging Robot automatically adapts to the power grid, the electric car, and the capacity of the electrical installation. In the table, you can see what charging effect you can expect from your installation and situation. The table is only meant as a guide.

CAUTION
The type of installation as well as cable cross-sections must be determined by a qualified electrician per valid local, regional, and national regulations for electrical systems.

2. Pull the tool until the front cover comes loose and remove the cover.
3. Grasp the Type 2 socket and push upwards with good force until the Chargeberry disconnects. Make sure you do not touch the cable locking mechanism.

Mounting

Fix the backplate to a solid, non-perforated wall or structure with sufficient load-bearing capacity using the 4 wall screws provided in the mounting kit. Use suitable wall plugs for mounting and observe the local regulations for recommended installation height.

CAUTIONS

• The installation wall must cover the entire back of the product. If this is not possible to achieve, it is possible to use the Easee Mount.
• The area should not be exposed to direct rain, direct sunlight or explosive gases. A physical barrier is recommended to protect the charger.
• Install at a height of 130–140cm, with an angle no more than +/- 3 degrees from vertical. Suggested installation height for accessibility: 80–95 cm.

Adding external protection

External Type A RCD protection is required for each backplate with Charge Lite. The RCD must meet the regulations and requirements stated in Planning the installation.

NOTE
If you will have multiple charging points at the same time, you must have a requisite external Type A RCD protection for each backplate with a Charge Lite charger. Examples can be found at support.easee.com.

Preparing

1. Shorten the sealing plug to fit the cable. The hole should be slightly smaller than the cable to ensure a good seal.
2. Insert the cable through one of the 4 cable entries and secure it to the backplate with the strain relief provided.
3. Close all cable entries that are not in use with the supplied blind plugs.

Wiring

1. Strip each wire, exposing 12 mm of copper on each. If the cable has flexible conductors, then you must use ferrules on stranded wires to make the connection. Use the correct tools to press them.
2. Tighten the screw terminals with a torque of 5 Nm.

NOTES

• It is recommended to follow the existing color codes used in the installation. Depending on national standards, the colors of the cables can vary from the illustrations. The illustrations in this manual follow the IEC 60446 standard.
