Introduction
This product is a single-phase AC charging unit, mainly used for AC fast
charging of electric vehicles. The design of the product is simple. It
provides card swiping, plug & play charging modes and online charge control.
The principle of industrial design is adopted for the equipment, with the
original function of toppling protection to ensure safe operation of the
equipment. The protection level of the whole equipment reaches IP55, and it
has good dustproofing and waterproofing functions and can be safely operated
and maintained outdoors.
The charging unit is intelligent, with timing, billing (optional), electricity
metering, and human-computer interaction interface.
This product is a single gun 7.4kW AC charging unit, with OCPP for commercial
operation , advance WIFI/App/Bluetooth/RFID control features and Tamper proof
sensor.
It provides AC charge to EVs, and features an intuitive, interactive touch
screen, card reader, electric power metering module and network communication
module.
The customer is the one who purchases the charger and is responsible for its
operation and maintenance. On the other hand, the user is the individual who
uses the charger to charge their electric vehicle.
This EV charger has OCPP, which allows the customer to integrate the charger
with various billing systems or apps for easier payment and management.
However, even if the customer does not set up OCPP, they can still manually
input prices and charge their users based on those prices. In such cases, an
external payment meter would be required for billing purposes.
It’sworth noting that setting up OCPP is highly recommended, as it provides a
streamlined and automated billing system, making it much easier for the
customer to manage the chargerandits users.
This unit comes with a built in electricity meter, providing detailed insight
into electricity usage and expenditure. Perfect for keeping track of how much
electricity your charger has consumed.
This unit comes with a built-in Tamper-proof sensor, The device records any
attempts to remove the front cover and notifies the charge point’s owner.

5.7.1.Three Charging Configurations
1- Basic Paramater Configuration
In the “Basic Parameter” section, users can input information such as the
charger number, local time, rated current and load balancing
current.
2- Communication Data Configuration
In the “Basic Parameter” section, users can input information such as the
charger number, local time, rated current and load balancing current.
3- Basic Function Configuration
There are 4 charging modes, which will be explained in greater detail below.
-Metering mode: internal meter/external meter
-Ground detection and PEN protection: use/prohibition
5.8. Operating Modes
Online Mode: This mode enables users to schedule and monitor charging
sessions through the “Smart Life” App. With this mode, users can set up
charging schedules for their electric vehicle, track the progress of their
charging session, and receive notifications about their session’s status.
RFID Mode: In this mode, users can swipe their personal RFID (Radio
Frequency Identification) cards to access the charger. This mode allows the
customer to track usage by individual users and charge them for the amount of
energy they use.
Reserved Mode: This mode provides users with more control over their
charging experience. Users can choose to reserve a fixed amount of power to be
charged, a fixed amount of money to be spent, a fixed period of time (e.g, 2
hours), or a specific time frame (e.g., from 12 am to 6 am). This mode helps
