NOTE: When detailing Load Balancing, this manual assumes the installation of a
single chargepoint. Whilst multiple chargepoints can be connected in a similar
way, installers may wish to consider connecting/monitoring using a third-
party, compliant energy management solution.
If connecting/monitoring via third-party equipment, make sure you are fully
aware of the manufacturer’s instructions so that the device/system can be
installed correctly and in conjunction with the chargepoint installation.
About Load Balancing
This chargepoint has a Load Balancing capability which is designed to prevent
overloads of the property’s power supply when a vehicle is being charged.
Once correctly installed and configured, the system will monitor the power
being drawn by the charging process and will compare this to the permissible
maximum for the property as a whole (which is set as part of the
configuration). With this information, the power made available for charging
can be dynamically adjusted to reduce the load before the property’s maximum
load is exceeded.
NOTES:
· Load balancing ONLY controls power made available to the VEHICLE. It does
not control power to other equipment and it is still possible for that
equipment to overload the property’s power supply.
· Depending on the manufacturer, electric vehicles need a minimum of around 6
Amps to charge. If the available power is below this level, the vehicle may
stop the charge session.
· The lower the power available for charging, the more slowly the vehicle will
be charged.

Product Specification
About Demand Side Response
Demand Side Response (DSR) is where the chargepoint and the electricity
provider are in communication with each other. The electricity provider will
control the chargepoint remotely via the chargepoint software to reduce the
power it draws when it is needed by higher priorities in the area and will
increase power when those priorities reduce.
If the chargepoint is used with a DSR agreement in place, peak and off-peak
charging will not be implemented because the power company’s systems will
control the charging process.
About PME (PEN) Protection
The PME (PEN) protection system removes the need to install a dedicated earth
for the chargepoint although an earth is still required via the power cable.
In the event of a fault, the system will break all power cable connections
between the chargepoint and the vehicle.

Connect a 3-Phase CT to the Property 3-Phase electrical supplies have 3x Live
cables (L1, L2 & L3). This means that for a 3-phase system where load
balancing is required, a CT clamp must be installed around each one of L1, L2
and L3. Unlike a 1-phase system, connecting the CTs to the neutral cable will
not allow the system to function correctly as there are 3 CTs and only 1
Neutral cable.
1. Connect a CT cable clamps to each of L1, L2 and L3 as illustrated above.
Extend the CT Cable If required, a CT cable may be extended up to a
theoretical maximum of 100m.
· To avoid interference and reduce the loss of signal, extension cables should
be as short as possible. Extensions of 20m or less are recommended.
· Extension cables must be a screened `Twisted Pair’. A screened twisted pair
within a CAT6 computer network cable may be used.
NOTE: Twisted pairs within a CAT cable are indicated by their matching
colours. Do NOT use conductors of different colours, to extend a cable;
interference may be induced. If extending more than one CT, use a different
colour pair for each CT.

Installation
Solar Integration The charger can be used to charge a vehicle using only solar
power or using a combination of solar power and power from the grid. A Current
Transformer (CT) device must be connected between the solar system and the
charger to monitor and control to supply of power to the charger from the
solar system. NOTE: CT connections used with a solar system are only possible
with single-phase models of the charger. Three-phase models already use all
the available connections.
Figure 12 Solar CT Monitoring
NOTE: Arrow on the CT(s) must point in the direction of electrical flow and as
shown above.
Connect the CT Cable to the Chargepoint
IMPORTANT: A suitable cable gland must be installed to the chargepoint
enclosure to accept the CT cable(s) and maintain the IP rating of the
enclosure.
1. Connect one CT clamp wires to the screw-down connector plugs as shown opposite.
NOTE:
If extending the CT cable, the cable colours will be those that you have
chosen to use.
2. Attach the connector to the charger.
· If connecting to a single-phase charger, the plug should be connected to the
two TOP terminals of the connector mounted on the PCB.

IMPORTANT: Plug and Socket Alignment Make sure the plug and socket are
correctly aligned. It is possible to make an incorrect connection where, plug
terminal 1 for example is connected into socket terminal 2, and plug terminal
2 for is connected into socket terminal 3, and so on.

Figure 15 Incorrect Connection
NOTE: If solar power is available, a CT from the solar system can also be
connected to the CT Connector Block (single phase systems only). Refer to
Solar Integration on page 20.
Configure Load Balancing Configuration of the load balancing system is
performed using the Smart Application as part of the online configuration
process. If you (the installer) are not configuring load balancing, make sure
the rating of the property main fuse/circuit breaker is written on the rear
cover of this manual so that load balancing can be set up by the user.
The main fuse or circuit breaker in the property’s consumer unit should be
labelled to state the maximum load. The load balancing system must be set to
the same figure (or lower) than that of the main fuse or circuit breaker.
· Do NOT set load balancing above the maximum point. Load balancing will not
initiate and all power to the property will be lost if the maximum point is
reached.
NOTE: Load Balancing only limits the power available to the charger. It may
still be possible to exceed the maximum permitted load of the property if too
many appliances are used at the same time.

ECO Mode
The ECO mode can be selected if the user wants to charge only by solar power.
It’s recommended that the solar power has an output current above 6A when
selects this mode.
· If solar power is not connected to the system, do not choose ECO mode for
charging.
1. A Current Transformer (CT) device must be connected between the solar system and the charger to monitor and control to supply of power to the charger from the solar system.
2. If the CT detects that the current of solar power generation is above 6A, the vehicle is charged according to the solar power generation current, and the max charging current does not exceed the max output current of the charger.
Figure 31 ECO Mode Selected
3. If the CT detects that the current of solar power generation drops under
6A, the charger will keep charging at the minimum charging current 6A to avoid
car dormancy. The deficiency will be provided by the power grid.
4. Under ECO mode (selected with a tick), if turned ON, charging will start
when the vehicle is connected to the charger. If turned OFF, charging will not
start until the ENABLE button on the home is tapped.
NOTES:
· Under Plug and Charge or Schedule Mode, if the CT detects the current from
solar power generation, the solar power output will work as a supplement. The
charger will perform the charging under the max set current by using a
combination of power from the grid and power from the solar system.
· CT connections used with a solar system are only possible with single-phase
models of the charger. Three-phase models already use all the available
connections.
· ECO mode does not have load balancing functionality.

Chargepoint Maintenance
IMPORTANT: National/regional legislation may override any maintenance advice
provided below. Always comply with the legislation.
NOTE: In the event of a hardware issue, always contact your installer first. ·
If damage has been sustained to communications devices and/or other `Smart’
components, it is recommended that an approved Rolec installer is called to
perform the repair. · Damage caused to the equipment by misuse, lack of
maintenance, inappropriate maintenance or modification is not covered by the
manufacturer warranty.
IMPORTANT: It is the owner’s responsibility to make sure the chargepoint is
maintained in a safe and useable condition. Failure to maintain the equipment
may invalidate the warranty. If required, consult/contract an appropriately
qualified electrical engineer.
1. Regularly clean the external surfaces of the equipment with a damp cloth.
Depending on the working environment, external cleaning and inspection may be
required more regularly than other maintenance tasks.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage To avoid damage to the surface finish, and/or
internal components do NOT use:
· Abrasive materials. · Mineral or petroleum solvents / degreasers. · Hose
pipes, Jet washers or Steam cleaners.
2. Regularly inspect the exterior of the equipment for visual damage. · If
damage affects safety, isolate the equipment and prevent its use until
appropriate repairs have been completed.
3. If required, remove debris from around the charging socket/plug(s). Do NOT
push tools into the contacts.
4. Perform a functional test of the switchgear every six months by pressing
the test button on the switchgear and making sure that it operates to remove
power. · If the switchgear fails the test, isolate the equipment and prevent
its use until appropriate repairs have been completed.
5. Once a year (as a minimum), the chargepoint and switchgear should be
electrically inspected/tested by an appropriately qualified electrician in
accordance with the current legislation for the installation location. · If
the equipment fails the inspection, isolate the equipment and prevent its use
until appropriate repairs/maintenance have been completed. · A record of the
tests, results and any maintenance must be kept and may be required to support
warranty claims.
6. Clean the contacts of the SIM card in the Communications Device if mobile
connectivity is poor or intermittent.

Maintenance
7. Do NOT allow charging cables to become contaminated with water (or other
substances). · Always store cables in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions. NOTE: Rubber `dust’ caps that may be attached to cables are only
suitable for short term protection, or protection whilst stored in an indoor
environment. They are not designed to fully protect against water ingress.
Commercial businesses with EV chargepoints should have a Site Maintenance Plan
that considers the type, frequency and intensity of use of the equipment on
site, and which schedules maintenance as appropriate to keep the equipment in
good working order. EV charging equipment should be included in the electrical
element of the site maintenance plan and must be performed by an appropriately
qualified electrical engineer in accordance with applicable regulations for
the region of use. A typical maintenance (inspection and testing) schedule is
provided on the next page. This schedule alternates on a quarterly basis
between a shorter and longer series of steps but the frequency of which this
work is performed must be determined in line with the operator’s Site
Maintenance Plan.
· Failure to properly maintain the chargepoint will invalidate the warranty.
About Software Updates
Software updates can be required for many different reasons such as enhancing
security, to provide compatibility with new models of electric vehicle, or to
meet new regulatory requirements. After an update you may not notice any
significant difference in the behaviour of the chargepoint but updating is
recommended to help ensure the equipment continues to work as intended for as
long as possible. If/when software updates for the chargepoint are released,
you will be offered the update via the management application. If you accept
the update, the new software will be downloaded in the background and will not
normally affect charging activity. When the software has fully downloaded to
the chargepoint it will be installed to the systems that need it.
1. The LED Status Indicator will illuminate RED to indicate that the charger
cannot be used.
2. The chargepoint will shut down then restart and the software will begin
the update. While the update is in progress the chargepoint cannot be used.
3. The LED Status Indicator will illuminate AMBER/YELLOW for up to 5 minutes
or so, (depending on the size of the update) until the update is complete.
4. If the chargepoint has more than one charging socket or cable, the last
step will be repeated for each of the remaining sockets/cables.
5. When the LED status indicator for all sockets/cables flashes BLUE, the
chargepoint is ready for use again.
NOTE: As with a phone or computer, updates of the chargepoint software needs a
strong stable connection.
Updates to the QUBEV phone app may be made available from time to time. Your
phone app store may alert you to the availability of updates. If charge point
functionality changes unexpectedly, check the app store for the availability
of an update that may have been issued to resolve the issue.
