Product Overview
NOTE: The United Kingdom has introduced new regulations (SI 2021/1467) that
apply to domestic and private EV chargepoints, and which aligns them with
other Smart’ appliances. The new regulations are, amongst other things, designed to balance demands for power and to deliver an efficient use of power across the country whilst maintaining a consistent and secure service to EV drivers, when and where they need it. The regulations are an ongoing, multi- part undertaking which may bring additional requirements in the coming months and years. About
Smart’ Services
Chargepoints are to be Smart’ enabled.
Smart’ encompasses a large number of requirements but in summary these are:
x Connected to a `charging application’ such as Monta. x The ability to
receive remote, online software updates. x Capable of measuring the power used
and the power delivered, and the associated
time periods. x Capable of storing and displaying data about charge sessions
to the owner and/or
user, via an application and/or on the chargepoint. x Capable of communication
with the power supplier and able to adjust the delivery of
power in response to commands issued by the supplier. x Capable of charging
even in the event of communications with the network being
lost. Data recorded about the charge session will be communicated at the next
available opportunity. x The ability to use other charging networks (that meet
the Smart requirements). x The ability to receive power from any electricity
supplier. x Incorporates off-peak charging as the default with the ability to
override if required. x Randomised delay between initiating a charge session
and the charge session actually starting. This is to prevent overloads of the
electricity system if a large number of chargepoints are activated the moment
the off-peak period starts. x Physical and digital protection of data and of
the components used to access that data. x Physical protection of electrical
components within the chargepoint to prevent personal harm and to prevent
accidental or malicious tampering.

EVWM-V01-R5 Installation and Operation Manual October 2023
Product Overview
NOTE: When detailing Load Balancing and Load Management, 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. This
is similar in some ways to Load Management but is NOT the same. Refer to the
next page to read about Load Management.
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.
For example, if the property’s main fuse (or circuit breaker) is rated at 60
Amps, the fuse will operate and cut all power to the property if a draw of 60
Amps is exceeded.
It can be relatively easy to draw significant power if several property
appliances are in use at the same time.
Kettle
13 A
Oven
13 A
Dishwasher 10 A
Iron
13 A
Total =
49 A
In this example, only 11 Amps remain before the 60 Amp limit is reached.
If an electric vehicle is now put on charge and is drawing 16 Amps, the limit
would be exceeded, and the property’s fuse would operate to cut all electrical
power to the property.
With load balancing enabled, the amount of power made available for charging
will, if required, be automatically adjusted to a level that does not exceed
the maximum for the property.
The system will continue to monitor the power and will dynamically increase
and decrease the power made available for charging in response to the demand
for power from the rest of the property.
Rolec chargepoints are pre-configured to load balance with a 13A `buffer’.
This means that whatever the property fuse may be, load balancing will start
13A before its maximum limit is reached.
For example, if the charger is configured by the installer for use with a
property with a 60A fuse, load balancing will start at 47Amps. Similarly, for
a property with an 80A fuse, load balancing will start at 67Amps. This allows
combined use of the charger plus other appliances in normal use with no effect
on the property’s electricity. You can then use up to 13A more, with no risk
of exceeding the maximum limit and load balancing will continue to reduce
charger power if more electricity is used by other appliances.

WallPod Intelligent EV Charging Unit Page 6 of 53
Product Overview
NOTE: Where a Rolec Load Balancing Current Transformer (CT) has been installed
and connected to a load balancing enabled Rolec chargepoint, it will reduce
the supply of power to the vehicle where the combined demand of the property
and vehicle would exceed the power available to the property as a whole.
x Only 1 chargepoint is to be installed per phase to avoid counteracting
behaviour. x Rolec cannot be held responsible for overloads of the supply
caused by other
connected electrical items or failure of the vehicle to accept a reduced rate
of charge.
NOTES:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. The lower the power available for charging, the more slowly the vehicle
will be charged.
About Load Management
This chargepoint is capable of Load Management. This is similar to load
balancing in that the power made available for charging can be dynamically
adjusted to decrease or increase the power available in response to other
demands for power at the property.
The significant differences are that Load Management is:
x controlled by the software application used either within the chargepoint or
via its online connection (or a third-party device/system).
x more often used where there are several chargepoints at the property, and
where, depending on pre-set criteria within the software, the system will
control which chargepoints receive the most power at any given point in time.
About Demand Side Response
Similar in some ways to Load Management, a Demand Side Response (DSR) system
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.
Although the power drawn (and delivered) by the chargepoint can vary, this
does not necessarily protect the property power supply from being overloaded
if the demand of the property and vehicle exceed the power available to the
property as a whole.

Product Overview
About PME (PEN) Protection
The PME device removes the need to install a dedicated earth for the
chargepoint.
In the event of a fault, the system will break all power cable connections
between the chargepoint and the vehicle.
A PME fault is most commonly seen as either, an undervoltage or an overvoltage
entering the chargepoint from the mains supply. Following initial power ON,
the PME device monitors the supply voltage for 5 seconds and determines if the
voltage is within normal operating parameters. If within limits, the PME
device allows the connection of Live, Neutral and Earth to the vehicle and
continues to monitor the supply.
If the voltage goes out of limits (below 207 Volts or above 253 Volts) for a
continuous period of 5 seconds, this could be caused by a PME fault. The PME
device will activate (trip’) and isolate Live, Neutral and Earth to the vehicle. x Undervoltage Following an undervoltage trip, the PME device continues to monitor the supply and if the voltage returns to within limits for a continuous period of 5 seconds, the PME device will automatically reset and restore the Live, Neutral and Earth connections to the vehicle, allowing charging to resume. x Overvoltage An overvoltage condition is potentially more likely to damage the vehicle so, for safety reasons, automatic recovery following an overvoltage is NOT provided and charging cannot resume until a manual reset is performed. Following an overvoltage condition, EV drivers are advised to investigate as far as they can, the reasons for the overvoltage condition and to check their vehicle for correct operation. Occasional overvoltage conditions may simply be caused by fluctuations in the supply but if they are frequent, the cause should be investigated by an appropriately qualified and experienced electrical engineer and/or the electricity supply company. Security Tamper Protection In conjunction with a number of the
Smart’ requirements, it is a requirement
in the United Kingdom that chargepoints of this type, sold after 30 December
2022, have two-levels of anti-tamper protection. If installed…
1. Chargepoints must incorporate a boundary to guard the electrical
components from tampering whilst also providing safety to engineers.
2. The chargepoint must log and issue an alert if there is a breach or an
unsuccessful attempted breach of the boundary.
The purpose of this protection is to:
x Protect people from harm.
x Protect the chargepoint, the charging network and the electricity network
from malicious or accidental damage or abuse.
x Protect the data held on the chargepoint and/or within the associated online
applications.

IMPORTANT: Installers and End Users must read and understand the content of
this manual before installation and/or use of the product.
Installation must only be performed by someone who is properly qualified and
competent to do so in accordance with the current legislation in force in the
geographical location of the installation.
x Advice provided in this manual does NOT override any legislation. x Rolec
Services Ltd cannot accept any responsibility for improper installation or any
problems arising from improper installation.
NOTE: Damage to the equipment, connected systems or to property caused by
improper installation are the responsibility of the installer.
BEFORE Installation
IMPORTANT: Signal Strength Units that use mobile networks to communicate with
a cloud-based back office contain a roaming SIM card that connects to the
strongest signal available. It is assumed that a suitable mobile network
signal has already been verified by the end user/installer prior to
installation.
x Units using mobile networks require a suitable signal of 14 CSQ or better. x
Units using Wi-Fi connectivity require a strong, stable connection. x Rolec
cannot be held responsible or accountable in the event that a unit using a
mobile network or Wi-Fi is installed in a location without adequate network
signal.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage Sensitive Equipment If you will be performing
insulation resistance tests on the power supply cables, it is advised to be
done BEFORE connecting the power cable to the chargepoint. The high voltages
applied during the test may damage sensitive components if tested after the
cable is connected.
1. Establish a suitable site location for the unit that is both secure and
environmentally safe. x Make sure the mounting location meets current
legislation (if applicable). x Where a chargepoint with a tethered cable will
be used, consider where the chargepoint, and the cable and plug holster will
be sited. x Where possible, choose a location that provides some shelter from
extremes of weather. Whilst the chargepoint (and associated equipment) meets
or exceeds the required standards, a sheltered location will provide
additional protection and make the chargepoint more pleasant to use. x If wall
mounting will not be used, prepare the site by installing a mounting post.

Overview
Rolec charge points have been tested for use with our preferred partner Monta
but can be managed by any charging application that properly complies with the
Open Chargepoint Protocol (OCPP) 1.6J. If the Monta service is NOT going to be
used, several other service providers are available within the configuration
application. Whilst these providers have been tested and work with the charge
point, you may need assistance from the chosen provider to establish a working
connection to their network.
NOTE: Compliance with OCPP 1.6J does not guarantee compatibility straight out of the box’. There are many variables within the specification that can influence the features that are available. There is also the option to use service providers that are not listed. Again, you may require assistance from the service provider to complete the configuration and Rolec cannot guarantee that all features will be available. IMPORTANT: Charge point management/operation applications such as that provided by Monta, or any other service provider, are NOT part of the Rolec product and any agreements, contracts or fees related to their services will be between you and your chosen provider. Required Items To connect to the charge point using the EV Connect and Monta applications you will need the following items: 1\. A smart phone with a camera, QR code reader software, and Bluetooth and internet connectivity. 2\. Monta Application available from the Apple or Google App stores (as appropriate to your type of phone). 3\. Monta QR Code label(s) – Most charge points will be supplied with a Monta QR code label(s) already attached. If this is not the case, the label supplied with the charge point should be attached close to the socket to which it applies. 4\. Rolec Charge point ID label This is a removable label attached to a red and black
tag’ that is supplied with the charge point and usually hung on one
of the sockets or attached to the enclosure. x Following Installer
installation and configuration of the charge point, the removeable label may
have been attached to the front of this Manual or to the installation test
report, or to the property’s fuse box/consumer unit. x There is an identical
label attached to the communications board inside the charge point enclosure.

Preparation
To configure the charge point for correct operation, there are important steps
that must be performed by the installer and/or the charge point
owner/operator.
NOTE: The process of configuration for domestic installations is different to
charge points used in a commercial installation. This is an administration
difference, and the model of charge point does not define the type of
installation.
x A commercial installation is usually one that is at a business property. It
does not necessarily mean that the charge point is being used to generate
revenue.
x A domestic installation is usually one that is at a residence/dwelling but
up to 3 charge points used on a commercial site could be regarded as a
domestic installation. If you are not sure about the status of your
installation/site, contact Rolec for clarification.
The note (immediately below) can be ignored if you have completed the Monta
Onboarding Form and have already received a link from Monta prior to
installing the charge point(s). If you are reading this before travelling to
the site, the QR Code shown opposite will take you to the form.
IMPORTANT: Installers who will be connecting commercial charge points to Monta
should phone Rolec (01205 724754) at the start of the process so that
background administration tasks can be performed between Rolec and Monta.
Follow the automated call menu to be put through to the `Monta Onboarding

Operation
NOTE: Default Hours and Randomised Delay Following the initiation of the
charge session, UK regulations require chargepoints of this type to apply
power for charging during the default’ (off-peak) hours regardless of when the charge session was initially started. When the off-peak period is reached, power for charging will be applied after a randomised delay of up to 10 minutes. This is to protect the power network from spikes in demand that would occur if thousands of chargepoints are activated at the same time. If required, charging status may be checked via the smart application. There is the option to override the default setting and charge during the Peak period, but this may result in higher electricity costs or other
conditions’ applied
by the electricity provider.
NOTE: Peak and Off-Peak Charging Hours As set by the UK government: Currently
Peak Hours = 8am 11am and 4pm 10pm on weekdays.
x All hours outside of those shown above are classed as Off-Peak.
End a Charging Session
1. A charging session can be ended by any of the following methods:
x Use the mobile phone application. x Place the RFID card/fob (associated with
the account) onto the card reader. x Remove the cable from the vehicle.
2. Once the cable has been removed from the vehicle…
x Remove the cable from the chargepoint (socket chargepoints only). x Make
sure the socket flap is closed when not in use (socket chargepoints only). x
Store the cable safely and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
NOTE: If the chargepoint has a cable lock facility that permanently secures
the plug into the socket, step 2 can be ignored, and the cable can remain
connected to the chargepoint.
x Cables should be loosely coiled and hung on a cable hanger with the plug
securely inserted into the holster to prevent water ingress.
x Some makes of cable may not be as robust as others. The term `permanent’
means that the cable does not need to be removed after every charge session.
However, cables must be unlocked and removed from the socket on a regular
basis to check for contamination of the contacts. Unplugging and reconnecting
of the plug and socket also helps to ensure a good electrical connection and
relieves any strain on the components.

About Charging Cables and Sockets
The points below apply to Rolec cables and will be similar for cables made by
other manufacturers. Always follow the manufacturer’s advice.
1. Charging cables should be fully uncoiled when in use.
2. Charging cables should not be stretched or place strain on the chargepoint
or vehicle connections.
3. Charging cables should be routed between the chargepoint and the vehicle
so as not to cause an obstruction or trip hazard.
4. Charging cables must NOT be left connected to the chargepoint when not in
use (socket chargepoints only).
5. After use, charging cables should be removed from the vehicle first, and
then removed from the chargepoint (socket chargepoints only).
IMPORTANT: Some chargepoints feature a `semi-permanent’ anti-theft cable
locking device allowing the cable to be left connected at the end of a charge
session. However, some makes of cable are less robust than others and to
prevent damage and ensure a good connection, the cable must be unplugged on a
regular basis, allowing the connectors to be checked for damage or
contamination.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage Socket chargepoints include a cable locking device
(Hatch Lock) to reduce the opportunity of cable theft. The lock is engaged
when the charging session is started and is disengaged when the charging
session is ended. Attempting to remove the cable from the chargepoint before
the session is ended or before disconnecting the cable from vehicle, may cause
the lock to become permanently engaged and prevent removal of the cable.
6. Charging cables should be stored in a dry, undercover location where the
cable and plug cannot be damaged or become contaminated, (socket chargepoints
only).
x If the plugs a are dry, make sure the rubber caps are fitted to prevent
entry of debris.
x If the plugs are wet, allow them to dry before fitting the rubber caps.
7. Tethered cables should be loosely coiled around the chargepoint or on a
cable hanger/holster.
8. Plugs on tethered cables must be plugged into the holster when not in use.
Do NOT be tempted to allow the plug to simply hang free, even if a rubber plug
cap is fitted.
IMPORTANT: Rubber plug caps will not fully protect against the ingress of
water but may prevent water from escape which, over time, may overcome the IP
rating of the plug assembly.
9. Charging socket covers (flaps) should be closed after use.
10. Damage to charging sockets and cables should be inspected by an
appropriately qualified engineer and the chargepoint should be electrically
isolated if damage affects safety.

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. x
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. x Damage caused to the equipment by misuse, lack of
maintenance, inappropriate maintenance or modification is not covered by the
manufacturer warranty.
IMORTANT 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:
x Abrasive materials. x Mineral or petroleum solvents / degreasers. x Hose
pipes, Jet washers or Steam cleaners.
2. Regularly inspect the exterior of the equipment for visual damage.
x 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.
x If the switchgear fails the test, isolate the equipment and prevent its use
until appropriate repairs have been completed.

Maintenance
7. Do NOT allow charging cables to become contaminated with water (or other
substances).
x 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.
x 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.
