easee One Ready Backplate and Blind Cover

Introduction

The product includes a backplate and a blind cover. By installing it you can extend your charging infrastructure at any time in the future. This is easily done with the Easee One Plug & Play product by mounting the new Chargeberry in the empty Easee One Ready backplate without the need of an electrician.

Intended use
This product is intended solely as a prepared charging point for an Easee One Charging Robots. Easee One is specifically intended for 1-phase installations in the UK fulfilling. The additional security requirements for detection of missing PEN conductor according to BS 7671:2018/ A1:2020 when wired as a TN-S-C system (see page 10). The product must be firmly mounted on a wall or structure that covers the entire backside of the product and has a sufficient load-bearing capacity. It may only be operated with the approved operating parameters and under the specified environmental conditions (see page 4).
Uses other than those specified here are not permitted.

Planning the installation

WARNING
This product shall only be installed, repaired or serviced by an authorized electrician. All applicable local, regional and national regulations for electrical installations must be respected.Prior to the installation, it is recommended that you consider future charging needs, so that you can easily expand accordingly in the future.
If several Charging Robots are connected to the same circuit, the total current is dynamically distributed between them. The connected Charging Robots communicate wirelessly between themselves, ensuring that the specified total current of the charging infrastructure is not exceeded. The maximum charging current is set during configuration.
Check the following before starting the installation

•  Where should the Easee One Ready be installed?
•  Is the connected electrical load of the building sufficient or does it need to be increased? Does a new cable have to be laid? (An external approval may be required). Should the incoming supply cable be upgraded?
•  How is the electrical circuit protected?
•  Which installation method is planned to be used?
• The correct selection of the grounding/earthing system, conductors and protective measures (basic protection/ fault protection).
• The correct insulation of touchable and conductive parts.— Sufficient dimensioning of cables.
•  The selection of the overcurrent and overvoltage protection.
•  The correct calculation of the short-circuit current, as well as a, short-circuit proof installation method.

Residual Current Device (RCD)
A Residual Current Device (RCD), according to EN 61008-1 and IEC 62955, is integrated in the Charging Robot. The integrated RCD has no influence on the function of external protective devices. If a Class II installation is supplying the Charging Robot(s), an RCD device is not required to protect Easee One. The decision to install an RCD upstream of the Easee One should be take in accordance with local wiring regulations. For an optimal result, we recommend that you do the following

•  If possible, use the largest approved cable cross-section  (see page 4).

• Easee One is specifically designed to comply with clause 722.411.4.1 of BS 7671:2018 A1. It includes a protection mechanism to completely disconnect the vehicle in case an indication of a broken PEN conductor is detected.

•  Several backplates can be connected in parallel, as each Charging Robot has its own protective device.— The Charging Robots can handle a maximum short-circuit current (Ipk, max) of 10 kA. When surveying the installation, it must be checked whether further protection should be provided.

• The circuit with one or more Charging Robots can be
  fused up to 40 A as long as the maximum short-circuit current (Ipk, max) of 10 kA is not exceeded.

•  A maximum of 3 Charging Robots on the same circuit is supported with Easee One.

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 diagrams below you can see what charging effect you can achieve in your installation and situation. The table is only meant as a guide.

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

Installation instructions

WARNING
This product shall only be installed, repaired or serviced by an authorized electrician. All applicable local, regional and national regulations for electrical installations must be respected.

WARNING
Turn off the power before you begin the wiring. Use extreme caution and follow instructions carefully.

Opening

WARNING
Be sure to read the safety instructions (page 5) of this product before you start the installation.

1.  Unscrew the locking screw at the bottom of the Easee One Ready.
2.  Insert the two ends of the included tool into the two openings at the bottom of the Easee One Ready cover.
3.  Pull until the cover comes loose.
4.  Lift the cover from the bottom and upwards.

Mounting

1.  Fix the backplate to a wall or structure with sufficient load-bearing capacity using the 4 screws provided in the mounting kit. Use suitable wall plugs for mounting and observe the recommended installation height (see below).
2.  Turn off the power before proceeding with the installation.

NOTICE
If you are going to install multiple backplates, now would be a good time to mount them as well.

NOTICE!
The Easy One backplate is only compatible with Easee One Charging Robots.

IMPORTANT
The installation wall must cover the entire back of the product.

Preparing

1.  Shorten the sealing plug to fit the cable. The hole should be slightly smaller 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 blind sealing plugs supplied.

Wiring

1.  Strip the individual wires by 12 mm. If the cable has flexible conductors, it is recommended to use ferrules on stranded wires. Use correct tools to press them.
2.  Tighten the screws with a torque of 5 Nm.

NOTICE
When connecting multiple backplates in parallel, each terminal serves as a coupling point for adjacent backplates. External junction boxes or flat cables can be used if it is preferred.

NOTICE
It’s recommended to follow the existing colour codes used in the installation. Depending on national standards, the colours of the cables can vary from the illustrations. The illustrations in this manual follow the IEC 60446 standard.

NOTICE
Protection against a broken PEN conductor fault is only active when wired according to the TN-C-S diagram.

NOTICE
Never connect Earth to both the PE and PEN terminal.

NOTICE
Before turning on the power, make sure the wires are properly connected and tightened. Test this by pulling on each wire.

Maintenance

General maintenance
If the product is installed in public spaces and is accessible to everyone, observe local and national requirements (e.g. BS 7671) in addition to the procedures below.

Cleaning
The product does not require cleaning to operate properly. Nevertheless, if the product needs to be cleaned for cosmetic reasons, this is possible.

•  Use a damp cloth and an all-purpose household cleaner. Avoid using strong chemicals that contain oil or alcohol, as this will discolor the plastic.
•  Do not use running water or high-pressure water jets. Insulation testing (authorized electrician only) Insulation testing should be performed before a Chargeberry is installed in the backplate. Testing the circuit insulation with the Chargeberry installed in the backplate may damage the electronics or impact the reading negatively.
