Planning the installation

WARNING! This product shall only be installed, repaired or serviced by an authorised 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 Charging Robot be installed?
•  Is the connected electrical load of the house 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?
• Do you intend to install additional Charging Robots in the future?
•  How is the electrical circuit protected?
• Which installation method is planned to be used?

Pay attention to the following when planning the installation

• 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. This will switch off the current to the electrical vehicle if a residual current of 4-6mA DC and/or 20-30mA AC occurs. The RCD is reset by unplugging the charging cable and plugging it in again. The integrated RCD is automatically tested and calibrated at regular intervals by 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 6).
•  Consider the installation of Easee One Ready backplates if the acquisition of further Charging Robots is planned for 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.

Special notes for Easee One

• 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.
• If the charging infrastructure includes more than one Charging Robot, the Charging Robot that is configured first becomes the master of its circuit.
• If more than 2 units are installed, the master unit should be located in the middle of the installation (if possible) for an optimal Easee Link communication.

Technical notes for Easee One

• 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.
