easee Equalizer Optimizing the Power Consumption

IMPORTANT:
Read carefully before use.
Keep for future reference.

Introduction

Intended use
This product is intended for optimizing the power consumption by performing an automatic load balancing between the Easee Charging Robot(s) and the building. It avoids overload and power interruption while charging the electric vehicle (EV). In the event of unstable or nonoperational WiFi, the device has a redundant Easee Link RF™ connection. Easy Link via radio may be limited by walls, concrete, or other obstacles.
The product needs to be paired with a Charging Robot and connected to a supported meter with the cable provided. In order for the Equalizer to work, the smart meter’s communication port in most cases needs to be activated. The Equalizer supports several smart meters. Find a full list of compatible meters at ease. support.
The product may only be operated with the approved operating parameters and under the specified environmental conditions (-20 °C to +50 °C). Do not use the product if it is damaged or does not function properly. Uses other than those specified here are not permitted.

Practical details

Charge faster
The Equalizer makes it possible to charge smarter, safer, and faster if the installation is scaled accordingly. To enable its true potential, the rated value of the charger’s circuit fuse should be as high as possible compared to the main fuse. Even in 1-phase setups, we recommend using a 3-phase cable to future-proof the installation.
