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

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.

The Equalizer is IP40. This means it has no protection against water. If
placed outside the house, it must be installed inside a cabinet protected from
the weather.
