Risk of damage or electrocution. A charger must always be installed on separate power circuit.
Risk of damage or electrocution. Local conditions may affect the installation requirements. Your installation must comply with the standards and regulations of the location (country) where it is installed.

CAUTION

Risk of injury and damage. The installer is always responsible for choosing the correct cable diameter and ensuring compliance with relevant standards and regulations.
Risk of injury and damage. The installation and cables must be rated to match the maximum charging current of the charger input, assuming continuous load.

Assembly and installation requirements

Power supply cable
Minimum advised cable cross-section (based on assumed max. 50 m cable length):

3-phase Il kW charging, 16 A selected per phase: 5 x 4 mm*
1-phase 7.4 kW charging, 32 A per phase: 3 x 6 mm:
3-phase 22 kW charging, 32 A per phase: 5 x 6 mm*

RCD requirement

A residual current monitor device is integrated inside the charger.
The charger will stop charging in case residual current exceeding 6mA DC is detected, according to IEC 62955.
The RCD is automatically tested between each charging session.
The integrated RCD has no influence on the function of external protective devices.

An external RCBO is required shown as below.

Input.	Specification	Remark

Installation procedure prerequisites

NOTE

The following text only describes the wall-mounting installation procedure. The NEO can also be mounted on a pedestal. The pedestal is an accessory and the installation instruction is provided within its scope of delivery.
Install the charger upright against the wall and/or on the mounting pedestal. Installations other than this may lead to damage to the charger.
Chargers which are exposed to the elements will gradually age and/or discolor. RAEDIAN recommends to place the chargers in a sheltered environment to optimize the lifetime of the product.
The installation position must be against a solid, vertical wall.
In the surroundings of at least 5 m of the installation position there must be no fire hazard.
The power supply cable must be routed before proceeding with the installation.
The power cabinet must be equipped with at least a Type A RCD according to IEC 61008 or IEC 61009.
The electrical system must be disconnected from every power source before performing any installation work.

Mechanical installation procedure

Take the charger out of the box.
Place the charger on a non-scratching surface to prevent damage.
Check if all parts listed are provided.

SIM card Installation

NOTE
Applicable to RAEDIAN NEO and NEX models that support 4G with a user SIM card (models with-ES).

Two SIM options:

User SIM: Nano SIM, Settable APN user name and password.
eSIM: Integrated, activated by Lifetime Connectivity Key (please contact reseller or distributor).

Installation procedure:
Separate the front cover and charge core of the charger

Remove the card slot cover on the charge core.
Insert User SIM card.
Must !
Peel off the film on the card slot cover and attach the cover to the charge core.
&
Securely install the front cover onto the charge core.

Wall-mounting the backplate

Place the backplate on a clear and solid wall with a bearing capacity of at least 100 kg. Recommended height: 800-1000 mm.
Ensure it is level, and use a pencil to mark the positions for 4 drilling holes.
Drill 4 holes at the marked locations.
Recommended depth and diameter: 50 mm; 68 mm.
Insert 4 plastic anchors into the drilled holes.
Mount the backplate and fasten it using four wall-mounting screws.

Electrical installation procedure

WARNING
At least an external Type A RCD is required to be installed upstream. Ensure the installation complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

Ensure you know whether the charger needs to be installed as a single-phase or three-phase variant.

There are three entries available for input wiring: bottom (recommended), top and rear wiring entry. For the top and rear entry, use an M25 hole saw to create the hole and install the rubber plug over the hole.
Connect the power wires to the terminal block according to the type of equipment (single-phase or three- phase) shown in the figure.

Ethernet Cable Installation
(For CT Kit/sc Kit/EMS)

There are two options available for input wiring: top and rear entry. Use an M25 hole saw to create the hole and install the rubber plug over the hole. (An M25 cable gland is recommended for the top entry.)
NOTE
Recommended reserved cable lengths:
- Top entry – 45 cm;
- Rear entry – 35 cm.
Run the Ethernet cable through the chosen hole and install the RJ45 connector.
Plug in RJ45 port.
Securely clip the charger’s body onto the backplate.

SC Kit Installation

The RJ45 adapter has already been pre-installed on the meter according to the sequence for a Straight-through Ethernet cable. If using a Crossover cable, follow the sequence instructions to install the RJ45 adapter before proceeding with the installation.
Place the meter securely on the DIN rail next to the main circuit breaker.
Connect the incoming terminals of the meter to the main circuit breaker.
Securely attach Cl to Li, either upstream or downstream of the main circuit breaker. Ensure that the arrow on the CT clamp is pointing toward the load, and firmly clamp it until you hear a’click.*
Repeat the same steps for C2 and СТ3 (if present), attaching them to 12 and 13 respectively.
Connect the wallbox to the RJ45 adapter using the Ethernet cable.

Commissioning

Safety instructions before use
Carry out the following safety instructions before commissioning your charger:

Check if the charger is properly connected to the power supply as described in this guide.
Check if the distribution of the power supply is separately protected by an appropriate breaker (automatic or fuse cartridges).
Check if the charger is installed in accordance with this guide.
Check if the casing is closed.
Verify that the charging cable is not twisted and that the cable, plug and casing are not damaged.

Initial start-up

The charger will boot up and run self-diagnostics within a few seconds
The OLED display shows a booting image and indicates the availability with a READY”. The LED stripes on the side of the charger will display a white colour with the falling effect. And the charger is now ready for testing.

Test the charging process

Plug the charging cable into the socket (for socket variant) and press it it firmly.
Plug cable into EV to start charging.
The charger is ready for charging and is waiting for the vehicle to start. The LED stripes will display a green colour with the scrolling effect.
After the vehicle has enabled charging, the OLED display shows real-time charging information like charging current and power. The LED stripes display a cyan colour with the falling and retracting effect.

Verify SC Kit
If SC Kit is connected successfully, the state of SC Kit will be ‘Available. You can check whether the current input voltage is correct. Make sure the CT Clamp is installed with direction corresponding from grid to load

Maintenance

Maintaining the casing of the charger:

Annual cleaning, using water and mild soap.

NOTE
The casing of the charger can be damaged.
Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, high-pressure cleaners, scouring pads or similar.
