Equalizer with Smart Meter
IMPORTANT:
Read carefully before use. Keep for future reference. When passing on the
product, ensure this guide is also passed on.
Introduction
This manual concerns the two versions of the product: Easee Equalizer
(E02-EQP) and Easee Equalizer HAN (E02-EQ). All instructions apply to both
versions, unless specified otherwise.
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 is used to avoid overload and power interruptions while the electric
vehicle (EV) is being charged.
The product may only be operated with the approved operating parameters and
under the specified environmental conditions (see page 5). Uses other than
those specified here are not permitted.
Operating conditions
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 easee.support. For installation and
operation purposes, a smartphone with internet connection is needed.
Optimal performance
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 chargers 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.
