easee EQUALIZER Load Management Device

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.
