Damage to the vehicle during emergency or battery-backup operation

During emergency or battery-backup operation, three-phase loads may be connected to a single-phase utility grid with phase coupling. This can damage the vehicle.

  1. Emergency and battery-backup operation must be clarified with and approved by the vehicle manufacturer in advance.
  2. Ensure that, during phase coupling, only single-phase loads are connected to the battery-backup grid.

Observe the following information about the charging cable

  1. Always pull the charging cable out of the port by the connector, never by the cable itself.
  2. The charging cable must not be mechanically damaged (kinked, pinched, or run over) and the contact area must not make contact with heat sources, dirt, or water.
  3. Never use defective, worn, or dirty charging plugs.
  4. Do not use extension cord sets.
  5. Do not use adapters of any kind.
  6. Follow the information and manuals for your vehicle before using the charging station to charge the vehicle.
  7. Use the protective cap when the charging cable is not in use.
  8. Do not put the charging cable under tension. Do not touch the pin contacts.
  9. Avoid knots in the charging cable.
  10. Unwind the charging cable all the way when charging.
  11. The charging cable is a trip hazard when lying on the ground. Store the charging cable properly or use the cable hanger when the charging process is completed.
  12. The charging cable is a wearing part and must be visually inspected regularly (before each charging process).

Requirements:

  • The AC circuit breaker must be correctly rated and mounted.
    Information: the charging station does not have a dedicated disconnect switch. The miniature circuit breaker in the supply line serves as a disconnect device.

  • The product must be correctly mounted.

  • All cables must be correctly connected.

  • The enclosure lid must be mounted.

Procedure:

  1. If necessary, switch on the supply of the connected signal sources.
    2. 13883507084
  2. Switch on the AC circuit breaker.
    3. 13883507468
  3. Wait until the product is ready for operation. Information: The procedure takes approx. 5 minutes.
  4. The LED is glowing green.

  5. Insert a type 2 charging cable into the terminal provided on the product. The mechanical protection against contact results in a two-step process for inserting into the charging port. The charging cable must overcome two resistance points when inserted so that it is in the correct position. The integrated locking mechanism ensures that the charging cable cannot be pulled out during the charging process and that current flows only when the vehicle is correctly connected to the charging station.
    6. 13883507852
  6. Test the charging station in accordance with IEC 61851 and complete the test report. An example of a test report can be found at Test report.
  7. If the green and red LEDs flash simultaneously during commissioning, operation is stopped because the commissioning procedure has not been (fully) carried out. For the charging station to begin operation, the configuration must be completed.
  8. If the green LED is still flashing, the conditions for activating charging operation are not yet met. As soon as the conditions for charging mode are met, the charging station starts charging and the green LED lights up continuously, depending on the available power level.
  9. If the red LED lights up, an event has occurred. Find out which event has occurred and, if necessary, initiate countermeasures.
  10. Ensure that the charging station is charging properly.

  11. Status "Initialize"

    If the charging station is in "Initialize" status after commissioning, the meter configuration has not been carried out or has been carried out incompletely. Check whether the Sunny Home Manager 2.0 or SMA Energy Meter has been added to the SMA Speedwire device registration. To do this, log in to the user interface and check the settings under Configuration > Device Management. Then check whether the meter configuration for grid-supplied power and feed-in meters has been carried out under Configuration > Meter Configuration.
