Commissioning and configuration
Getting started
e
The charger performs a self-test on connection
to the power grid.
Following a successful self-test:
–
The CHARGE STATUS button lights
up white.
–
The charger is set to the same charging
power as the previous charging session. The
50%, 100% or/and
50% light indicator
lights up.
The charger is ready for operation.
Selecting the charge status
Fig. 15 Selecting the charge status
This allows you to select whether the charger should
be limited to maximum 50% or 100% of the availa-
ble charging power. If you have an energy manager,
you can select whether this should set the charging
power.
b The charger is ready for operation.

e
Press and hold the CHARGE STATUS button
for 3 seconds.
The charger switches to a different charge status
(50%, 100%, or energy manager) and the rele-
vant light indicator lights up.
If the energy manager charge status is activated,
the
light indicator lights up yellow and the
50% charge status lights up green. If the energy
manager cuts out during operation, the charger
switches to the 50% charge status.
To enable the charger to be controlled by the energy
manager, it must be connected to the same PLC
network.
g Refer to chapter "Energy manager" on page 20.
Energy manager
The energy manager coordinates the energy consum-
ers and suppliers in the home.
To ensure the energy manager takes over control of
charging, the charger and energy manager must be
connected to one another via a Powerline-Communi-
cation (PLC) network connection. The existing power
grid is used to establish a local network for data
transfer.
Adding an energy manager
The energy manager can be connected to a PLC net-
work in two ways:
–
The energy manager is registered as a client in a
PLC network (application option 3).
–
Direct PLC communication between the charger
and energy manager (DHCP server) (application
option 4).
g Refer to chapter "Possible uses" on page 9.
Connection between the charger and the energy
manager is achieved directly on the charger and in
the Web Application of the energy manager.
Establishing a Connection to the Charger
The
ENERGY MANAGER light indicator displays
the status of the connection to the PLC network and
the energy manager.
