3�- DEVICE INSTALLATION

3.1.- HAZARD PREVENTION

A safe working environment is not always enough to avoid all potential electrical hazards. Maximum safety precautions must always be taken. Safety rules help prevent oneself and others from occupational injuries and death:

1�- Never touch energised circuits.

2�- Disconnect the power supply before handling or repairing electrical device. This is the only way to be safe.

3�- Use only tools and devices with non-conductive handles when working with electrical devic-es. Easy to verify.

4�- Never use metal pencils or rulers, or metal rings or bracelets when working with electrical device. This rule is very easy to forget, especially when one wants to show an electrical part by pointing at it with a metal pencil.

5�- When handling plugged-in device, make sure your hands are dry, and, wherever possible, wear non-conductive gloves, protective clothing, and shoes with insulated soles.

6�- If it is safe to do so, work with only one hand, keeping the other hand by your side or in your pocket, away from all conductive elements. These precautions, by reducing the likelihood of the electric current passing through the chest cavity, help to minimise the risk of serious accidents.

7�- Lock out all electrical contacts and conductors to prevent anyone being accidentally ex-posed to the electrical current.

8�- Never handle electrical equipment with wet hands, feet or body, when sweating or standing on wet ground.

3.2.- PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS

Carefully read all instructions before starting, in order to ensure correct installation and start-up of the charging point.

The device is designed for installation in indoor and outdoor areas. Whatever is the case, the device must be installed safely and with the adequate electrical protections.

In order to use the device safely, it is essential that the individuals who handle it follow the safety measures set out in the standards of the country where it is being used.

The eHome must not be installed in areas where there is a potential risk of explosions.

4.4.- OPERATING ERROR DETECTION

The eHome is capable to detect the following operating errors:

Ventilation required error. Pilot error. Proximity error. Negative PWM error Maximum output current DIP switch error. Temperature error.

Whatever the error case is, the unit will stop charging and technical assistance will be required, except from the temperature error. In this last case, the unit starts charging when the operating temperature is reached again.

In the Table 15 it will be explained how the eHome shows the above mentioned errors and the actions taken by the device.

Table 15: Operating errors�

Error LEDs barVentilation required error In some old EVs, this state means that there are some gases com-ing out from the batteries. So, an external ventilation in the car park might be required.Since the device does not generate any type of ventilation, it may not be used to charge a vehicle requiring such ventilation.

Red, 1 blink sequence

Pilot pin error

When the device is connected to the EV, a Pilot short-circuit to eath may occur.Check that the cable is properly connected and not damaged. If the error persists, change the cable.


Proximity pin error When the device is connected to the EV, a Proximity short-circuit to earth may occur.Check that the cable is properly connected and not damaged. If the error persists, change the cable.


Negative PWM voltage errorWhen the device is connected to the EV, the PWM signal, used to communicate the device with the EV, can be negative.Disconnect the cable and wait until the LED bar turns back to green and re-test. If the error persists, please contact the technical service. Red, 4 blink

sequenceDPI switch current limiter errorIf this on board current limit selection is not setup according to the hardware features, the device detects it and shows this error.Check the configuration of the DPI switch.

4.5.- CURRENT LIMIT SELECTOR

There is an onboard rotative DIP switch to configure the limit current of the device.This switch has to be set according to the eHome model to be installed and maximum connection current for that particular device.

Be sure that the position of the current limit selector is setup according to the output current of your device.

4.6.- REMOTE CONTROL INPUT

The eHome series offer the possibility of enabling the charging process by connecting an ex-ternal free-of-potential contact to a dedicated on-board input between pins 4 and 5 (see below Figure 37).

Figure 37:Remote control input�

This way, when the contact START is closed, if the EV is connected to the device, it will start the recharge straight away. This potential-free contact is closed by default by means of a jumper in the electronic plate (Fi-gure 38). The jumper must be removed to use this function.

Figure 38:Jumper�

Do not remove the jumper if this function is not being used, otherwise charging will no longer be possible.

4.7.- RESIDUAL CURRENT (eHome TxC32-A, - B, -A MID models)

Note: Residual current is only available on models: eHome T1C32-A, T1C32-B, T1C32-A MID, T2C32-A, T2C32-B y T2C32-A MID.

4�7�1�- RESET THE RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE

The Residual-Current Device (RCD) installed in the different eHome models must be reset in case of actuation.

To reset the Residual-Current Device (RCD), previously, it is needed to check the possible electrical risk for the user.

1�- Beware the eHome is disconnected to the power line. And similarly, the unit must be discon-nected by the Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) of the power line.

2�- Beware the Vehicle is not connected to the device.

3�- Check the status of the cable and the plug of the device.

4�- Check the plug, not being in contact with wet surface of directly with water.

5�- After checking the possible damages of the cable and the plug of the device with its possible contact with water. It is necessary to check that the cable and the plug have no suffered any damage of overcurrent.

During the RCD reset operations, it must be checked the properly status of the cable and plug, not being dirty or damaged, and likewise, not having wet sur-faces close to the device.

6�- After the properly checked of the previous points, it is possible to make the reset in the RCD

Figure 39: RCD type A and RCD type B

Note: Once it has been made the properly checked of the points exposed before, and it is not possible to reset the RCD. It will be necessary to disconnect the unit and call for a correct trained, qualified and authorized technician.

4�7�2�- MAINTENANCE OF RESIDUAL-CURRENT DEVICE (RCD)

For the properly performance of the RCD in the different models of eHome, the RCD must be checked once a month.

For making this operation, it is necessary to push the Test button (indicated as a “T” in the same RCD). By this way, it will be feasible to see if the RCD is working properly.

Figure 40: Test button in the RCD�

If there is no any action by the RCD after pressing the button, the RCD is NOT working properly, and in consequence it is necessary to replace the RCD.

4�7�3�- ENERGY METER

The energy meter counts the total energy consumed incrementally from the point of commis-sioning. Therefore, it shows the value during the total lifetime of the meter.

4.8.- CirBEON (Optional)

The CirBEON is an optional device that can optimize the Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger. The device analyses the total current in the installation and controls the remaining current for the EV charge, thus avoiding any potential tripping of the protection systems due to over-consumption in the installation.Bear in mind that there must be a minimum of 6 amps for the consumption of the installation; otherwise, charging may stop.

For installation, connection and further information about CirBEON, please consult the device’s manual.

The CirBEON device is only available for single-phase charging devices

4�8�1�- LEDs BAR STATUS CONSIDERATION

All LEDs on the status bar will go from off to a soft blue light when the charging station does not have enough current to charge the EV. The process is automatically resumed when the required current is restored.
