Installation

This chapter describes how to install the Charger vision.
Table of contents

    Observe allSafety instructions and requirements for the installer.

    Observe theSpecifications for the installation location and the maximum and minimum installation distancesfor the Charger.

    Wall mounting

    Check whether the condition of the wall and the enclosed fastening material are suitable for supporting the product weight of the charger (5 kg) plus the tensile load (charging cable).

    • Mark the drill holes using the drilling template and drill the drill holes
    • Mount the mounting base plate using the fastening material
    Drill holes / wall mounting Mounting base plate
    • Attach the mounting bracket to the charger using self-tapping screws
    • Attach the charger to the mounting base plate and secure with the screws
    Mounting bracket / wall mounting

    Mounting upright (optional)

    The Charger can optionally be mounted on a pedestal.

    The pedestal is not included in the scope of delivery and must be ordered separately from Solarwatt.

    The Charger vision is only compatible with the SOLARWATT Charger vision pedestal. Up to two SOLARWATT Charger vision can be installed on the SOLARWATT Charger vision pedestal.

    A concrete foundation is required to install the pedestal, which must be provided by the customer.

    Network connection (LAN)

    Self-assembled LAN cable:

    • Crimp the RJ45 plug onto the network cable
    • PIN assignment of the network cable type B

    Network connection to Charger:

    • Feed the network cable through the union nut, insert the seal
    • Insert the RJ45 plug into the RJ45 socket
    • Tighten the lock nut and screw it to the charger
    • connect the other end of the network cable to the router
    RJ45 plug / RJ45 socket / union nut and seal

    Note

    The union nut is currently only designed for ready-made patch cables without strain relief on the plug (grommet). Self-assembled plugs with a rigid installation cable and ready-made patch cables with strain relief (grommet) cannot be screwed tightly and watertight to the Charger using the union nut. The next production batch of the Charger will be supplied with a larger union nut, which also fits self-assembled, rigid installation cables and ready-made patch cables with strain relief (grommet). Suitable patch cables without strain relief (grommet) are offered by Solarwatt as accessories.

    Electrical connection

    Three-phase:

    • Strip 75 mm of AC cable and strip 10 mm of insulation
    • Crimp wire end ferrules onto the cables
    Three-phase AC cable
    • Open the side cover to the AC connection area
    • Loosen the cable gland and push the AC cable through it
    • Install the AC cable
    • Tighten the cable gland
    • Close and tighten the side cover
    AC connection / side cover - three-phase
    • Tighten the cable gland (hold the 42 mm lock nut in place)
    • Close and tighten the side cover
    Side cover / cable gland

    Attention

    If the charger is put into operation with the side cover open, a warning signal sounds and the status LED lights up red. The charger is only ready for operation when the side cover is closed.

    Note

    The AC connection terminals are designed for cable cross-sections up to 10 mm². For convenient installation, a cable cross-section of up to 6 mm² is recommended for rigid sheathed cables (NYM). A cross-section of up to 10 mm² can be installed for flexible rubber conduit cables.

    Single-phase:

    • Strip 75 mm of AC cable and strip 10 mm of insulation
    • Crimp wire end ferrules onto the cables
    Single-phase AC cable
    • Open the side cover to the AC connection area
    • Loosen the cable gland and push the AC cable through it
    • Install the AC cable
    • Tighten the cable gland
    • Close and tighten the side cover
    AC connection / side cover - single-phase
    • Tighten the cable gland (hold the 42 mm lock nut in place)
    • Close and tighten the side cover
    AC connection / side cover

    Attention

    If the charger is put into operation with the side cover open, a warning signal sounds and the status LED lights up red. The charger is only ready for operation when the side cover is closed.

    Note

    The AC connection terminals are designed for cable cross-sections up to 10 mm². For convenient installation, a cable cross-section of up to 6 mm² is recommended for rigid sheathed cables (NYM). A cross-section of up to 10 mm² can be installed for flexible rubber conduit cables.

    Load management (optional)

    Dynamic control of the charging power taking into account the house load.

    If the available grid connection power is not sufficient to cover the house load and the maximum power of the Charger, the charging power of the Charger can be regulated via dynamic load management so that a defined maximum current (maximum power) is not exceeded at the grid connection point (house load + charging power).

    Details on how it works and how to install it can be found here:

    External control box (optional)

    § Section 14a EnWG controllable consumption devices

    Only required if the grid operator wants to reduce the charging power directly at the charger (e.g. ripple control receiver) or if no energy management is available.

    Details on how it works and how to install it can be found here.
