Taking into operation and charging procedure
Your Wallbox is ready for use immediately after mechanical and electrical installation
have been completed. The EVSE5X1 is equipped with a fixed
charging cable with a type 1 charging connector to connect
to the vehicle. This connector has two current carrying con-
tacts, a PE-protective earth conductor as well as two signal-
ing contacts (Control Pilot and Proximity Pilot)
The EVSE 5X3, however, in-
cludes a charging cable with
type 2 charging connector:
This connector has three current-carrying contacts, a
PE-protective earth conductor as well as two signaling
contacts (Control Pilot and Proximity Pilot), which ensure
a secure connection and therefore the safe operation of
the Wallbox.
As long as the connector is not locked into place in the
vehicle socket, there will be no feedback response via the signaling contacts of the
charging connector: As a result, charging will not be initiated and the EVSE5X1 / 5X3
will not apply a voltage to the connector’s current-carrying contacts.
Some model variants come with a built-in DC-monitoring unit (DC-RCM): This module
ensures that no DC fault current (DC current > 6 mA) can reach the domestic power
installations and disrupt the proper functioning of the upstream domestic residual cur-
rent circuit breaker (RCCB) during vehicle charging. This circuit breaker is especially
required in cases where your electric vehicle does not provide any DC fault current
protection itself: You can find information about this in the manual for your vehicle and
from the manufacturer or vehicle dealership.
WARNING!
Ensure that your vehicle has internal DC fault current protection: Depend-
ing on the country where you operate the eMH1, charging using the
model variants without integrated DC-RCM may only be permitted with
an external, upstream type B RCCB! Otherwise, all local regulations for
connection to the power supply must be observed.
Safety information for taking the Wallbox into operation
Before you take your EVSE 5X1 / 5X3 Wallbox into operation, you must observe the
following safety notices:
• Ensure that the EVSE 5X1 / 5X3 is connected to the domestic power supply accord-
ing to the instructions in this manual and the separately available service guide.
• Ensure that supply cable is separately protected in your domestic power distribution
box by a suitable miniature circuit breaker (MCB, C characteristic).
