Product description
Your eMH1 charging station allows you to comfortably and safely charge electric vehicles according to IEC 61851-1, Mode 3. Switching layout and charging connectors of
the eMH1 are designed for the shortest possible charging times.
We place the highest value on user safety in all our products. Your eMH1 wall box
therefore features an integrated residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) and/or an integrated DC fault current detector (depending on the model variant). In combination with
the protection devices of your electrical infrastructure and the fault current protection
of your electric vehicle, these measures ensure effective protection against short circuit, electric shock and other operational hazards.
The eMH1 charging station is especially easy to operate in day-to-day use: Two LED
lights in the upper part of the housing allow you to check the current operating status
at any time. Should a malfunction occur, you can identify the cause by its specific LED
error code without having to open the housing. Access to the internal switching devices is controlled through the lockable cover shield – this way you can ensure that the
housing can only be opened by authorized users.
A common characteristic of all eMH1 models is the particularly space-saving housing made from
durable plastic, which effectively protects the internal electric circuits against environmental influences and unauthorized access. In general, all model variants of the EVSE5X2 series should be
installed and taken into operation by a qualified electrical contractor. Your local distributor will be
happy to arrange specialist installation for you at your desired location.

TAKING INTO OPERATION AND CHARGING PROCEDURE
14
Taking into operation and charging procedure
Your charging station is ready for use immediately after mechanical and electrical installation have been completed. The EVSE 5X2 features a charging socket according
to IEC 62196-2, Type 2. Accordingly, you will require a (separately available) charging
cable to connect your vehicle. To provide a high level of flexibility, ABL has two different cables on offer for this purpose:
PART NUMBER DESCRIPTION MAXIMUM OUTPUT
LAK32A3
Type 2 charging cable for connecting all eMH1
charging stations and vehicles with charging
sockets according to IEC 62196-2, Type 2
22
kW
LAKT2T1
Adapter cable Type 2 to Type 1 for connection to
all eMH1 charging stations with charging sockets according to IEC 62196-2, Type 2, with charging connector according to IEC 62196-2, Type 1
7.4 kW
The charging socket of the EVSE 5X2 has three current-carrying contacts, a neutral
conductor, 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 charging station.
The charging socket of the EVSE 5X2 has an electromechanical locking mechanism, which secures the charging plug
in place as soon as the charging cable is connected to
the vehicle. As long as the plug of the external charging
cable is not locked into place in the charging socket of
the EVSE 5X2, the charging process cannot be initiated
and no voltage will be applied from the socket to the
charging cable via the 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 current 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: Depending 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.
Page 19
TAKING INTO OPERATION AND CHARGING PROCEDURE

Safety information for taking the charging station into operation
Before you take your EVSE 5X2 charging station into operation, you must observe the
following safety notices:
• Ensure that the EVSE 5X2 is connected to the domestic power supply according to
the instructions in this manual and the separately available service guide.
• Ensure that the EVSE 5X2 is separately protected in your domestic power distribution box by a suitable miniature circuit breaker (MCB, C characteristic).
• Ensure that the integrated or onsite (depending on model variant) FI residual current
circuit breaker (RCCB) is switched on.
• Ensure that the EVSE 5X2 has been installed according to the instructions in this
manual: Check especially that there is free access to the charging station, that it is
not exposed to direct sunlight or rain and that the electric vehicle can be connected
without any strain or other encumbrance on the charging cable.
• Ensure that the housing cover shield of the EVSE 5X2 is always locked during normal
operation.
• Ensure that the separately available charging cable is not twisted and check that
cable, connector and housing do not show any observable damage.
Normal operation
On the right side of the housing, the EVSE 5X2 is fitted with a charging socket according to IEC 62196-2, Type 2 with electromechanical locking function. To protect against
faulty charging as well as possible electric shock, the charging plug is locked in the
charging socket as soon as the charging cable is properly connected to both charging station and electric vehicle. The lock is released only after the charging process is
complete, when a voltage is no longer applied to the current-carrying contacts of the
socket.
A charging cable (available separately) is required for the charging process itself. The
models available from ABL are listed on page 7 and you can obtain further information on the ABL website at
www.abl.de
as well as from your local distributor.
The separately available charging cable for the EVSE 5X2 is 4 approx. meters long to
offer a flexible connection between charging station and vehicle. In practice it is advisable to remove the charging cable after each charging process. Should you wish to
store the cable near the charging station, it is recommended that you install the separately available wall storage bracket WHEMH10 (see page 7) as well. Now you can
roll the cable up tightly and hang it on the cable hanger of the WHEMH10: This way it
is always close at hand.
Page 20
TAKING INTO OPERATION AND CHARGING PROCEDURE
16
Although the cable and connector are designed to withstand high mechanical stresses, you should not drive your vehicle over the cable and/or the connector. Also ensure
that the cable is not kinked at the charging socket and that there is no excessive strain
on the cable and/or the housing.
DANGER!
If the cable, the charging connector and/or the housing have suffered mechanical damage or show visible deformities, you must under no circumstances
continue to operate the charging station.
Please contact your local distributor from whom you have purchased the
charging station.
Charging procedure
The EVSE 5X2 is engineered for the fastest possible charge of your vehicle according
to IEC 61851-1, Mode 3. The actual charging time depends on the battery fitted to your
vehicle as well as on the energy currently remaining in the vehicle. For these reasons
it is not possible to make a reliable prediction of the charging time: You will discover its
actual value in practice and derive your personal charging routine accordingly.
Please follow the following steps to charge your vehicle:
1. Check the two indicator LEDs on the top part of the EVSE 5X2: When the charging
station is ready for operation, the green LED indicator will flash briefly every 5 seconds, while the blue LED will be not be illuminated.
2. Open the charging socket on the vehicle.
3. Plug the charging connector of the charging cable (Type
2 or Type 1) into the vehicle’s charging socket. The vehicle must be positioned so that you can reach the vehicle socket comfortably. The cable must not be strained
during the charging process.

Resolving errors
Your eMH1 charging station is engineered for maximum operational safety and the
highest possible charging reliability. The RCCB and DC fault current detector (depending on model variant) will recognize all internal malfunctions and switch the device off
immediately.
Should a malfunction occur in practice, this is shown by
the indicator LEDs on the upper part of the housing as
an error code. The following chapter describes how you
recognize operating states as well as error codes and
which measures you must take to resolve them.
Operating states
The two indicator LEDs on the left above the front cover shield show the current operating status of the eMH1 charging station. To indicate certain operating states, the
LEDs may...
...be illuminated (continuous ON)
...flash
... be extinguished (continuous OFF).
During normal operation, the following operating states are shown:
DESCRIPTION

Error messages during operation with the vehicle
In some circumstances, malfunctions and disruptions may occur that prevent the
proper charging of the vehicle according to IEC 61851.1, Mode 3. The EVSE 5X2 detects possible errors on the part of the vehicle independently and shows them as error
codes using the indicator LEDs.
To represent certain errors, the indicator LEDs will flash in a specific, repeating pattern.
The following error codes are displayed:
LED-SEQUENCE (FLASHING) ERROR DESCRIPTION
The vehicle makes an unauthorized demand on the
charging procedure
Communication with the vehicle is disrupted
The rated current of the charging cable is not recognized.
• The locking mechanism of the charging socket is
faulty.
• A DC fault current (> 6 mA) has been detected.
The EVSE 5X2 reinitiates the charging procedure every 30 seconds, checking communications with the vehicle. If the error recurs, the indicator LEDs continue to show the
error code. No charging occurs in this operating state.
WARNING!
If the charging station continues to show error messages during operation with the vehicle, please always contact your service partner for the
vehicle. It is possible that maintenance must be carried out before the
vehicle can be charged again using the EVSE 5X2.
Disruptions to the operation of the charging station and solutions
For safe operation, the eMH1 has, depending on the model variant, an integrated DC
fault current detector and/or a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB), which detects
residual currents that may occur and for your personal protection disconnects the
entire charging station from the electricity supply. The RCCB is located under the lockable cover shield: This ensures that it can only be operated by authorized users.
Page 23
RESOLVING ERRORS
19
PLEASE NOTE:
All EVSE model variants must be protected during operation either
by an integrated or external RCCB.
Depending on the country, for model variants without DC fault current
detection, an external type B RCCB must be set aside in the domestic
power distribution box.
To take suitable measures and restore operation in case of malfunction, you must first
clearly identify the type of error.
The following errors may occur:
TYPE OF ERROR POSSIBLE CAUSE SUGGESTED SOLUTION
LEDs are not
functioning.
The EVSE 5X2 does not
have a power supply.
The power supply of the EVSE 5X2 is
interrupted within the domestic electrical infrastructure: Check the upstream
circuit breaker in the domestic power
distribution box.
The internal or the external upstream
RCCB of the EVSE 5X2 has been
tripped: Check the status of the RCCB
and, if necessary, switch it back on using
the pivot lever .
The indicator LEDs
of the EVSE 5X2 are
faulty.
Should the indicator LEDs of the EVSE
5X2 be faulty, they must be replaced.
In this case, please contact your local
distributor.
The electric
vehicle is not

PLEASE NOTE:
Should there be a fault in the power supply that you cannot resolve
yourself, please contact a qualified electrical contractor.
Should there be a fault in relation to the internal RCCB (all model variants
except EVSE 552 and EVSE 562), please contact the local distributor from
whom you have purchased the charging station.
Checking the integrated RCCB (only for model variants with RCCB)
To ensure the continuing safe operation of the charging station, you must check the
function of the integrated residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) yourself every 6
months: The RCCB has a button with which to initiate the test function.
PLEASE NOTE:
In addition, the internal DC fault current detector (if present) conducts a
self-test before each charging procedure: In case of an error, the respective error sequence will be shown (see page 18).
Proceed as follows to test the RCCB:
1. Open the cover shield of the charging station using the key supplied.
2. Locate the button engraved T or marked Test.
3. Press the button: The RCCB should now trip and flick the pivot lever of the RCCB
into the 0 position (connection to the power supply is interrupted).
4. Switch the circuit breaker back on by flicking the pivot lever up into the I position.
5. Lock the cover shield of the charging station again.
Danger!
Should the RCCB malfunction during testing, you must not continue to operate the charging station under any circumstances!
Please contact your local distributor from whom you have purchased the
charging station.
Taking the device out of operation
If required, you can take your charging station temporarily or permanently out of operation. To deactivate your EVSE 5X2 temporarily, please proceed as follows:

3. Lock the cover shield again.
4. Now the EVSE5X2 cannot be used for charging.
PLEASE NOTE:
The EVSE 552 model variant has, in place of the integrated RCCB, a
switch that you can flick to position 0 to interrupt the Control-Pilot signal to the charging socket and thereby prevent detection of the electric
vehicle. Flick the switch to position I to restore communication between
charging station and vehicle via the CPsignal.
To deactivate your charging station permanently, please proceed as follows:
1. Open the cover shield using the key supplied.
2. Flick the pivot lever of the internal RCCB (if present) into the 0 position (connection
to the power supply is interrupted).
3. Lock the cover shield again.
4. In addition, switch off the miniature circuit breaker (MCB) in your upstream domestic power distribution box (position 0).
5. Now the EVSE 5X2 is completely free of electricity and may be demounted if required.
PLEASE NOTE:
For model variants without RCCB, you must switch off the upstream
MCB in your domestic power distribution box to temporarily or permanently deactivate the charging station.
WARNING!
The electrical de-installation of the EVSE 5X2 must always be carried out
by a qualified electrical contractor.
