Product description

Your eMH1 Wallbox allows you to comfortably and safely charge electric vehicles ac­cording to IEC 61851-1, Mode 3. Switching layout, cable diameters 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. Almost all eMH1 Wallbox
models therefore feature an internal residual current circuit breaker 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 Wallbox 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 vari-

errors that may occur.

12

TAKING INTO OPERATION AND CHARGING PROCEDURE

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 con­tacts, a PE-protective earth conductor as well as two signal­ing contacts (Control Pilot and Proximity Pilot)

The EVSE 5X3, however, in­cludes 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 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.

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).

13

TAKING INTO OPERATION AND CHARGING PROCEDURE

• Ensure that the integrated or external (depending on model variant) FI residual cur-

rent circuit breaker (RCCB) is switched on.

• Ensure that the Wallbox has been installed according to the instructions in this man-

ual: Check especially that there is free access to the Wallbox, 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 is always locked during normal operation.

• Ensure that the charging cable is not twisted and check that cable, connector and

housing do not show any observable damage.

Normal operation

The fixed charging cable leaves the Wallbox on the left lower side of the housing. A
matching compartment for the charging connector is provided on the right side of the
housing: A pin inside the compartment, onto which the connector is hooked, serves
to secure it in place.

DANGER!

Except during charging procedures, the charging connector must always
be properly stored and thereby secured in its compartment: Never leave
the connector lying out in the open or plugged into the vehicle after charg­ing is complete.

You must under no circumstances use excessive force when removing the charging
connector from its compartment or replacing it: If the pin inside the compartment is
damaged or breaks off, the charging connector can no longer be stored properly. In
this case you must under no circumstances continue to operate the Wallbox! Please
contact your local distributor from whom you have purchased the Wallbox.

The fixed charging cable of the EVSE 5X1 / 5X3 is ca. 5 meters in length and thus en­ables a flexible connection with the vehicle. Unless charging, you should always roll
the cable up into a compact shape and store it in a way that prevents it from being
damaged by external mechanical forces. 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 charging cable is not kinked at the
housing outlet 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 Wallbox.
Please contact your local distributor from whom you have purchased the
Wallbox.

TAKING INTO OPERATION AND CHARGING PROCEDURE

Charging procedure

The EVSE 5X1 /5X3 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. Park your vehicle so that the charging socket can be easily reached with the charg-

ing connector: The charging cable must not be under any strain during the charging
procedure!

2. Open the charging socket on the vehicle.

3. Check the two indicator LEDs on the top part of the EVSE 5X1 / 5X3: When the

Wallbox is ready for operation, the green LED indicator will flash briefly every 5
seconds, while the blue LED will be not be illuminated.

4. Remove the charging connector from its compartment

by lifting it slightly by the handle  and pulling it down­ward .

5. Plug the charging connector into the socket completely:

The charging process will only start when the two signal­ing pins in the charging connector will each have sent
feedback regarding a safe connection.

The green LED will be illuminated continuously while the
connection between Wallbox and vehicle is being estab­lished. When the charging procedure begins, the green LED
will be extinguished and the blue LED will be illuminated
continuously. Charging is completed when the blue LED is
flashing.

Removing the EVSE 5X3 charging
connector (illustration is approximate)

PLEASE NOTE:

Should there have been a malfunction during or after the charging pro­cedure, this will be shown by the indicator LEDs. The following chapter
describes how you can identify operational states and errors and which
measures will become necessary.

Now unplug the charging connector from the charging socket on the vehicle and re­place it in the compartment on the housing of the EVSE 5X1 / 5X3 by inserting the plug
into the compartment and slightly lowering the handle.

TAKING INTO OPERATION AND CHARGING PROCEDURE

Taking energy consumption readings (model variants with energy meter)

Various eMH1 model variants feature integrated electricity meters with digital displays
that inform you about the energy consumption of the Wallbox at any time. The en­ergy meter is built into the Wallbox immediately next to the FI residual current circuit
breaker.

To read the energy consumption, proceed as follows:

1. Open the cover shield of the Wallbox using the key supplied.

2. Locate the meter on the left side of the central display window.

3. Read the desired values. The following values can be selected and displayed using

the button located under the digital display:

DISPLAY

Ttotal(kWh) This value represents the total consumption to date.

Tpart.(kWh) This represents partial consumption since the last reset.

2000 Imp/kWh This value flashes according to the power being drawn.

P (kW) This represents the output at the time.

U (V) This represents the voltage at the time.

I (A) This represents the electrical current at the time.

4. After reading the power consumption values required, lock the cover shield of the

eMH1 again.

RESOLVING ERRORS

Resolving errors

Your eMH1 Wallbox is engineered for maximum operational safety and the highest

possible charging reliability. The RCCB and DC fault current detector (depending on
model variant) 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 Wallbox. 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:

flashes

DESCRIPTION

The Wallbox is ready for operation, the vehicle may be connect­ed for charging at any time

The vehicle is connected and has been detected. Next, the
charging procedure will start automatically.

The vehicle is currently being charged

Charging is complete, the Wallbox can be unplugged from the
vehicle

PLEASE NOTE:

The charging procedure is always terminated by the vehicle, not by the
Wallbox. The EVSE 5X1 /5X3 only indicates that you can unplug the charg­ing cable from the vehicle charging socket on the basis of communication
with the vehicle. Should the vehicle not be charged sufficiently at this
point, please contact your service partner for the vehicle.

17

RESOLVING ERRORS

Error messages during operation with the vehicle

Under some circumstances, malfunctions and disruptions may occur that prevent the
proper charging of the vehicle according to IEC 61851.1, Mode 3. The Wallbox detects
possible errors on the part of the vehicle independently and shows them 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

A DC fault current has been detected

The EVSE 5X1 / 5X3 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 Wallbox 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 5X1 / 5X3.

Disruptions to the operation of the wallbox and solutions

For safe operation, depending on model variant, the eMH1 has an integrated DC fault
current detector and/or a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB), which detects re­sidual currents that may occur and disconnects the entire Wallbox from the electricity
supply for your personal protection. The RCCB is located under the lockable cover
shield: This ensures that it can only be operated by authorized users.

18

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.

RESOLVING ERRORS

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:

Should the indicator LEDs be faulty, they
must be replaced. In this case, please con­tact your local distributor.

Remove the recharge plug from the vehicle
and plug it back in: Ensure that the connec­tor sits properly inside the vehicle socket.

Check the vehicle settings and, if neces­sary, reset them (to factory settings).

All errors shown by the indicator LEDs
relate to vehicle-based functions (see page

18). The Wallbox reinitiates the charging
procedure every 30 seconds: Should the
error persist, please contact your service
partner for the vehicle.

Checking the integrated RCCB (only for model variants with RCCB)

To ensure the continuing safe operation of the Wallbox, 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.

19

RESOLVING ERRORS

PLEASE NOTE:

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 Wallbox 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 a centre position (connection to the power supply is interrupted).

4. Switch the circuit breaker completely off (0 position) and then back on by flicking

the pivot lever up into the I position.

5. Lock the cover shield of the Wallbox again.

Danger!

Should the RCCB malfunction during testing, you must not continue
to operate the Wallbox under any circumstances!
Please contact your local distributor from whom you have purchased the
Wallbox.

Taking the device out of operation

If required, you can take your Wallbox temporarily or permanently out of operation. To
deactivate your EVSE 5X1 / 5X3 temporarily, 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.

Now the EVSE 5X1 / 5X3 cannot be used for charging.

To deactivate your Wallbox 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 domes-

tic power distribution box (position 0).

Now the EVSE 5X1 / 5X3 is completely free of electricity and may be demounted if
required.

20

RESOLVING ERRORS

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 Wallbox.

WARNING!

The electrical de-installation of the EVSE 5X1 / 5X3 must always be car­ried out by a qualified electrical contractor.
