SAFETY AND OPERATING NOTICES

In case several users operate the Wallbox, the contents of this manual and the safety
notices in particular must under all circumstances be passed on to each individual user.

General safety information

This device represents the current state of technology and fulfils all technical safety
requirements, directives and norms. The safety information provided serves to ensure
the proper operation of the device. Disregard of or actions contrary to the safety infor­mation and instructions contained in this manual and printed on the device may lead
to electric shock, fire and/or severe injury.

The device may only be operated in technically sound condition. Malfunctions that af­fect the safety of persons or the device may only be repaired by authorized or qualified
specialist personnel. In case you require service (see next page), always turn first to
the dealer who supplied the device to you.

Service is required when e.g. the power supply cable or the charging connector are
damaged, when liquids or objects have entered the housing, the device has been
directly exposed to rain, has been dropped, is malfunctioning or has been otherwise
damaged.

Please pay attention to the following points:

• Read this manual carefully.

• Keep this manual in a safe place where all users can always access it.

• Heed all warnings.

• Follow all instructions.

• Do not operate this device in close vicinity to running water.

• Do not install this device near radiators, heat storage devices, stoves or other sourc­es of excessive heat.

• Do not step on the power supply cable, do not kink it and treat plugs and sockets
with special care.

• Only use accessories intended and sold for the device by the manufacturer.

• Do not place containers with liquids on the device, as these may tip over and liquids
may enter the device.

Operating instructions / Maintenance

Please note the following instructions for the operation and maintenance of your eMH1
Wallbox:

• The device must be connected to the protective earth conductor of your electricity
supply.

SAFETY AND OPERATING NOTICES

• Ensure that the rated voltage and rated current of the device comply with the pa­rameters of your local electricity grid and that the rated output is not exceeded dur­ing charging operations.

• At all times comply with local safety regulations for the country in which you operate
the device.

• To disconnect the device completely from the power grid, the power supply must
be cut at your domestic miniature circuit breaker (MCB).

• Follow all information and instructions of the manufacturer for installing
and operating the device.

• Do not operate the device in confined spaces.

• Make sure that the front cover shield is always locked to prevent unauthorized open­ing of the housing. Keep the key in a place that is known to all authorized users.

• You must under no circumstances make any changes to the housing or the internal
wiring of the device: Any disregard of this instruction fundamentally breaches the
guarantee provisions and voids the warranty with immediate effect.

• No parts to be maintained by the user are located inside the device.

• Only have qualified, specialist personnel repair and/or install the device.

WARNING!

This Wallbox is intended for connection to and operation on 230 or 230
/ 400 V 50 Hz mains power only. Power supply cables may be installed
below or above the wall surface. The cable should enter the device on the
underside of the rear part of the housing (see page 10).

• Only use a dry cloth to clean the device. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents,
waxes or solvents (such as cleaning fluid or paint thinner), because they can dull the
displays on the device.

• The Wallbox must never be cleaned using a pressure cleaner or similar implement.

• Check the permanently installed charging cable of your eMH1 Wallbox regularly for
potential abrasions or damage.

DANGER!
Should you discover any damage to the charging cable or a supply cable, you
must take the device out of operation immediately. In this case, please turn
to an authorized service partner or the dealer from whom you purchased
the product. You must not under any circumstances attempt to resolve or
repair any damage or malfunction yourself!

• Relevant local regulations for operating electrical devices always apply.

INTRODUCTION

Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your eMH1 Wallbox by ABL!

With this Wallbox from our “Electric Mobility Home“ series, you have chosen an inno­vative as well as future-proof product that guarantees particularly high operating safety
while featuring extremely compact dimensions.

eMobility helps to save natural resources and protect the environment sustainably.
ABL is, with its eMH1 family of products, a leading supplier in this area. The eMH1
combines progressive and pleasing design with intuitive functionality: According to
their requirements, users may select from models with a variety of features devel­oped for domestic and semi-public applications.

The eMH1 series Wallboxes are constantly developed further and at all times comply
with the regulations and norms for the charging of electric vehicles applicable through­out Europe according to IEC 61851-1, Mode 3.

If you are looking for additional information about your Wallbox or would like to find out
more about available accessories and the remaining ABL product range, please visit

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-

ants of the EVSE5X1 and 5X3 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.

Identifying your product variant

The eMH1 series comprises several model variants, which are mechanically and/or
electrically adapted to different usage profiles. For identification, a product compliance
plate is located at the back of the lockable housing cover shield near the hinge. Please
open the cover shield before taking the device into operation and check the compli­ance plate to ensure that the model variant you have installed is the one described in
this manual.
