SPECIFICATIONS

General criteria for selecting an installation site

The Wallbox has been designed for indoor and outdoor use. It is therefore necessary to ensure the correct installation conditions and protection for the device at the installation site.

Take into account the local electrical installation regulations, fire prevention regulations and accident prevention regulations as well as the rescue routes at the site.

Do not install the Wallbox at locations:

Which are used as escape and rescue routes. Which are inside potentially explosive zones (EX environment). At which the Wallbox is exposed to ammonia or ammonia gases (for example in or near stables). At which the Wallbox may be damaged by falling objects (for example suspended ladders or car tyres). At which the Wallbox is on a direct personnel route and people could stumble over the connected charging cable. At which the Wallbox may be struck by jets of water (for example due to neighbouring manual car wash systems, pressure washers or garden hoses). At which the installation surface does not have sufficient strength to withstand the mechanical

stresses. If possible install the Wallbox so that it is protected from direct rainfall so as to avoid the effects of weather, icing, damage by hailstones or the like.

If possible install the Wallbox so that it is protected from direct sunlight to prevent the charging current being reduced or the charging process being interrupted as a result of excessive temperatures on components of the Wallbox.

Comply with the permitted ambient conditions, see section Technical data. Ensure compliance with national and international installation standards and regulations, for

example IEC 60364-1 and IEC 60364-5-52. Ensure compliance with national regulations (for example the charging column regulation

in Germany) for the implementation of the EU Directive (2014/94/EU) relating to the binding minimum technical specifications for sockets and vehicle couplings for charging electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles in areas accessible to the public. This regulation relates to charging points on public land as well as department store or customer car parks, for example. Charging points on private carports or private garage entrances are not generally publicly accessible charging points in terms of this regulation.

Note

If the device is installed in a location where it is not protected from the weather, for example in an outdoor car park, the charging current will be reduced to 16 A if the temperature exceeds the limit value.

Specifications for the electrical connection

When it is delivered, the Wallbox is set to 10 A.

Make sure that you set the maximum current to suit the installed circuit breaker using the DIP switches, see section DIP switch settings.

Selecting the residual-current-operated circuit breaker

The supply cable must be permanently wired into the existing building installation and comply with the national statutory regulations.

Each Wallbox must be connected using a separate residual-current-operated circuit breaker. No other circuits may be connected to this residual-current-operated circuit breaker.

RCCB at least Type A (30 mA trip current). Additional action has been taken in the device to provide protection in the event of DC fault current (>6 mA DC). In addition, the specifications of the vehicle manufacturer must be observed.

The rated current IN must be selected to suit the circuit breaker and the back-up fuse.

Selecting the circuit breaker

When selecting the circuit breaker, also take the increased ambient temperatures in the control cabinet into consideration. In certain circumstances this may require a reduction in the charging current to increase the system availability.

Set the rated current to suit the model plate details in conjunction with the required charge rating (DIP switch settings for the charging current) and the supply cable.

Selecting the supply cable

When selecting the supply cable, take into account the possible reduction factors and the increased ambient temperatures in the internal connection area of the Wallbox, see the temperature rating of the supply terminals. In certain circumstances this may require an increase in the cable cross-section and an adjustment in the temperature resistance of the supply cable.

Mains isolation device

The Wallbox does not have its own mains switch. The residual-current-operated circuit breaker and/or the circuit breaker in the supply cable are used as a mains isolation device.

INTEGRATION OF EXTERNAL METERS

1 Public mains supply 4 Post-meter fuse 2 Pre-meter fuse (reinforced fuse, SLS switch,

etc.)

3 Mains operator's electricity meter 6 Meter 2 (optional, photovoltaic meter)

Note

This sample circuit diagram provides a system overview and does not contain all the additional equipment required for operating the system safely (circuit breakers, RCCB, etc.). The PV power supply may also take a different form.

5 Domestic connection meter

Domestic connection monitoring (post-meter fuse)

The domestic connection monitoring function charges the car dynamically at any time using the available charging current depending on the other consumers on the domestic connection. This ensures that the domestic connection fuse is not overloaded and a lower charging capacity than possible for the car and the installation does not generally have to be selected.

The Wallbox receives all its current power from the power supply through meter 5. This information in combination with the value for the post-meter fuse 4 defined using the DIP switches enables the Wallbox to control the charging current such that the maximum power consumption never exceeds the post-meter fuse value.

Installation of external meters

The meter can be connected to the Wallbox Plus via RS485 (Modbus).

The installed meters must be connected with the same phase sequence as the Wallbox so that the domestic load calculation can be performed correctly. If the Wallbox has to be connected starting with phase 2 to ensure better division of the phase loads, the meters must also be connected starting with phase 2.

Note

Detailed information on the meter installation is available in the installation instructions provided by the meter manufacturer.

Note

The meter values may undergo a plausibility check after connection using the Wallbox web interface. Information on the Wallbox web interface is provided in the operating manual for the MINI Wallbox in the section headed "Configuration".

Meters with Modbus RTU (RS485) interface

Using this interface it is possible to operate multiple meters from different manufacturers on a single bus. A separate cable is required from the Wallbox to the domestic installation for connection. The advantage compared to network-capable Modbus TCP meters is the fact that it is not dependent on additional infrastructure such as routers. This ensures high operational reliability if the cabling is correct.

A detailed description of the connection of Modbus RTU meters via RS485 is provided in the section

RS485 connection X2.

Note

The permitted fuse value must be set using the DIP switches in the connection area of the Wallbox, see section DIP switch settings.

The current list of supported meters can be found on the BMW Service page for charging products at

https://charging.bmwgroup.com/web/wbdoc/.

DIP switch settings

The use of the domestic connection monitoring function with RS485 meters must be selected using a DIP switch setting and does not come into effect until the Wallbox has been restarted. If no meter 5 is found when the ModBus function has been enabled, the charging current is reduced to 10 A.

No monitoring: DSW1.2 = OFF (default) Monitoring function: DSW1.2 = ON

This reduction is also visualised on the Wallbox status LED. Further information is provided in the Wallbox operating manual.

INSTALLATION

Note

The maximum charging current of the Wallbox on delivery is set to 10 A.

Installation requirements

Follow the local installation regulations. The electrical connection (supply cable) must be prepared. Acclimatisation: If there is a temperature difference of more than 15 °C between transport and the

installation site, the Wallbox must be acclimatised unopened for at least two hours. Opening the Wallbox immediately may result in condensation formation in the interior and

cause damage when the device is switched on. In certain circumstances, damage caused by condensation formation may also not appear until a later date after the installation. Ideally, the Wallbox should be stored for a few hours in advance at the installation site. If this is not possible, the Wallbox should not be stored in low temperatures (< 5 °C) overnight outdoors or in a vehicle.
