A 1632 eMobility Analyser General description
1 General description
eMobility Analyser is a multi-function, portable, battery or mains powered test adapter intended
for safety and functional testing of EVSE and charging cables for EV’s.
Available functions and features offered by the eMobility Analyser:
Diagnostic test for verification of proper operation of CP circuit;
Simulation of electrical vehicle’s CP and PP circuits;
Simulation of errors on CP circuit and input mains;
Accessible Inputs/ Outputs for connection of safety testers;
Monitoring of communication between charging station and EV;
Bluetooth communication with Metrel safety testers.
1.1 Warnings and notes
In order to maintain the highest level of operator safety while carrying out various tests and
measurements Metrel recommends keeping your eMobility Analyser adapters in good
condition and undamaged. When using the adapter, consider the following general warnings:
The symbol on the test equipment means »Read the Instruction manual with
special care for safe operation«. The symbol requires an action!
If the test equipment is used in a manner not specified in this Instruction manual,
the protection provided by the equipment could be impaired!
Follow the instructions in Instruction manual carefully, otherwise the use of the
test equipment may be dangerous for the operator, the test equipment itself or for
the tested object!
Do not use the test equipment or any of the accessories if any damage is noticed!
The input / output sockets are intended for test purposes only! Do not connect any
other devices except appropriate test equipment.
Do not connect the test equipment to a mains voltage different from the one
defined on the label adjacent to the mains connector, otherwise it may be
damaged.
Use only earthed 1 – phase or 3 – phase mains supply system to power A 1632. PE
must have low impedance to earth!
Some pre-tests that could determine the PE fault on mains are disabled in Mode 2,
to enable operation in IT voltage system. When using Mode 2, this note should be
considered. See chapter 4.2 Operation modes.
All normal safety precautions must be taken in order to avoid risk of electric shock
while working on electrical installations!
Only adequately trained and competent persons may operate the equipment.
Service intervention or adjustment is only allowed to be carried out by competent
authorized personnel!

1.1.1 Markings on the instrument:
Read the Instruction manual with special care to safety operation«. The
symbol requires an action!
Mark on your equipment certifies that it meets requirements of all subjected EU
regulations.
This equipment should be recycled as electronic waste.
This equipment is protected by reinforced insulation.
1.1.2 Notes related to measurement functions
R iso
The resistances in OUTPUT area, between terminals L/L1-PE, L2-PE, L3-PE are ca 100
MΩ and between terminals L/L1-N, L2-N, L3-N, Lx-Ly are ca 200 MΩ. This should be
considered if Riso is measured.
The OUTPUT voltage LED indicators can light on during the insulation test. This has no
particular meaning and has no influence on the measurement.
Diagnostic test (EVSE)
Because of capacitive crosstalk between conductors in the three phase Output adapters
a certain voltage U
Do not use A 1631 Monitor adapter cable for charge currents higher than 32 A.

1.2 Battery and charging of Li-ion battery pack
The A 1632 adapter is powered with rechargeable Li-ion battery pack or with Mains supply.
1.2.1 Battery indication
The ON LED indicates the charge condition of battery.
1.2.2 Charger
The battery is charged whenever the Mains power supply is connected to the A 1632 adapter.
The intelligent charging system assures appropriate protection and maximal life time of the Li-ion
battery. Typical charging time is 4 h and autonomous operation is >18 h.
1.2.3 Li – ion battery pack guidelines
Li–ion rechargeable battery pack requires routine maintenance and care in their use and
handling. In order to achieve the maximum battery life time please consider:
Use:
Do not leave batteries unused for extended periods of time – more than 6 months (self –
discharge).
Do not leave a battery on prolonged charge when not in use.
Storage:
Charge or discharge the adapter’s battery pack to approximately 50% of capacity before
storage.
Charge the adapter’s battery pack to approximately 50% of capacity at least once every
6 months.
Transportation:
Always check all applicable local, national, and international regulations before
transporting a Li – ion battery pack.
