USER MANUAL
PC01 AND PC02
METRON EV portable chargers PC01 and PC02 are
designed to charge electric vehicles equipped with
Type 1 charging sockets (USA/Japan/S.Korea
standard) from any standard household outlet (e.g.
Schuko) or industrial socket (e.g. 1 or 3-phase CEE
sockets). Where’s the in-cable “bulky box”? Metron
portable chargers are truly unique because all the
charging station electronics is placed inside Type 1
charging plug itself!
EV PORTABLE CHARGERS
advantage of this design is the fact, that METRON
portable chargers don’t have that heavy in-line “bulky
box” as others do, what makes them lighter, easier to
install/connect and also easier to store in a carrier
case. METRON portable chargers also offer the
possibility to set desired charging current/power by
simply pressing a button.
GET STARTED
First plug the portable charger in the wall outlet.
Immediately signal LED starts blinking: number of
blinks tells you what is the saved power setting (see
the next page). Afterwards LED glows constantly till
AC power is present indicating standby/ready status.
When you plug it into the vehicle Type 1 socket it starts
blinking slowly, which means the vehicle is charging.
When your electric vehicle is fully charged, the LED
glows constantly again.

SETTING THE DESIRED CHARGING CURRENT/POWER
METRON portable chargers allow user to set desired charging current/power, before being plugged in the
electric vehicle Type 1 socket, or even while the vehicle is charging! Procedure is simple:
• press and hold the push button: LED switches off immediately
• after 5 seconds LED starts blinking slowly
• Releasing the push button after a certain number of blinks determines charging
current/power as follows:
Push Button

Number of LED blinks Charging current/power
1 6 A / 1,4 kW
2 8 A / 1,8 kW
3 10 A / 2,3 kW
4 13A / 3,0 kW
5 16A / 3,7 kW
Number of LED blinks Charging current/power
1 6 A / 1,4 kW
2 8 A / 1,8 kW
3 10 A / 2,3 kW
4 13A / 3,0 kW
5 16A / 3,7 kW
6 20A / 4,6 kW
7 25A / 5,8 kW
8 32A / 7,4 kW
New charging current/power setting is stored in the memory and it stays the same (even
after the power supply is not present anymore) until the next setting change is
performed.

1-phase portable charger PC02 can also charge from domestic 1-phase wall socket (Schuko) or
1-phase 16A CEE “camper” socket, if proper adaptor is used. In such case be sure to set
charging current to 16A or less, otherwise you risk damage to the socket or even blown fuset!
The use of portable charger versions without RCD protection is allowed exclusively on the
installations, protected by RCD. Household 16A Schuko wall sockets must be designed for
constant 16A current! In the event the cable has been damaged, the product should be
removed from use immediately!

Portable charger models PC01 and PC02 can have some additional designation next to the number, such as
PC01xyz and PC02xyz, where “x” and “y” and “z” may be any alphanumeric character or blank, representing a
color or wall plug type or lower than standard charging current limit or factory version or any possible future
product differentiations, which do not have an impact on general technical specifications.
WHAT IS RCD AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
RCD is an acronym for Residual Current Device - sometimes it can be called also Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker or
Safety Switch. Its purpose is to prevent you from getting a fatal electric shock, if you touch live part, such as a bare
copper wire under high voltage. RCDs offer a level of personal protection, that ordinary fuses/circuit-breakers
cannot provide. RCD constantly monitors the electric current flowing through one or more circuits which it
protects. If it detects electricity flowing down an unintended path, such as through a person who has touched a
live part, the RCD will switch the circuit off very quickly, significantly reducing the risk of death or serious injury.
LED light
To start charging press “RESET” button on RCD. Green LED should turn on.
