INTROduCTION

The eMC2 does not have an integrated charging cable but instead features two charg-
ing sockets according to IEC 62196-2, Type 2. For these charging sockets,
ABL
offers
you two separately available charging cables configured alternatively with Type 2 only
or with mixed (Type 2 to Type 1) charging connectors. The eMC2 is also available with
SCHUKO sockets: You can obtain further information from your distributor.
We place the highest value on user safety in all our products. This is why the
eMC2
charging pole also features, in addition to internal safety switches, residual current cir-
cuit breakers, which, in combination with the protective measures that are part of onsite
electrical installations, offer effective protection from short circuit, electric shock and
other operational hazards. Access to the internal switching devices is controlled via the
flip-out handle at the side of the charging pole so that only authorized users can open
the charging pole.
PLEASE NOTE:
A locking cylinder for the double-cylinder flip-out handle is NOT pre-
installed by the factory. A suitable size 40 or 45 Euro profile half cyl-
inder lock must be obtained from a specialist supplier and installed in
the flip-out handle according to the respective manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. The screws needed for installation are included with the eMC2 .
It is strongly recommended never to operate the eMC2 in a public area
without installing a cylinder lock.
Users are at all times informed about the current status of the charging pole and the
charging status of the connected electric vehicle via the two status lights at the upper
edge of the housing as well as the LEDs for charging login and authorization located
in the central control panel. Should a malfunction occur during operation or login, the
cause is indicated here or by the LEDs above the charging sockets: You can find a list
of possible faults as well as suitable suggestions to resolve them in section “Opera-
tional disruptions and solutions” on page 28.
The sturdy housing of the
eMC2 is prepared for protection rating IP44 and can be
installed on a suitable outdoor installation site using a concrete foundation laid by the
user or separately available from
ABL
. You can find detailed information for assembly
and installation in Chapter “Preparing for installation” from page 13.
Identifying your product variant
The eMC2 series comprises several model variants that differ in terms of charging
sockets and/or charging capacity and therefore suit different applications. A serial plate
for identifying the model variant is located on the inside of the housing cover: Before
installing and taking the charging pole into operation, open the housing cover and
double check the model variant on the serial plate.
