Set up
The connection between the charger and energy
manager is established directly from the charger and
in the Web Application of the energy manager.
Establishing a connection to the charger
The
ENERGY MANAGER
indicator light shows the
status of the connection to the PLC network and to
the energy manager.

Ensuring good connection quality of the
PLC network
To ensure a sufficient transmission rate for PLC com-
munication, the following measures should be taken
into account during electrical installation:
e
If a PLC connection is not possible, test the Por-
sche charger in a different wall socket.
e
Keep the distance between consumers with PLC
functionality low. As a test, the connection to the
PLC modem can be made at an electrical socket
near the PLC modem (e.g. in the living room). If
a connection is established here, but does not
subsequently work in the garage, this may be
due to the distance being too great. Please note
the following information on phase assignment.
e
Route the VDSL cable at a distance of at least
10 cm to the power lines and electrical sockets.
e
Preferably establish the PCL connection via the
same current phase.
–
If the charger is connected using a single-
phase plug, the external PLC modem should
be connected to the same phase as the
charger in the case of a multi-phase domes-
tic connection.
–
If the charger is connected using a multi-
phase plug, the external PLC modem should
be connected to phase L1.
e
Check whether other electrical devices are caus-
ing interference. For this purpose, disconnect
other devices from the mains supply and check
the PLC connection. Possible sources of inter-
ference may be, for example, dimmers, halogen
lighting systems, fridges and freezers, switched-
mode power supplies, dryers, washing machines
and electric pumps in operation.
