5. Physical installation

5.1 General

This procedure describes the required steps for the physical installation of EVBox Smart 

Charging.

WARNING: For safety purposes, it is necessary to power off the installation before 

proceeding with the physical installation. 

5.2 Install components

Note:

 These instructions are applicable for both single phase and three phase installations.

Note:

 Do not switch on the power to the Power Box before all physical components are installed 

and Smart Charging is connected to the EV charging station. All component must be installed 

so the the Wi-Fi Connect or Genius unit can detect the components. Alternatively, you can 

reboot the installation after completing the physical installation but before setting up the Wi-Fi 

connection.

1

  Install the Power Box on the same electrical group as the charging station.

2

  Connect the power cable according to the connection diagram, see next pages.

3

  Install the Wi-Fi Connect or Genius unit.

4

  Mount the current transformers (CT) on the power cables. The arrow shown on the CT 

        (K > L) has to point in the direction of the current flow.

5

  Connect the CTs to their corresponding CT Hub.

6

  Make the following connections:

a. The first CT hub to Port A of the Power Box using the supplied Bus cable.

b. Connect all the CT hubs with the supplied Bus cable or a custom twisted-pair RJ10 cable.

c. Plug the supplied bus termination plug in the free port of the last CT Hub.

d. Connect Port B of the Power Box to Port B of the Wi-Fi Connect or Genius unit using the 

(longest) supplied bus cable or a custom twisted-pair RJ10 cable.

Note:

 DO NOT switch on the power at this time.
