Ensure good connection quality of the PLC
network
To ensure a sufficient transmission rate for PLC
communication, the following measures should be
taken into account during electrical installation:
e
If a PLC connection is not possible, check the
Porsche 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 a plug 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 charg-
er in the case of a multi-phase domestic con-
nection.
– 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
causing interference. For this purpose, discon-
nect other devices from the mains supply and
check the PLC connection. Possible sources of
interference might be, for example, dimmers,
halogen lighting systems, fridges and freezers,
switched-mode power supplies, dryers, washing
machines and electric pumps in operation.
Connecting charger to a PLC network
When establishing a connection, the charger and PLC
modem, or in the case of direct PLC communication,
the charger and the energy manager are paired auto-
matically.
b
The charger is ready for operation.
e
Activate the charge status of the energy manager
at the charger. For this purpose, press and hold
the
CHARGE
STATUS
button for 3 seconds to
change the charge status. Repeat this procedure
if necessary in order to change to the desired
charge status
.
The charger automatically attempts to establish a
connection to the PLC network.
– The PLC network is known (Status 1):
No action is necessary. The charger automatically
connects to the PLC network.
– The PLC network is unknown (Status 2):
– Press the pairing button on the PLC modem or
on the energy manager to start establishing
the connection to the charger.
If the
ENERGY
MANGER
indicator light flashes
or pulses white, the charger is integrated in the
PLC network and a connection is established
(Status 3 or 4).
The charger automatically attempts to establish
a connection to the energy manager.
f
Refer to chapter “Connecting the charger to
the energy manager” on page 40.
If no energy manager is available, establishing
a connection to the energy manager fails
(Status 6).
–
Press and hold the

but-
ton for 3 seconds to switch to the desired
charging status (
50 %
or
100 %
).
f
Refer to chapter “Calling up the web applica-
tion of the charger” on page 41.
f
Refer to the operating instructions of the PLC
modem.
Connecting the charger to the energy manager
Establishing a connection at the charger
Once the charger has established a connection to the
PLC network, it attempts to connect to the energy
manager in open mode.
b
Charger has established a PLC connection.
b
The charger and energy manager are located in
the same PLC network.
– The energy manager is known (Status 3):
No action is necessary. The charger automatically
connects to the energy manager.
– The energy manager is unknown (Status 4):
– Add the charger as an EEBus device in the
web application of the energy manager.
If the
