2.1 Short description
The EVSE (Terra AC) is an AC charging station that you can use to supply
electricity to an EV. The Terra AC offers tailor-made, intelligent and network
charging solutions for your company or home. The EVSE can connect to the
internet via GSM, WiFi or LAN.
2.2 Intended use
The EVSE is intended for the AC charging of EVs. The EVSE is intended for
indoor or outdoor use.
The technical data of the EVSE must comply with the properties of the
electrical grid, the ambient conditions and the EV. Refer to chapter 11.
Only use the EVSE with accessories that the manufacturer provides or that
obey the local rules.
The EVSE AC input is intended for a hardwired installation that complies
with the applicable national regulations.
Danger:
General risk
1If you use the EVSE in any other way than described in the
related documents, you can cause death, injury and damage
to property.
2Use the EVSE only as intended.

2.6.3 3G/4G Communication
You can connect to a 3G/4G network.
2.6.4 Load management
Load management makes sure that the available capacity of the building or
home is not exceeded. A number of devices share a grid connection, that has
a maximum capacity. The total power demand of the devices that use the grid
connection must not exceed the grid capacity.
The load management feature prevents that the system exceeds the grid
capacity and prevents damage of the fuses. At times when the current
demand is high, the EVSE decreases the output of current. The current will
increase again when there is availability on the grid.
Also, the load management feature makes sure that the available load is
optimally shared.
