Product description
Your eMH1 Wallbox allows you to comfortably and safely charge electric vehicles ac-
cording to IEC 61851-1, Mode 3. Switching layout, cable diameters and charging con-
nectors of the eMH1 are designed for the shortest possible charging times.
We place the highest value on user safety in all our products. Almost all eMH1 Wallbox
models therefore feature an internal residual current circuit breaker and/or an integrat-
ed DC fault current detector (depending on the model variant). In combination with the
protection devices of your electrical infrastructure and the fault current protection of
your electric vehicle, these measures ensure effective protection against short circuit,
electric shock and other operational hazards.
The eMH1 Wallbox is especially easy to operate in day-to-day use: Two LED lights in
the upper part of the housing allow you to check the current operating status at any
time. Should a malfunction occur, you can identify the cause by its specific LED error
code without having to open the housing. Access to the internal switching devices is
controlled through the lockable cover shield – this way you can ensure that the hous-
ing can only be opened by authorized users.
A common characteristic of all eMH1 models is the particularly space-saving hous-
ing made from durable plastic, which effectively protects the internal electric circuits
against environmental influences and unauthorized access. In general, all model vari-

ence of a qualified installer: He or she will be able to assess the proper
functioning of the Wallbox and correct any malfunctions or installation
errors that may occur.

TAKING INTO OPERATION AND CHARGING PROCEDURE
13
Taking into operation and charging procedure
Your Wallbox is ready for use immediately after mechanical and electrical installation
have been completed.The EVSE5X1 is equipped with a fixed
charging cable with a type 1 charging connector to connect
to the vehicle. This connector has two current carrying con-
tacts, a PE-protective earth conductor as well as two signal-
ing contacts (Control Pilot and Proximity Pilot)
The EVSE 5X3, however, in-
cludes a charging cable with
type 2 charging connector:
This connector has three current-carrying contacts, a
PE-protective earth conductor as well as two signaling
contacts (Control Pilot and Proximity Pilot), which ensure
a secure connection and therefore the safe operation of
the Wallbox.
As long as the connector is not locked into place in the
vehicle socket, there will be no feedback response via the signaling contacts of the
charging connector: As a result, charging will not be initiated and the EVSE5X1 / 5X3
will not apply a voltage to the connector’s current-carrying contacts.
Some model variants come with a built-in DC-monitoring unit (DC-RCM): This module
ensures that no DC fault current (DC current > 6 mA) can reach the domestic power
installations and disrupt the proper functioning of the upstream domestic residual cur-
rent circuit breaker (RCCB) during vehicle charging. This circuit breaker is especially
required in cases where your electric vehicle does not provide any DC fault current
protection itself: You can find information about this in the manual for your vehicle and
from the manufacturer or vehicle dealership.
WARNING!
Ensure that your vehicle has internal DC fault current protection: Depend-
ing on the country where you operate the eMH1, charging using the
model variants without integrated DC-RCM may only be permitted with
an external, upstream type B RCCB! Otherwise, all local regulations for
connection to the power supply must be observed.
Safety information for taking the Wallbox into operation
Before you take your EVSE 5X1 / 5X3 Wallbox into operation, you must observe the
following safety notices:
• Ensure that the EVSE 5X1 / 5X3 is connected to the domestic power supply accord-
ing to the instructions in this manual and the separately available service guide.
• Ensure that supply cable is separately protected in your domestic power distribution
box by a suitable miniature circuit breaker (MCB, C characteristic).

TAKING INTO OPERATION AND CHARGING PROCEDURE
14
• Ensure that the integrated or external (depending on model variant) FI residual cur-
rent circuit breaker (RCCB) is switched on.
• Ensure that the Wallbox has been installed according to the instructions in this man-
ual: Check especially that there is free access to the Wallbox, that it is not exposed
to direct sunlight or rain and that the electric vehicle can be connected without any
strain or other encumbrance on the charging cable.
• Ensure that the housing cover shield is always locked during normal operation.
• Ensure that the charging cable is not twisted and check that cable, connector and
housing do not show any observable damage.
Normal operation
The fixed charging cable leaves the Wallbox on the left lower side of the housing. A
matching compartment for the charging connector is provided on the right side of the
housing: A pin inside the compartment, onto which the connector is hooked, serves
to secure it in place.
DANGER!
Except during charging procedures, the charging connector must always
be properly stored and thereby secured in its compartment: Never leave
the connector lying out in the open or plugged into the vehicle after charg-
ing is complete.
You must under no circumstances use excessive force when removing the charging
connector from its compartment or replacing it: If the pin inside the compartment is
damaged or breaks off, the charging connector can no longer be stored properly. In
this case you must under no circumstances continue to operate the Wallbox! Please
contact your local distributor from whom you have purchased the Wallbox.
The fixed charging cable of the EVSE 5X1 / 5X3 is ca. 5 meters in length and thus en-
ables a flexible connection with the vehicle. Unless charging, you should always roll
the cable up into a compact shape and store it in a way that prevents it from being
damaged by external mechanical forces. Although the cable and connector are de-
signed to withstand high mechanical stresses, you should not drive your vehicle over
the cable and/or the connector. Also ensure that the charging cable is not kinked at the
housing outlet and that there is no excessive strain on the cable and/or the housing.
DANGER!
If the cable, the charging connector and/or the housing have suffered
mechanical damage or show visible deformities, you must under no cir-
cumstances continue to operate the Wallbox.
Please contact your local distributor from whom you have purchased the
Wallbox.

TAKING INTO OPERATION AND CHARGING PROCEDURE
15
Charging procedure
The EVSE 5X1 /5X3 is engineered for the fastest possible charge of your vehicle ac-
cording to IEC 61851-1, Mode 3.The actual charging time depends on the battery fitted
to your vehicle as well as on the energy currently remaining in the vehicle. For these
reasons it is not possible to make a reliable prediction of the charging time:You will dis-
cover its actual value in practice and derive your personal charging routine accordingly.
Please follow the following steps to charge your vehicle:
1. Park your vehicle so that the charging socket can be easily reached with the charg-
ing connector: The charging cable must not be under any strain during the charging
procedure!
2. Open the charging socket on the vehicle.
3. Check the two indicator LEDs on the top part of the EVSE 5X1 / 5X3: When the
Wallbox is ready for operation, the green LED indicator will flash briefly every 5
seconds, while the blue LED will be not be illuminated.
4. Remove the charging connector from its compartment
by lifting it slightly by the handle and pulling it down-
ward .
5. Plug the charging connector into the socket completely:
The charging process will only start when the two signal-
ing pins in the charging connector will each have sent
feedback regarding a safe connection.
The green LED will be illuminated continuously while the
connection between Wallbox and vehicle is being estab-
lished. When the charging procedure begins, the green LED
will be extinguished and the blue LED will be illuminated
continuously. Charging is completed when the blue LED is
flashing.
PLEASE NOTE:
Should there have been a malfunction during or after the charging pro-
cedure, this will be shown by the indicator LEDs. The following chapter
describes how you can identify operational states and errors and which

Taking energy consumption readings (model variants with energy meter)
Various eMH1 model variants feature integrated electricity meters with digital displays
that inform you about the energy consumption of the Wallbox at any time. The en-
ergy meter is built into the Wallbox immediately next to the FI residual current circuit
breaker.
To read the energy consumption, proceed as follows:
1. Open the cover shield of the Wallbox using the key supplied.
2. Locate the meter on the left side of the central display window.
3. Read the desired values. The following values can be selected and displayed using
the button located under the digital display:
DISPLAY EXPLANATION
Ttotal(kWh) This value represents the total consumption to date.
Tpart.(kWh) This represents partial consumption since the last reset.
2000 Imp/kWh This value flashes according to the power being drawn.
P(kW) This represents the output at the time.
U(V) This represents the voltage at the time.
I(A) This represents the electrical current at the time.
4. After reading the power consumption values required, lock the cover shield of the
eMH1 again.
