Product description
Your eMH1 charging station allows you to comfortably and safely charge electric ve-
hicles according to IEC 61851-1, Mode 3. Switching layout and charging connectors of
the eMH1 are designed for the shortest possible charging times.
We place the highest value on user safety in all our products. Your eMH1 wall box
therefore features an integrated residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) and/or an inte-
grated 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 cir-
cuit, electric shock and other operational hazards.
The eMH1 charging station 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 de-
vices is controlled through the lockable cover shield – this way you can ensure that the
housing can only be opened by authorized users.
A common characteristic of all eMH1 models is the particularly space-saving housing made from
durable plastic, which effectively protects the internal electric circuits against environmental influ-
ences and unauthorized access. In general, all model variants of the EVSE5X2 series should be
installed and taken into operation by a qualified electrical contractor. Your local distributor will be
happy to arrange specialist installation for you at your desired location.

TAKING INTO OPERATION AND CHARGING PROCEDURE
14
Taking into operation and charging procedure
Your charging station is ready for use immediately after mechanical and electrical in-
stallation have been completed. The EVSE 5X2 features a charging socket according
to IEC 62196-2, Type 2. Accordingly, you will require a (separately available) charging
cable to connect your vehicle. To provide a high level of flexibility, ABL has two differ-
ent cables on offer for this purpose:
PART NUMBER DESCRIPTION MAXIMUM OUTPUT
LAK32A3
Type 2 charging cable for connecting all eMH1
charging stations and vehicles with charging
sockets according to IEC 62196-2, Type 2
22 kW
LAKT2T1
Adapter cable Type 2 to Type 1 for connection to
all eMH1 charging stations with charging sock-
ets according to IEC 62196-2,Type 2, with charg-
ing connector according to IEC 62196-2, Type 1
7.4 kW
The charging socket of the EVSE 5X2 has three current-carrying contacts, a neutral
conductor, 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 charging station.
The charging socket of the EVSE 5X2 has an electromechani-
cal locking mechanism, which secures the charging plug
in place as soon as the charging cable is connected to
the vehicle. As long as the plug of the external charging
cable is not locked into place in the charging socket of
the EVSE 5X2, the charging process cannot be initiated
and no voltage will be applied from the socket to the
charging cable via the current-carrying contacts.
Some model variants come with a built-in DC-moni-
toring 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 re-
sidual current 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 ve-
hicle 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.

TAKING INTO OPERATION AND CHARGING PROCEDURE
15
Safety information for taking the charging station into operation
Before you take your EVSE 5X2 charging station into operation, you must observe the
following safety notices:
• Ensure that the EVSE 5X2 is connected to the domestic power supply according to
the instructions in this manual and the separately available service guide.
• Ensure that the EVSE 5X2 is separately protected in your domestic power distribu-
tion box by a suitable miniature circuit breaker (MCB, C characteristic).
• Ensure that the integrated or onsite (depending on model variant) FI residual current
circuit breaker (RCCB) is switched on.
• Ensure that the EVSE 5X2 has been installed according to the instructions in this
manual: Check especially that there is free access to the charging station, 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 of the EVSE 5X2 is always locked during normal
operation.
• Ensure that the separately available charging cable is not twisted and check that
cable, connector and housing do not show any observable damage.
Normal operation
On the right side of the housing, the EVSE 5X2 is fitted with a charging socket accord-
ing to IEC 62196-2, Type 2 with electromechanical locking function. To protect against
faulty charging as well as possible electric shock, the charging plug is locked in the
charging socket as soon as the charging cable is properly connected to both charg-
ing station and electric vehicle. The lock is released only after the charging process is
complete, when a voltage is no longer applied to the current-carrying contacts of the
socket.
A charging cable (available separately) is required for the charging process itself. The
models available from ABL are listed on page 7 and you can obtain further informa-
tion on the ABL website at
www.abl.de
as well as from your local distributor.
The separately available charging cable for the EVSE 5X2 is 4 approx. meters long to
offer a flexible connection between charging station and vehicle. In practice it is advis-
able to remove the charging cable after each charging process. Should you wish to
store the cable near the charging station, it is recommended that you install the sepa-
rately available wall storage bracket WHEMH10 (see page 7) as well. Now you can
roll the cable up tightly and hang it on the cable hanger of the WHEMH10: This way it
is always close at hand.

TAKING INTO OPERATION AND CHARGING PROCEDURE
16
Although the cable and connector are designed to withstand high mechanical stress-
es, you should not drive your vehicle over the cable and/or the connector. Also ensure
that the cable is not kinked at the charging socket and that there is no excessive strain
on the cable and/or the housing.
DANGER!
Ifthecable,thechargingconnectorand/orthehousinghavesufferedmechan-
ical damage or show visible deformities, you must under no circumstances
continue to operate the charging station.
Please contact your local distributor from whom you have purchased the
charging station.
Charging procedure
The EVSE 5X2 is engineered for the fastest possible charge of your vehicle according
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 discover its
actual value in practice and derive your personal charging routine accordingly.
Please follow the following steps to charge your vehicle:
1. Check the two indicator LEDs on the top part of the EVSE 5X2: When the charging
station is ready for operation, the green LED indicator will flash briefly every 5 sec-
onds, while the blue LED will be not be illuminated.
2. Open the charging socket on the vehicle.
3. Plug the charging connector of the charging cable (Type
2 or Type 1) into the vehicle’s charging socket. The ve-
hicle must be positioned so that you can reach the ve-
hicle socket comfortably. The cable must not be strained
during the charging process.
4. Open the cover of the charging socket on the EVSE 5X2
and plug in the Type 2 charging connector.
The green LED will be illuminated continuously while the connection between charg-
ing station and vehicle is being established. 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 a malfunction occur during or after the charging process, this will
be indicated by the LEDs on top of the housing. The following chapter
describes how you can identify operational states and errors and which
measures will become necessary.
When charging is complete, unplug the cable from the vehicle socket and from the
socket of the charging station and store it for the next charging procedure.
