2. PRODUCT
The charging station is equipped with a 6mA detection
circuit per socket. The charging current is interrupted if a DC
leakage current of 6mA or more is detected. After 5
minutes, the charging current will be switched back on. If
the 6mA DC leakage current is detected again, the station
will interrupt the charging current again.
This protocol is repeated up to 3 times while the charging
transaction remains active, after which the transaction will
be permanently terminated. If the charging cable is
reconnected, the charging station will restart this cycle.

5 CONNECTIVITY
5.1 Administration systems
Your Alfen charging station is an intelligent solution that
is able to communicate with an administration system
over the internet. These systems enable features such as
remote monitoring of the energy consumption of individual
users, remote management of the charging process and
simpliedmaintenanceofyourchargingstation.
If, during the purchase of your charging station, you opted
for additional services with a (back-end) partner or Alfen
ICU B.V. (the ICU EZ services), your charging station has
beenpreconguredwithdefaultfactorysettingsfor
the administration system you selected. The internet
connection is established via GPRS or a UTP (Ethernet)
cable connection. If you opted for a GPRS (SIM card)
connection, your charging station is already equipped
with its SIM card and will automatically connect once
your product is commissioned. If your SIM card holder 12
does not contain a SIM card, please contact your back-end
provider or Alfen.
The following section explains how to connect your
charging station to the internet with GPRS (SIM card) or a
UTP (Ethernet) cable.
5.2 Establishing a connection
5.2.1 Wireless connection
To establish a wireless connection, the charging station
must be equipped with a GPRS-capable SIM card.
Furthermore,correctsettingsmustbeconguredinorder
to connect with the preferred administration system.
Various options (shortcuts) are available for this purpose
in the Service Installer. With these shortcuts, it is easy
to select the preferred system with the corresponding
settings.
REMARK
A connection with an administration system can only be
established if you made arrangements with the supplier
of this system to start your services. Services delivered by
third parties are not part of the scope of delivery of Alfen.
If, during the order process, you opted to use ICU Connect,
the charging station is already equipped with a SIM card.
The Twin will automatically connect with ICU Connect
during the commissioning process.
If you opted for another administration system while
placing your order, it might be required to install the SIM
card yourself. Image 6 shows the location of the SIM card
holder and the Ethernet port.

5.2.2 UTP (Ethernet) connection
Which type of cable is required?
A CAT5 UTP cable is the minimum requirement in order to
be able to connect with the internet. This cable can process
speeds of up to 100 Mbps.
Installation
1. Connect the UTP cable to your router;
2. Turnyourchargingstationobyputtingthemain
switch on the 0-position;
3. Connect the UTP cable with the Ethernet port;
4. Turn your charging station back on by putting the main
switch on the 1-position;
5. To enable communication between your charging
station and ICU EZ over a UTP Ethernet connection,
it may be required to modify your network settings
 ifsecuritysettingsarecongured.Theinformation
required to access ICU EZ over your network is display-
ed below:
•IP address ICU EZ: 93.191.128.6
•Port: 9090
•Inbound/Outbound
It might also be required to specify a MAC address. This is
registered on the inspection report of your charging station.
Please contact Alfen to receive a copy of this report.
REMARK
Ensure that your network settings allow for establishing
a connection to the Alfen servers over a secured FTP con-
nection. This enables the exchange of software updates
and diagnostics.
