About Halo
Halo is compatible with all rechargeable electric vehicles. Halo comes with a type 2 charging
connector but can easily be configured for type 1 cars through exchange of the charging cable
(accessory).

standards. The enclosure is made of recycled aluminium, and the product meets the requirements of
enclosure rating IP 66 when properly installed.
Contact your supplier for more information about your specific Halo.

Before installation
Make sure that the right conditions and materials are in place before installation. The installation must
be done in accordance with the instructions in this installation manual as well as basic safety
precautions.
Tools
The following tools are needed for installation:
•Screwdriver, flat electric screwdriver 3.5 mm

Cabling and Fuse
Check the following before installing the Halo:
•The power is switched off
•The incoming cabling is dimensioned to be able to connect the Halo
oMinimum 2.5 mm2for 16 A
(electrical conditions in the facility and cable lengths may require a higher cross-
sectional area to meet the triggering conditions)
oMinimum 6 mm2for 32 A
(electrical conditions in the facility and cable lengths may require a higher cross-
sectional area to meet the triggering conditions)
•The product is properly fused – 16 A (C or B Curve MCB)* 1-phase 3.7 kW; 16 A (C or B
Curve MCB)* 3-phase 11 kW; 32 A (B Curve MCB)* 1-phase 7.4 kW
•An RCD Type A is installed solely for Halo
* MCB = Miniature Circuit Breaker, B Curve MCB’s trip at 3-5 times rated current and
C Curve MCB’s trip at 5-10 times rated current.
Mounting
Check the following conditions for mounting:
•That the wall can handle a weight of 5 kg
•That the installation screws and plugs (if required) are suitable for the material of the wall
•There is free space at the recommended mounting height (750–1450 mm as measured up to
the bottom edge of the Halo)
•That the position of the Halo does not cause it to be subjected to flammable, explosive,
corrosive or combustible materials, chemicals or fumes
If possible, do not mount the Halo in direct sunlight. The charging current decreases if the temperature
inside the charging station goes up and can even be switched off completely if the Halo gets too hot.
This is a safety feature to ensure a long service life. See the technical specifications for Halo for
operating temperatures.
Connection
To use your Halo, an internet connection is required. Check with your supplier what internet
connection requirements there are for your particular Halo.
Installing the Halo
Install and mount the Halo as follows:
1. Read the installation instructions in this document thoroughly.
2. Make sure that the feed cable is isolated and switch off the power at the main switch.
3. Mount a separate type A RCD on the feed line to the Halo. (The integrated DC protection
against fault currents in the Halo coupled with an external type A RCD has the same
functionality as a type B RCD.)
4. Unpack the Halo from its box. Check that the product is in good condition and that all cables
are properly seated.

5. Mark the mounting holes on the wall using the provided drill template (see the Drill Template
appendix). Also use a laser or spirit level. For a suitable height, see “Mounting” above.
5. Drill holes with a drill bit designed for the selected fastener.
6. Open the Halo with an H4 Allen key (be careful to make sure that the O-rings securing the
screws do not come loose, the O-rings does not only hold the screws in place they are also
needed to get the Halo watertight).
7. Remove all connected terminal blocks/connectors from the circuit board in the aluminium
cover.
8. Temporarily place the front assembly on a protected surface.
9. Mount the rear assembly on the wall with the selected fasteners. Use sealant if you are
installing in an outdoor environment or on an uneven surface.
10. Strip and insert the electrical cable in the cable entry underneath (15–20 cm is recommended
for easy mounting).
The Halo must be earthed through permanent electrical installation.
Only use the product within the specified operating parameters. Follow local, regional
and national standards and regulations so that no charging current limitations are
exceeded.
Avoid inserting the electrical cable through the plastic membrane. Plastic shrinks and
expands at different temperatures, and water could start to leak in. Enclosure rating
IP 66 only applies if the electrical cable is inserted through the specified cable entry!
11. Tighten the cable entry screw connector tightly.
12. Screw the power supply into the 5-pin terminal block as illustrated below.
a. Connection of 1-phase in TN network
In a 1-phase connection, make the following connections.
b. Connection of 1-phase in IT network

c. Connection of 3-phase in TN network (TN network only)
13. Refit the terminals in the front assembly.
1. 5-pin terminal block for incoming power supply
2. Connection for LED lighting
3. 6-pin terminal block for charging cable
4. Not used
5. Ethernet port
The cable ethernet connector must be of short type. Make sure that the connector
and the cable does not interfere with the aluminium rear housing when assembled. If
interference exists, this will break and damage the ethernet port of the Halo.

14. Refit the front assembly to the rear assembly. Carefully check that:
a. All O-rings around the fastening screws are in place
b. No cables are pinched
c. The front assembly is mounted the right way, with the InCharge logo facing the right
way.
15. Tighten the four H4 Allen head screws with a torque of 1.5–2.0 Nm.
16. Switch on the power at the main switch/electrical distribution box.
A start-up sequence with self-test begins.
17. Once the Halo is illuminated with a steady white light, the Halo is ready for use.
18. Call Vattenfall Customer service to ensure that Halo is connected to InCharge backend.
Telephone number:
- Norway: 22 73 01 00
- Germany: 0800 – 2 335 335
- Sweden: 020 – 52 62 00
Be careful to refit the front assembly the right way, i.e. with the InCharge logo pointing up. If
the front assembly is fit the wrong way, you risk crushing the circuit board.
Configuring electrical parameters for Halo
The Halo is preconfigured for 16 A available charging current from the installation.
The local management interface is disabled and changes to the available installation current should be
done by contacting Vattenfall Customer service.
