4 Precondition
4.1 Tools
Before the installation make sure that following tools are available:
ü Screwdriver ü Drilling machine
ü Multi meter ü Computer (for network configuration)
ü Peeler ü Mini USB cable (to connect computer and controller board)
ü Spirit level ü Mifare Classic/ IEC 14443 Type A, compatible RFID-tag.
ü Computer/Laptop (OS: Linux or OSX preferred, Windows10 requires USB-driver installation)
4.2 Cableinstallation
Before the installation of the charging station, control the following:
ü The cable installation is dimensioned for the charging station. (at least 2,5 mm2cable area for
16A copper cable and at least 6mm2for 32A copper cable). For wall mounting shall 50 cm cable
be available for use inside of charging station.
ü Make sure that power is off during installation
4.3 Networkconnection
In case the charging station shall be connected to a portal or a local controller, check the following
depending on network access medium:
ü 3G: Activated SIM-card must be mounted in the unit with PIN disabled. The subscription shall
allow at least 2GB/month.
ü Ethernet: Network cable of type Cat5 or better shall be connected to the charging station.
In case the charging station is behind a firewall and shall be connected to a backend system must DNS
(port 53), https/wss (port 443) be opened in the firewall. If remote firmware
upgrade shall be possible must also ftp be opened in the firewall.
4.4 Installationlocation
Control the following at the location where the box will be mounted:
ü That there is enough space available for normal usage.
ü That the wall material is suitable for mounting of the box. The wall
must withstand the charging station weight (8,5kg)
ü Avoid installing the unit in direct light sunlight. Symbol visibility is
limited and heat in the unit is increasing. Chargestorm Connected has
a temperature sensor in the unit that adjust charging current in case
of high temperature.
ü Always follow local regulation

5 Installation
Step 1) Unpack – Unpack the charging station and all parts from
the cardboard box.
Step 2) Drill holes in the wall – Decide mounting position on the
wall. Drill four holes according to drawing, see Figure 4.
Step 3) Decide input location for power and network1– Power
and network cable can either be connected from the top or the
bottom. If cables are inserted from below must holes be drilled in
the unit according to Figure 3. It is strongly advised that power
cable is coming from below for outdoor installation, avoiding any
problems with water entering the unit from the top along the
cable during rain.
When cables are connected from the top: There are two holes on
the top. The largest 2. (M32) is for power while the smaller 1.
(M12) is for network see Figure 5. The cable gland for 1. that is
delivered with the product supports cable dimensions between12-
22mm while the gland for 2. supports 3-6mm. The glands must be
replaced if the cables are outside specified range. If the charging station shall be part of a load balancing
installation or be connected to the backend via Ethernet must a network cable be connected to the
controller board RJ45 port. Cable glands shall be used to protect for dust and water penetration. More
information related to load balancing is available in, ref. 2) and ref. 3).If wiring is connected from below
must holes be drilled in the unit according toFigure 3.
Figure 5 Cable glands for incoming cables
Step 4) Wall mount – Unlock and open the box with the key. Locate the four screwing holes in the
back cover. M8 screw with at least t 40 mm length is recommended. Place the charging station on
selected wall position and fastened the unit with the four screws. Control that unit is firmly mounted on
the wall.
1For three-phase Chargestorm Connected models with dual connectors power cable must enter from
below. Further, these models support 16mm2cable area.

Figure 6 Open front cover with the key and fasten the unit on the wall
Step 5) Connect incoming power2-Pull the power cable through the cable gland about 450 mm. Peal
the wires about 8mm at the end. The wires cross section area must not exceed 16mm2. Make sure
protected ground wire is longer than the other wires sot that it will be the last wire to detach if pulled.
Connect the supply wires to the terminal blocks. Check that L1-L3, PE and N is correctly mated
between female and male connector. Put back protection cover and close and lock with the key.
2For three-phase Chargestorm Connected models with dual connectors is incoming power connected to
the DIN rail mounted terminal blocks at the bottom between the connectors. Check that L1-L3, PE and
N is correctly mated. For schematics see chapter 11.

Figure 7 Cable schematics
Cables inside the unit for the supply wires from top to terminal blocks
shall follow the black line while supply wires from the bottom shall follow
the grey line in Figure 7.

Step 6) Connect network – In case Ethernet is used connect cable to RJ45-connector on the control
board located on the front panel. When cable is connected in both ends shall link and activity led on the
RJ45 connector be active. If 3G is in use, check that the SIM-card is installed on the modem unit on the
control board. Also check that the antenna cable is attached in both ends. See schematics in chapter 11.
Step 7) Test – Activate power from the distribution panel, after closing and locking the charging
station with the key. Do not forget to put the cover on the key-lock. Green connector symbol shall be
active on the front panel after turning on power. Follow directives in chapter 8.

6 Provisioning 
When the electrical and network installation is ready shall the charging station be configured for
operational use (such as network configuration and portal configuration). The Portal is a software that
is used for remote operation and maintenance of the unit. To configure the charging station control
board through the local web interface is a mini USB cable required. The mini-USB port is located on the
control board while a standard USB port is used on the computer for configuration. If the computer is
running Microsoft Windows must an Ethernet to USB-driver be installed to support access to the local
web interface. For Linux and Mac OSX is the driver part of the operating system. For detailed
description of the local web interface see ref. 1)
Chargestorm recommends that the installation technician documents the result of the provisioning tests
in a dedicated protocol.
Perform the following step to complete configuration.
1. Log in to the local web interface. URL: http://192.168.7.2 with user name ccu and password
ccu. All modern web browsers work but Chrome is recommended.
2. Configure network interface (Ethernet or 3G) so that internet access is available
3. Configure URL and charging station identity (ChargeboxId) to portal
4. Configure usage of RFID
5. Configure load balancing
6.1 Localwebinterface
To connect to the local web interface shall a USB cable be connected between the computer and the
controller board mini USB port. In your browser enter IP address 192.168.7.2 to reach the web
interface. The log in page is shown after entering the address. To log in enter:
Username: ccu

WWAN is a specific 3G-mode. WWAN tends to be more robust than PPP described in previous
chapter. Follow the step by step instruction to configure WWAN.
¥ Under “Configuration®Interface®General”, select WAN=”Wireless”
¥ Under “Configuration®Interface®WWAN”, enter “APN” applicable for the selected 3G
operator. Remaining fields can usually be left empty.
¥ Push the “save” button (at the bottom of the page).
6.3 Currentlimit
From the local web interface is the max current limit configured (in case the limit shall be lower than
the charging status fuse level). Under configuration outlet, see Figure 13 is the current limit set.
Figure 13 Configuration of current limit
6.4 Portalaccess
Portal configuration connection requires that the internet access is working. The OCPP chargeboxid
and server address must be known in advance in order to connect the charging station to the portal.
The information shall be provided by the portal operator. In case Chargestorm’s portal “Charge Portal”
is used is the URL to the portal on the following format.
wss://<companyname>.oamportal.com/Ocpp/websocket Chargeboxid must not contain more than 22
characters and it must be unique (charging stations cannot have the same chargeboxid). The charging
station uses OCPP v1.5 or v1.6, which must be supported by the selected portal.
¥ Select ”Configuration®Server” and enter the ”ChargeboxId”
¥ Select communication protocol to OCPP v1.5 or OCPP v1.6.
¥ Enter server address. Most often can the other parameters remain unchanged.
¥ Push the “Save” button (on the bottom of the page)
After completing the configuration navigate to the status page and verify that the portal communication
is established.
