Introduction
The Cityline 100 Fast AC Chargepoint
The Cityline 100 Smart Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE)EVSE unit is a single
phase smart EV charge point which can provide a maximum of 8KW (32A per
phase).
The maximum charge rate is programmable from 1.4KW to 8KW (6A to 32A) to
allow adaption to local supply availability.
The Cityline 100 can be managed by a central system and offers operators a choice
of access methods, with our mobile app, fob operation or free-to-use modes.
Designed for fast and economical roll-out for new and existing networks; the unit is
capable of centralised dynamic load management and offers the possibility for load
balancing, where the charge station controls the power offered per socket
according to demand.
The Cityline 100 charge point has built-in CityEV Safevolt® technology which
provides protection in the event of a Protective Multiple Earthing (PME) PME
earthing failure and enables the Cityline 100 to be safely installed on a PME system
and be fully compliant with BS7671 18th edition amendment 1.
In addition to PEN conductor failure detection and isolation under fault conditions,
the Cityline 100 also monitors DC leakage current. This function is equivalent to a
‘type B’ RCD and will trip and isolate the charge point if a DC leakage current
greater than 6mA is detected. This allows the charge point supply circuit to be
protected with a standard ‘type A’ RCD and eliminates the need to provide a costly
‘type B’ RCD device.

Installation
The Cityline charge point can be either post mounted or wall mounted.
Guidance is given below for both mounting methods.
The charge point consists of two main components, the front panel which houses
all the electronics, and the weatherproof back shell.
To install the charge point first remove the front panel from the back shell.
Front panel removal
To remove the charge point front and electronics from the back shell, unscrew the
four security screws on the charge point side. The front can then be pulled off the
back shell.
Tip: For easy removal of the charge point front, once the four screws are removed,
insert a type 2 plug into the charging socket and apply a gentle sideways force to
the connector.

Safevolt Function
The Cityline 100 charge point has built-in CityEV Safevolt® technology which provides protection in the
event of a PME earthing failure and enables the Cityline 100 to be safely installed on a PME system and be
fully compliant with BS7671 18th edition amendment 1.
The 18th edition and the IET code of practice introduces strict conditions for electrical installations of
charge points on PME single and three phase installations.
The CityEV Safevolt® technology removes the need for costly and disruptive site works such as installing
ground rods or impractical isolation transformers.
Safevolt Modes
The Safevolt function can be configured to operate in two different modes.
Mode 1 – (factory default) Uses a line voltage sensing method to determine if a PEN conductor
(PME) failure has occurred.
This method provides compliance with BS7671:2020 18th Edition, amendment 1, 722.411.4.1.(iv)
No earth sensing probe is required for operation in this mode.
Mode 2 – Uses a small micro probe which is installed in contact with the ground.
Note: Not normally used for single phase chargepoints
The probe continually measures the touch voltage between true earth and the PME earth and
initiates a trip if the PME voltage rises to a dangerous level with respect to true earth due to a
PEN conductor failure.
This method provides compliance with BS7671:2020 18th Edition, amendment 1, 722.411.4.1.(iii)
This mode requires the earth sense probe to be installed.
Installing the earth Sense probe (required if using Safevolt mode 2)
The optional 300mm stainless steel earth touch voltage sense probe will be required.
The probe can be installed in any convenient location where access to soil can be found, however
note that the probe must be positioned at least 2M from any metallic object, pipe or
unsheathed cable which is connected to the PME earth.
⚠Failure to observe this may result in a reduction in the sensed touch voltage under a PME fault
condition which would reduce the effectiveness of the system.
Cityline 100 Installation Manual

Page 17
Sense Probe Cable
The cable which connects the earth sense probe is classed under BS7671 as a "Functional Earth” i.e., not a
safety earth connection and therefore the colour of the cable connecting the probe to the Safevolt unit:
Must not be Green/Yellow which is used for safely earth connections
In BS7671 the colour specified for a functional earth is cream or pink.
Sense Probe Cable Sizing
The current carried by the sense probe is very small as the probe input of the unit is high impendence.
From an electrical standpoint therefore, the cable could be a very small CSA.
However, consideration should be given to mechanical protection of the cable depending on the location
of the cable run etc. A larger size of cable may be needed, or the cable may need to be run in a conduit
depending on the level of exposure / protection for the installation.
The sense probe is connected via a 2
-
pin connector
located at the bottom of the main PCB, The probe is
connected to the pin marked “Probe” (Left hand
connection).
The charge point is delivered with a link installed
between the two pins of this connector. With this link
installed the mode 2 Safevolt function is disabled.
Note Safevolt mode 1 will operate regardless of the
presence of a link on this connector.
Sense Probe Connection
Cityline 100 Installation Manual

Sense Probe Performance
Because the measurement system is high impendence the system can work with a
"very poor" earth probe connection; The earth probe connection impendence can be up to
120K Ohms and still operate reliably. This will allow the probe to be installed in many situations which
would be unsuitable for a safety earth TT connection.
There is no requirement to perform any measurements on the earth probe during installation as the
Safevolt unit itself can determine if the installation is adequate.
The Safevolt continually monitors the suitability of the probe connection and determines if the sense
probe connection earth is adequate. If the earth sense probe connection is not suitable the middle LED
will flash continually the charge point output will be disabled.
Earthing Precautions
The Safevolt function is designed to isolate the installation CPC from the charge point CPC in the
event of a PEN conductor (PME) failure.
⚠ It is therefore important to check that no part of the charge point casing is connected to any
point which is directly or indirectly connected back to the building earth.
Any such connections will render the Safevolt system ineffective.
