charging simulation
The EVBox Dual Socket Test Box has been designed for carrying out
comprehensive and accurate tests of an EVBox charging station.
This unit simulates the connection of an EVBox charging station to
an electric vehicle, allowing the installer to verify multiple safety and
operational requirements during commissioning or eld service.
This model with article number 462323 is designed to carry out a full
range of tests on all 16 A and 32 A Mode 3 charging stations with either a
Type 1 (SAE J1772) or Type 2 (EN/IEC 62196-2) plug. Load simulations
can be performed on phase 1 of the installation by applying a load on the
Schuko socket.
Features
• Simulates an electric vehicle
• Tests charging stations equipped with charge cable with Type 1 plug
(SAE J1772)
• Tests charging stations equipped with charge cable with Type 2 plug
(EN/IEC 62196-2)
• Allows for testing of contactor functionality of EV charging stations
• Includes indicator lights to show charging session status on
the selected socket

How to test EVBox charging station
1. Plug the charging cable into the EVBox Dual Socket Test Box
in its designated socket (Type 1 or Type 2).
2. Set the switch button to “Position C” for the appropriate
socket type (Type 1 or Type 2).
3. Start the charging session by holding an RFID card in front of
the charging station’s RFID reader. Alternatively, you can use
any other available authorization method to start a charging
transaction.
4. The green LED ring (HMI) will begin ashing; you will hear
one beep sound.
5. At this point, the LED ring will turn yellow and then
immediately to blue, indicating that the simulated charging
session has started. You will see the green socket indicator
light for the chosen socket type (Type 1 or Type 2) lighting up,
indicating that its corresponding socket is energized.
6. Stop the charging session by holding the same RFID card in
front of the charging station’s RFID reader, or by using the
same alternate authorization mode from step 3 to stop the
charging transaction.
7. The LED ring will turn green or switch off completely
(depending on the settings).
Operation / charging station
Warnings
• The Schuko socket is intended for test purposes only.
• Do not use it as an extension for local power supply.
• The Type 1 or Type 2 socket is energized when its
corresponding light indicator is lit.
• Do not use both Type 1 and Type 2 sockets simultaneously.

Operation / kWh meter
How to test the kWh meter on EVBox charging station
1. Plug the charging cable into the EVBox Dual Socket Test Box
in its designated socket (Type 1 or Type 2).
2. Plug any device into the Schuko socket (e.g. an electric
heater) and turn it on. Note: The maximum current rating of
the device must not exceed 10 A.
3. Set the switch button to “Position C” for the appropriate
socket type (Type 1 or Type 2).
4. Start the charging session by holding an RFID card in front of
the charging station’s RFID reader. Alternatively, you can use
any other available authorization method to start a charging
transaction.
5. The green LED ring (HMI) will begin ashing; you will hear
one beep sound.
6. At this point, the LED ring will turn yellow and then
immediately to blue, indicating that the charging session has
started. You will see the green socket indicator light for the
chosen socket type (Type 1 or Type 2) light up, indicating that
its corresponding socket is energized.
7. Some charging stations allow you to monitor the kWh meter
readings during a charging session. This will enable you to
monitor the actual energy consumption.
8. After a while, stop the charging session by holding the same
RFID card in front of the charging station’s RFID reader, or by
using the same alternate authorization mode from step 4 to
stop the charging transaction.
9. The LED ring will turn green again or switch off completely
(depending on the settings).
10. Check that the charging session is recorded in the online
portal and that the energy consumption is shown.
