Power Sharing
Note 1:
The electrical wiring and the associated electrical hardware used to connect in parallel the charging stations shall be
compliant to the local regulations in place.
With the embedded “Power SharingTM” capability of the CoRe+ MaxTM, up to four charging stations can be
connected in parallel to the same branch circuit.
1. The charging stations connected in parallel to a same branch circuit must be the CoRe+ MaxTM model (the
specific model identification can be found on the unit label).
2. Without a site controller installed or in operation, or in the event of a lost communication, each CoRe+ MaxTM
limits its output to 6A.
3. To enable a dynamic sharing of current, a site controller must be installed and properly configured by AddEnergie.
4. The site controller will then ensure that available maximum current is shared optimally amongst the charging
stations (between 6A and 80A for each station), while making sure that the maximum circuit capacity (80 A in the
case of a circuit protected by a 100A breaker) is never exceeded.
5. For safety reason, each CoRe+ MaxTM charging station will immediately interrupt an ongoing charging session
when the connected EV draws more than the amperage limit dictated at any time. To resume charging, the user
must restart the usage session process from the beginning.
6. The site controller is provided by AddEnergie as part of Global Management Service (GMS).
7. The communication between the site controller and the charging station is through a wireless meshed Zigbee
network. Refer to the communication gateway installation guide provided by AddEnergie for more details.
8. The maximum number of charging stations sharing the same 100A circuit (for a total load of 80A) is 4.

User Maintenance Instructions
Moving And Storing Instructions
The CoRe+ MAX enclosure complies to NEMA 4X which is intended for indoor or outdoor use primarily to provide a
degree of protection against corrosion, windblown dust, rain, splashing water, and hose directed water; undamaged by
ice which forms on the enclosure.
As such the maintenance required to protect the integrity of the charging station enclosure is minimal, except for
cleaning which can be achieved with standard domestic products recommended to the type of soil encountered.
The charging cable though, when not in usage, should be properly rolled around the station enclosure holder and the
cable connector inserted in its enclosure at all times. Care should be taken not to bend, twist or pull on the cable from
the connector alone either to enroll or roll it on the enclosure; or when it is stuck.
When manipulating the cable, please ensure the cable outer insulation and the connector itself do not show any excessive
sign of wear such as cracks or signs of abrasion, in which case please dial the ‘Installation or commissioning questions’
number at the end of this manual for reporting and case management purposes.
The charging station is designed for permanent usage and not intended for portable utilisation.
As such, storage situations will occur prior to installation in which case it is recommended that the station be kept in its
shipping packaging at temperature within -40 °C to +50 °C / -40 °F to + 112 F, and humidity not exceeding 95%
(noncondensing), until it is installed by qualified personnel.
