Warnings
Dielectric Voltage Withstand Test is not allowed on GTC
Nova
This equipment should not be used by anyone (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capacity, or anyone lacking in experience or knowledge,
unless they are provided with supervision or prior
instruction in how to use the equipment by the person
responsible for their safety.
The GTC Nova range of charging stations is designed
exclusively for charging electric vehicles.
The GTC Nova must be grounded according to local
country installation requirements.
Do not install or use the GTC Nova near flammable,
explosive, harsh, or combustible materials, chemicals, or
vapors.
Turn off the electrical power at the circuit breaker before
installing, configuring or cleaning of the GTC Nova.
Use the GTC Nova only within the specified parameters.
Never spray water or any other liquid directly at the GTC
Nova. Never spray any liquid onto the charge handle or
submerge the charge handle in liquid.
Do not use this equipment if it appears to be damaged or
if the charging cable appears to be damaged.
Do not modify the equipment installation or any part of the
product.
Do not touch the terminals with fingers or any other
objects.
Do not insert foreign objects into any part of the GTB
Nova.

INFORMATION

All installation must be carried out by an authorized
installer and comply with local installation regulations.
If any questions, please contact your local electrical
authority.
Ensure that the charging cable is positioned so it will not
be stepped on, driven over, tripped on, or subjected to
damage or stress.
Unroll the charging cable to prevent it from overheating.
Do not use cleaning solvents to clean any of the GTC
Nova’s components. The outside of the GTC Nova, the
charging cable, and the end of the charging cable should
be periodically wiped with a clean, dry cloth to remove
accumulation of dirt and dust.
Be careful not to damage the circuit boards or
components during installation.
Refer to local standards and regulations not to exceed
charging current limitations.
The front cover must always be locked in order to ensure
compliance with IP Code IP44.
Avoid installing the GTC Nova in direct sunlight to avoid
any heat-problems.
Notes
Cautions
Do not use private power generators as a power source
for charging. Variations in the electrical voltage can
damage the vehicles battery and/or the GTC Nova itself.
Incorrect installation and testing of the GTC Nova could
potentially damage either the vehicle’s battery and/or the
GTC Nova itself.
Do not operate the GTC Nova in temperatures outside its
operating range – see technical specifications.
To even out the load, it is important to rotate the phases
when connecting several of GTC Nova to the same
supply. Note that 1-phase charging is common in
electric vehicles and L1 and L2 in the GLB is used for this
purpose.
Ventilation signal from EV is not supported.
Adapters for charging connectors are not allowed to be
used.
Cord extension sets for charging cable is not allowed to
be used.
Electrical vehicles (EV) software and the GTC Nova
firmware are continuously updated.
To make sure that the GTC Nova is working properly,
it is necessary to update the firmware and it requires a
communication card.
Communication cards are available as an accessory.
GTC Nova charging station is designed for safe electric
vehicle charging for temporary installations.
When installing NOVA charging station, the supply cable
should be preceded by an RCCB type A.
When used in public environments, such as events of
various kinds, incoming and outgoing CEE shall be locked
with appropriate protection. Appropriate protection is
available in GARO’s range.

INFORMATION

INSTALLATION OF STANDALONE GTC NOVA
The installation must be performed by a professional electrician.
The installed mains cable need to handle up to 32A during long
term period.
Calculate the required cable length and select the appropriate
cable-area to minimize the risk of voltage-drop.
Follow local country regulations.
Left hand side PCB (CC1) controls the left side outlet/cable and
the right hand side PCB (CC2) controls the right hand side outlet/
cable.
1. Select the appropriate group fuse and cable size for the
electrical installation. GTC Nova have a CEE inlet where the
mains cable.
NOTE! Due to high currents for a long time in the cable, there is a
high risk of voltage drop if the cable is under-dimensioned which
can damage the electronics in an EV.
2. Mount the GTC Nova according to picture 1.

3. You can by setting Dip switch SW2 on both CC1 and CC2
(picture 2 and 3) reduce the charging current for left or right hand
side if needed. Normally, this is normally not necessary. Available
range is 6-32A (table 1 and picture 4).
It is allowed to set different values on left and right hand side.
4. Install the electrical power supply cable in the CEE inlet, see
picture 3.

5. Turn on the electrical power to the GTC Nova.
6. For GTCDCW… models: Connect a mobile device (PC/
Tablet/Mobile) to the GTC Nova Wifi network. You find SSID and
password on the label inside the front door. Type in 172.24.1.1
in your web browser and check that the GTC web interface is
visible. This action confirms that the GTB Twinbox communication
module is working properly.
7. Test the GTC Nova both sides with a test instrument or test to
charge an electric vehicle to ensure that the GTC Nova is working
properly.

Web interface information (only for GTCDCW…models)
In the GTC Nova web interface there are some information and
settings available. (As the firmware is constantly updated and
improved there may be differences compared to this manual).
WARNING!
GARO recommend that settings in the web interface are made
only by the person with good knowledge of the product. In the
wrong settings, you risk overloading the system, which can cause
malfunctions.
NOTE!
When GTC Nova is connected to a local network, please use
chargebox.garo.se in the web browser. Your computer/mobile/
tablet needs to be connected to the same network as the GTC
Nova.
Connect to GTC Nova Wi-Fi accesspoint (AP)
Connect a mobile/tablet/computer to the GTC Nova wifi
accesspoint by search for the correct SSID in the wifi settings. See
picture 7.
You find the SSID and password inside the front door.
Type in 172.24.1.1 in your web browser and check that the web
interface appear.
If your GTC Nova already is connected to a local network, use
chargebox.garo.se and follow the instructions.

INSTALLATION OF STANDALONE GTC NOVA

Normal use / Charging
Connect the charging cable to the EV. Charging will start
immediately if the EV is ready for charging. See your EV charging
manual.
When finishing charging, follow the car’s instructions.
After charging: Release the charging cable from your EV and
place the charging cable at designated place.
Note!
It is the EV that determines how much electrical current (A) the
GTC should provide. GTC Nova can provide the maximum rated
power according to the rating label. When both sides are in use,
the GTC Nova will balance the load equally between both sides.
In cases where the required power exceeds the available power
to the GTC Nova, the left hand side is prioritized.
The GTC Nova is equipped with outlets, and it is important to use
correct charging cable.
For example, if you want to use 32A from the GTC Nova, you
must use a 32A charging cable.
