Introduction
Thank you for choosing the cPH2 charging station from eCharge Hardy Barth GmbH!
With this Wallbox you invest in an innovative and future proof solution for the private
and public sector to charge your electric vehicle reliably and intelligently.
The Wallboxes of the cPH2 series are delivered pre configured for a minimum of
technical and temporal installation effort, for an appropriately prepared installation site.

Installation and operating manual cPH2 charging station
Version: 1.0.9 8

Product description
Your cPH2 charging station allows safe and convenient charging of electric vehicles in
accordance with the IEC 61851 1 standard, Mode 3. Depending on the variant in
question, the cPH2 is always designed for the fastest possible charging of the connected
electric vehicles in terms of circuit design, cable diameter and connections.
Thanks to access control via the Charge Controller, charging operations can be managed
easily and in a controlled manner. The versatile setting parameters thus facilitate, for
example, the charging operation of several vehicles by limiting the respective charging
current.
An integrated MID energy meter provides precise information about the current
charging power at each charging point. The determined data on active and past charging
operations can then be made available in real time on a smartphone, tablet or PC in the
internal network and can be transferred as required.
In combination with a compatible inverter or additional eCB1 MP+, the cPH2 Wallbox
also allows 100% use of solar power from an existing photovoltaic system for charging
your electric vehicle. Furthermore, in combination with a compatible smart energy meter,
such as our eCB1 MP+, the cPH2 enables dynamic load management, for example, to
avoid peak loads or limit the maximum current when using multiple charging points
simultaneously.
The two LED displays on the front of the housing inform the user at all times about the
current status of the Wallbox and the respective charging point.
Depending on the equipment variant, the cPH2 offers connection of the vehicle via
integrated charging cables type 2 or alternative charging sockets type 2 according to IEC
62196 2. Optionally, the cPH2 is also available with an additional protective contact
socket: For further information, please contact your sales partner.
With all our products, we place maximum emphasis on safety for the user. Therefore, in
addition to Welding Detection, the cPH2 offers DC residual current detection, which in
combination with the installation's protective devices ensures careful protection against
short circuits, electric shocks and other hazards.

Commissioning and charging
Safety instructions for operation
Before you perform a charge with the cPH2, you must check the following points for your
safety:
•The cPH2 has been installed according to the specifications in this document: In
particular, ensure that the charging station is freely accessible, not exposed to direct
sunlight or rain if possible, and that an electric vehicle can be connected without the
charging cable being under tension or otherwise stressed.
•The cPH2 has been properly connected to the supply line.
•Ensure that the supply line is protected by suitable circuit breakers.
•Ensure that the cover of the cPH2 is always closed during normal operation.
•Ensure that the charging cable is not twisted and make sure that the cable, charging
couplings, housing and charging sockets have no visible damage.
For charging, your cPH2 has different connection options from the TYPE 2 plug
depending on the variant. Accordingly, you need an optionally available charging cable
to connect to your vehicle.
The type 2 charging socket of the cPH2 in accordance with IEC 62196 2 has three live
contacts, a neutral conductor, a PE protective conductor and two signal contacts (Control
Pilot and Proximity Pilot), which ensure safe connection and thus hazard free use.
As long as the plug of the external charging cable is not locked
in the charging socket of the cPH2, no voltage is output to the
charging cable via the current carrying contacts of the socket.
If the mains voltage fails, the charging socket is automatically
unlocked.
The charging socket of the cPH2 offers an electromotive
module with an intern RFID Module (available as an option) for
a fully controlled charging process.
The type 2 charging sockets of the cPH2 are each internally
equipped with a DC residual current module. This protection is a prerequisite especially if
your electric vehicle itself does not provide protection against DC fault current:
Information on this can be found in the manual for your vehicle and from the
manufacturer or Sales partner for your vehicle.
Installation and operating manual cPH2 charging station
Version: 1.0.9 18
Figure 2: Type 2 plug female

Loading process
The cPH2 is designed to charge your vehicle as quickly as possible. However, the
effective charging time depends on the vehicle battery, as well as the current residual
energy in the vehicle. A binding statement on the charging time is therefore not possible:
You can therefore only conclude the actual charging time yourself from your practical
experience values.
If a fault should occur during the charging process or afterwards, this is indicated via the
LED status display of the cPH2. The chapter Status LED, page 22, describes how to
recognize operating and error states and what measures are necessary.
To charge your vehicle, proceed as follows:
1. check the LED status indicators on the front of the cPH2:
When the charging station is ready for operation, the LEDs on the front of the charging
station light up green.
2. Open the charging socket on the vehicle.
3. Plug the charging coupling of the charging cable into the charging socket on the
vehicle.
The vehicle must be parked so that you can easily reach the socket on the vehicle.
The cable must not be under tension during the charging process.
4. if available on your model, open the cover of a charging socket on the cPH2 and insert
the type 2 charging plug.
NOTE!
If you equip your Wallbox with RFID authentication or an OCPP Backend
please note points 5 and 6. Otherwise, charging takes place immediately
after plugging in. (The LED changes from "green" to "yellow" (vehicle
connected) to "blue" (charge active).
5. Log on to the Wallbox with a valid RFID card (one of the 5 RFID cards supplied ex
works). Hold the card in front of the card reader of the Wallbox for approx. 3 seconds. A
short beep will sound to indicate that the card has been successfully recognized.
Immediately afterwards, you will hear another tone:
· short tone (approx. 1 second) for card accepted
· long tone (approx. 3 seconds) for card rejected
More information about the RFID module on page 21.

Version: 1.0.9 19

6. Start of the charging process:
In the default configuration, the charging process starts immediately after the
authentication via RFID card has been successfully performed. When the charging
process starts, the color of the status LED of the associated charging socket changes
from yellow to blue.
7. the charging process is usually terminated only by the vehicle. The LED STATUS changes
from blue to yellow. After the charging process is completed, first pull the cable out of
the socket on the vehicle and then (if present) out of the Type2 socket on the Wallbox. If
the vehicle is not 100% charged in this case,
please check the settings in your vehicle. You usually have the option of setting a charge
limit (e.g. at 80%) in the vehicle's on board computer.
