Overview and Intended use environment
The Smart PRO can be classied as a ‘smart’ electric vehicle charging solution because of
its communications infrastructure which allows charging to be remotely optimised by the
Indra App; where charging can take place when electricity is cheapest; or if immediate
charging is required, its ‘Boost’ functionality overrides any smart grid criteria and provides
instantaneous charging capability.
Charging using the Smart PRO can take place at up to 7.4kW, but due to modulation
capability (measured by the external CT clamp) this power output level can also be reduced.
The Smart PRO is intended for both indoor and outdoor installation, securely mounted to a
wall or appropriately design pedestal.

O-PEN Fault Detection
The Smart PRO has built in O-PEN protection in the form of Indra’s patented PESTs. This
oers multiple options to comply with the PEN fault regulations, including Line to Neutral
Voltage monitoring (PEST mode B) and CPC to true earth voltage monitoring (PEST mode A).
House Fuse Protection (Load Curtailment)
Is a function that allows an EV charger to be installed at a property that may not have
enough spare power capacity to accommodate the charger always operating at full capacity.
It works by monitoring the amount of power the installation is using via an external CT clamp
and comparing that to the rating of the main fuse supplying the installation. If the dierence
is greater than 32A then the charger will oer full charge. If the dierence is less than 32A
then the charger will only oer as much power as there is spare capacity.
Note: G100.2 denes how load curtailment is managed. If the charger is congured to use
load curtailment and it loses contact with the External CT clamp, then the charger will
de-rate its power output to 6A to protect the main cut-out, thus 6A is the gure that should
be considered when carrying out the maximum demand survey.
DC Leakage Protection
An RDC-DD is tted into the Smart PRO oering 6mA DC leakage protection. This means the
Smart PRO can be installed with a Type A or Type F RCD up stream.
Over-The-Air Updates
The Smart PRO can be updated remotely while connected to the internet . These updates
can oer improvements to the function of the charger, be pre-emptive xes for known
issues, or used to rectify faults if they occur.
Tari Intelligence
Indra Smart Chargers can optimise charging based on the customer’s tari, where they have
a time of use tari. We support any time of use tari including Octopus Agile. For more
information follow this link here.

8 Indra Smart PRO Installation Guide
Solar Mode
This mode can be selected in the Indra App and can enable the customer to use surplus solar
energy (or any other form of micro-generation) to charge their car.
The external CT monitors how much energy is being exported from the installation. If the
installation is exporting more than 1.4kW , then the charger will oer the car a charge.
(1.4kW is the minimum amount of power required for all in-car chargers to accept a charge).
Note: The external CT clamp can only measure what energy is being exported back to the
grid, therefore, if the micro-generation is generating 2kW, and the installation is using 1kW,
the charger will only detect the remaining 1KW being exported to the grid. This means the
charger will not oer a charge to the car because there isn’t enough power to trigger the
in-car charger (1.4kW). Export to the grid needs to be 1.4kW or greater before the car will be
oered charge.
Smart Scheduling
Smart scheduling enables the user to create a schedule window, this is when the charger will
start and stop charging, but also, how many miles to add, how many kWh to add or how much
money’s worth of energy to add to the car.
Charge Analytics
The Indra App allows the user to control the charger, use the boost function, set charging
schedules, etc., and provides detailed information on their charging behaviour and their
charging history, including how much money they have spent, and how many miles-worth of
charge have been added to the car.

10 Indra Smart PRO Installation Guide
PEN Fault, Earthing, Simultaneous Touch
(PESTs) ProtectionProtection
The Smart PRO PESTs solution can operate under four of the indents of BS 7671:2018
A1:2020+A2:2022; section 722.411.4.1, for the purposes of design/installation we have
two modes of operation which Indra call A & B. Mode A can be congured with or
without a reference electrode. The safest installation conguration is, mode A with
reference electrode.
• Mode A with reference electrode – Indent iii – PME (Protective Multiple Earthing) as
CPC with a reference electrode and the only method for compliant install on a 3-phase
installations. Using this method negates nuisance tripping from uctuating supply voltage.
• Mode B – Monitors the L-N voltage and will disconnect from the car if the voltage goes out
of range (253V-207V). PME is used as CPC and no earth rod or reference electrode is required
if there are no simultaneous contact or touch voltage risks present. Consideration should
be given to nuisance trips where the line to neutral voltage may regularly exceed 253v,
especially where local solar panel or other forms of micro-generation are present.
• Mode A without reference electrode – For installations that do not fall under the
requirements of 722.411.4. E.g.E.g., TT installations, indoor installations, installations where
PME is bonded to Earth in accordance with indent ii.
PESTs Mode A essentially works by comparing three voltage readings:
1. L - N (Disconnects above 257.6V and below 184V. 230v +/- 12%)
2. L - Ref Electrode (Disconnects above 257.6V and below 184V. 230v +/- 12%)
3. CPC (PME) – Ref Electrode (Disconnects above 30v RMS)
• Mode A without reference electrode – For installations that do not fall under the
requirements of 722.411.4. E.g., TT installations, indoor installations, installations where PME
is bonded to Earth in accordance with indent ii.
PESTs Mode A essentially works by comparing three voltage readings:
1. L - N (Disconnects above 257.6V and below 184V (230v +/- 12%)
2. L - Ref Electrode (Disconnects above 257.6V and below 184V (230v +/- 12%)
3. CPC (PME) – Ref Electrode (Disconnects above 30v RMS)
