Introduction
Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase of a Smart PRO! The INDRA team hope you’ll be
delighted with the features, quality and user experience of the Smart PRO.
This manual covers how to get started with your Smart PRO, explains key features,
the troubleshooting tips along with important safety and warranty information.
It is important that you read this manual carefully before using the Smart PRO, so
you’re completely familiar with all features and safety advice and are able to get the
most from your Smart PRO.
Overview
The Smart PRO is a permanently installed electric vehicle charger providing up to
32 Amps (7.2kW) at 230V, 50Hz. There are 3 Smart PRO variants:
• Smart PRO Type 1 (170915A104) has a SAE J1772 (Type 1) tethered charging
connector to be used with Type 1 socket fitted EVs;
• Smart PRO Type 2 (170915A105) has an IEC 62196 (Type 2) tethered charging
connector to be used with Type 2 socket fitted EVs;
• Smart PRO Type 2 Socket (170915A106) can be used with multiple types of
charging cables, provided at least one end of the cable is fitted with an
IEC 62196 male connector.
The Smart PRO works like conventional chargers, but also offers a range of smart
charging modes, designed to take advantage of local generation (e.g. solar PV),
variable rate tariffs (e.g. Time of Use), as well as schedule charging according to
live carbon intensity of grid power. In all modes, the Smart PRO calculates the
best charging schedule that gets your EV ready when you need it.
Features
• Available in Type 1, Type 2 and Untethered versions
• 3 charging modes: Smart, Boost & Home Alone
• Remote control and analytics via the INDRA App
• Works with local generation e.g. Solar
• Economy tariff charging
• Minimises the carbon of a charging session
• Manual override on the charger and in the INDRA App
• Integral cable storage and charging holster
• Supplied with a current sensor
• Remote software updates
• High weather protection rating (IP65)

Operation
Getting started
As soon as installation is complete, your Smart PRO will be ready to start charging.
All you need to do is plug your EV in and go, it’s that simple.
INDRA App
At the end of the install process, you will also automatically receive a welcome email
from INDRA with details of how to register for the INDRA App.
The INDRA App is designed to get the most out of your Smart PRO, from seeing the
charger status, setting the charging mode, updating preferences, viewing charging
history, get support and much more.
The INDRA App is available through your phone’s web browser and works on all major
platforms (including Android, iOS & Windows).
Once you create an account and sign-in for the first time, you will be guided through
the initial set-up and details of the key smart features how to use them:
1. Welcome screen
2.Dashboard and how you see your current charger and session details
3.Scheduling feature (with default ready by set for 7am weekdays and 9am
at weekends) and how to customise this later.
4.Where to find Boost mode to override the Smart PRO smart schedules and charge
your EV immediately
5.How to add local generation, like solar, and we will give you the option to divert
surplus energy into your EV
6.Where to add your energy tariff details to ensure the cheapest charging session
(and show you charging costs) 76

Using the INDRA App
Smart Mode
The Smart PRO will operate in Smart Mode by default, automatically calculating your
personalised charging schedule, every time you plug in. To do this the Smart PRO will
use the information you provide in the INDRA App - for example your energy tariff and
when you need your EV – to make sure your EV is ready when you need it and at the
lowest cost.
INDRA tip: don’t worry if your EV doesn’t start charging immediately when plugged
in, Smart Mode is waiting for the best time to start charging. You can check when the
charging session is due to start on the home page of the App.

Navigation Buttons
Boost Mode
Boost Mode allows you to override Smart Mode to charge at full power,
immediately. This might not be the cheapest option on your tariff or use
the most solar, but it will be the fastest!
INDRA Tip: you can switch Boost Mode on and off either in the App or on
the front panel of the Smart PRO itself.

Stats
See a complete history of your charging – things like how
much you’ve spent charging, or how much energy you’ve
used throughout the month.
INDRA Tip: Your EV may not always accept the full 32A
(7.2kW), despite the Smart PRO offering this to the vehicle.
You may notice times when this is the case in the
charging history.

Charging Schedule
To set up your charging schedule, simply select the time you’d like your car to be
charged by each day. When the charger is in Smart Mode, it’ll make sure your car is
ready to drive by these times.
Vehicle Details
To ensure scheduling is met, the associated battery capacity of your EV must
be added. From the App dashboard, click on “More” where you will find
“Vehicle Details”. Within this page select the appropriate vehicle
manufacturer and then the specific model of your EV.
INDRA tip: Ensure the correct battery capacity is showing in the App,
this is one of the most important things Smart Mode will use to calculate
your personal schedule.

Solar Matching
Where solar PV (or other forms of local generation) has been installed, your
Smart PRO can use surplus solar output to charge your EV, increasing your
self-consumption. This can be set up within the INDRA App by navigating to
“More” and then “Microgeneration”.
Support & Frequently Asked Questions
Although the INDRA App has been designed to be intuitive and self-explanatory,
should you have any further questions. Then please check out our “FAQs”
which cover a host of topics; you’ll find more ways to get help in the
“Contact us” page.

Charging Cable Stowage
NOTE: APPROPRIATE CHARGING CABLE STOWAGE IS ESSENTIAL TO PREVENT
INADVERTANT TRIPS/ FALLS OR DAMAGE TO THE EV CONNECTOR
Tethered Variants (190105A101 & 190105A102)
• Disconnect the Smart PRO connector from your EV.
Seek manufacturer guidance on how to do so, as this is often EV specific
(Nissan Leaf disconnection is via the EV’s key fob for example)
• Coil the 5metre long charging cable around the circumference of the rear body
of the Smart PRO, several times, leaving a very short tail.
• Push the male charging connector into the blank holster recess of the Smart PRO
unit, so that it clips/ latches into position and is held.
• Ensure that no part of the coiled charging lead is trailing on or close to the ground.
Socketed Variant (190105A103)
• Disconnect the Smart PRO from your EV.
Seek manufacturer guidance on how to do so, as this is often EV specific
(Nissan Leaf disconnection is via the EV’s key fob for example)
• Remove your charging cable connector from the EV socket FIRST.
• Completely detach your charging cable from the Smart PRO unit by first pushing
gently inwards towards the rear of the charger unit (this removes any pressure from
the locking pin, allowing it to retract fully).
• Secondly, carefully pull downwards on your charging cable connector to remove it
from the Smart PRO device.
• Coil and stow this loose cable somewhere secure, and where it won’t
create a trip hazard.
