About this document
These instructions for use describe how the
eBox professional is operated properly. The
eBox must be handled as described in these
instructions for use.
The eClick serves as a docking station, so
this must be installed before the eBox can be
mounted. This prior installation is described
in detail in the installation instructions provided
with the eClick and must be performed by a
qualified electrician.
Please refer to the above-said installation
instructions for the complete installation.
Your personal safety is assured and the
eBox functions correctly only when you follow
exactly the steps in these instructions for use.
Do not perform any work on the eBox when
this work is not described in these instructions
for use. When in doubt, consult a qualified
specialist.
In addition, use only accessory parts that
have been manufactured specifically for the
eBox.
Intended purpose
These instructions for use apply to the eBox
professional and to its use in Germany, Austria,
and Switzerland. Please note the safety
standards applying in the country of use.
eBox – intended use
The device is intended for use in the exterior
and interior area.
In public spaces, the operator must
ensure that these instructions remain
permanently legible. The operation of the
eBox presupposes knowledge of the
contents of these instructions.
This design is intended exclusively for
the charging of electric vehicles fitted with
a Type-2 plug (IEC 62196-2), a Type-1 plug
(SAE J1772-2009; possible only with the
variant socket on the eBox), and charging
current control via the pilot signal (IEC 61851-1).
When the device does not have an attached
charging cable, a Type-2 plug must be used at
least on the infrastructure side. It may not be
used to charge or supply other devices.
Please bear in mind:
• There must be no adapters, converters,
or charging cable extensions.
• The two circuit breakers are installed outside
of the eBox and eClick and must be easily
accessible.

04
Keep a firm hold on the eBox
while pulling down the locking
bracket on the locking clip of the
eClick. Now release the locking
clip. As soon as the locking clip is
pulled up, gently press the eBox
onto the eClick.
05
If necessary, readjust the locking
bracket until it adopts its original
position. Alignment marks are
visible on the eClick. Check that
the locking bracket is fully inserted.
The markers protruding laterally
from the locking latch must be level
with the line mark of the eClick
housing.
03
Place the eBox carefully on the
eClick, and push in the eBox to
the stop.
Caution
Make sure that the
flat ribbon data cables
are not trapped
between the eClick
and eBox when
mounting the eBox.

06
Tighten the two grub screws
using the allen wrench at the rear
left and rear right of the eClick to
secure the locking mechanism in
place and the eBox on the eClick.
07
Power on the eClick circuit.
Caution
Make sure that the
eBox clicks correctly
into the eClick.
Marking of the locking
clip is in end position.
Grub screws are fully
screwed in.
Check box for
tight fit.
Note
The grub screws
should only be fully
inserted when the

Danger
This product contains
antennas that emit
electromagnetic fields
that can interfere
with other electronic
devices such as
mobile phones and
medical devices when
exposed to prolonged
periods of time at
intervals less than
3.5 cm. If prolonged
exposure is expected,
a minimum distance
of 20 cm is recom-
mended to avoid
interference.
Commissioning in case of private use
In order to commission your eBox, please
download the eCharge+ app and set up an
account. For all further steps, please see
the app. The whole technical commissioning
and the technical configuration of your
eBox has already been performed by the
electrician.
For the commissioning of the eBox via the
eCharge+ app, it is necessary to enter the PUK.
The PUK can be found on the back of this
manual. Keep this PUK in a safe place, and
hand it over to the next owner of the eBox.
eCharge+ app


04
Charging is finished* when both
the vehicle link indicator and the
LED ring light up green. After the
vehicle is unlocked or charging is
complete, disconnect the charging
cable and disconnect the eBox
from the vehicle.
* Optionally, charging may also be
stopped via the RFID card you
used before or the eCharge+ app.
02
Authenticate the charging process
via RFID card or the eCharge+ app.
For the latter you will need the
charging port number displayed
on the front of the eBox. The
eBox can also be activated from
the backend.
Charging involves connecting your vehicle to the eBox, authenticating the charging process, charging your vehicle, and finally disconnecting
your vehicle from the eBox. Please make sure that any connected cables are hung carefully back up. (Steps 1 and 2 are interchangeable.)
01
Connect your electric vehicle to
the eBox. To do so, plug the cable
first into the eBox. When your
vehicle is detected, the vehicle
link indicator lights up green.
Using charging cables properly
Do not use charging cables with
adapters of any kind on the eBox.
The use of extension cords is not
permitted.
03
Shortly after successful authen-
tication, the LED ring and vehicle
link indicator start flashing blue,
and your vehicle starts to charge.
For energy saving purposes, the
ring goes out after some minutes
when you move away from the
eBox.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Most eBox malfunctions are caused by
incorrect use. These errors can not be
detected by the eBox and therefore can
not be displayed by the device. This applies
e.g. to the following situations:
• No power source connected
• Charging cable not plugged in correctly
If a malfunction persists despite adherence
to the instructions for use, we recommend
restarting the eBox. To do so, disconnect
briefly the eBox from the mains by switching
the (miniature) circuit breaker in sub-installation,
and then reconnect it. If necessary, also check
the connection on the vehicle side.
Charging malfunction
In rare cases, charging is disrupted or reduced
by external effects. This can occur when:
• the eBox overheats:
The eBox down-regulates the charging
power automatically when a temperature
limit is exceeded and so temporarily reduces
charging. Shield, therefore, the eBox from
direct sunlight.
• Charging problem at the vehicle:
Check the fault display in your vehicle.
Authentication faults
• The authentication indicator does no
light up when:
authentication fails via the eCharge+ app.
Please repeat authentication via the
eCharge+ app.
• Authentication indicator flashes red:
RFID card not detected or not configured.
Please hold up again the configured RFID
card against the authentication indicator,
or configure an RFID card.
• Vehicle link indicator does not light up
(does not light up green):
Communication fault between the vehicle
and eBox. Check the connection between
the vehicle and the eBox, and if necessary
connect again.
• Bluetooth pairing button does not light up:
Bluetooth communication fault between
the eBox and your smartphone / tablet
(relevant only in the eBox private offline
mode). Initialise the Bluetooth connection on
your smartphone / tablet and the eBox by
pressing again the Bluetooth pairing button.
Note
There is no facility
for an additional
ventilation option
on the eBox.

Troubleshooting 
Critical fault
A serious device fault has rendered the eBox
inoperable, and it must be disconnected
immediately from the mains. If the fault
persists after a restart and after the eBox
has cooled down by itself, then consult a
qualified electrician, and if necessary have
the eBox replaced.
Danger
Device error.
Warning of
electrical voltage.
