GET STARTED
Blue LED starts blinking slowly, which means the
vehicle is charging. When your electric vehicle is fully
charged the blue LED glows constantly. To unplug
PC03T/PC04T press and hold the “3-function” button
for a second. The TESLA car will unlock the plug (only
if car is unlocked/owner nearby!) and you can unplug
PC03T/PC04T without touching the smart phone or
central screen.

PC03T & PC04T PORTABLE CHARGERS
for TESLA electric vehicles
3,7 kW and 7,4 kW 1-phase METRON EV portable
chargers PC03T and PC04T are designed to charge
TESLA electric vehicles equipped with Type 2
charging sockets (European standard), from 1-phase
16A/32A sockets (or any other 1 or 3 phase outlets by
using appropriate adapter). PC03T and PC04T feature
integrated REMOTE CHARGE PORT OPENER & PLUG
UNLOCKER that works with all TESLA brand cars.
It also offers possibility, to set desired charging
current/power with a simple button press. Where’s
the heavy in-line “bulky box”? It doesn’t exist,
miniaturized portable charger electronics is placed
inside METRON Type 2 charging plug itself! This
makes METRON portable chargers PC03T and PC04T
lighter, easier to install/connect and easier to store in a
carrier case.
First plug the portable charger in the wall outlet.
Immediately blue signal LED starts blinking: number
of blinks indicates saved power setting (see the next
page). Afterwards, LED glows constantly till AC
power is present, indicating standby/ready status.
Next, press the “3-function” button to remotely open
TESLA charge port and insert PC03T/PC04T Type 2
plug into the vehicle Type 2 charging socket.

SETTING THE DESIRED CHARGING CURRENT/POWER
PC03T and PC04T portable chargers allow user to set desired charging current/power, before it’s plugged in
the TESLA electric vehicle Type 2 socket, or even while the vehicle is charging! Procedure is simple:
• press and hold the “3 function” push button: LED turns off immediately,
• after 5 seconds LED starts blinking slowly,
• releasing the push button after a certain number of blinks determines charging
current/power as follows:
LED light
“3-function”
push button
New charging current/power setting is stored in the memory and it stays the same (even
after the power supply is not present anymore) until the next setting change is performed.
All Tesla vehicles also allow users to set charging current manually on the Tesla central screen
or smart phone application. However, if you set PC03T/PC04T charging current to e.g. 10A,
that would immediately LIMIT the max. charging current setting to 10A on Tesla central
screen or smart phone application also.
When PC03T/PC04T is plugged into the wall outlet/socket (power applied), pressing a “3-function” button
sends a remote-control signal to your TESLA vehicle charge port, which then opens remotely. Signal range is
usually between 3 and 15 meters. This feature eliminates user “touching” the smart phone or Tesla central
screen in order to open the charge port.
To unplug PC03T/PC04T while still charging or when charging completed press and hold the “3 function”
button for a second. The car will unlock the plug (only if car is unlocked/owner nearby!) and then you can
unplug PC03T/PC04T. This feature once again eliminates the need for user “touching” the smart phone or
Tesla central screen in order to unlock PC03T/PC04T plug from Tesla charge port.
These are two functions of the “3-function” push button. Third one is described in the next chapter below.

RCD is an acronym for Residual Current Device - sometimes it can be called also Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker or
Safety Switch. Its purpose is to prevent you from getting a fatal electric shock if you touch live part, such as a bare
copper wire under high voltage. RCDs offer a level of personal protection that ordinary fuses/circuit-breakers
cannot provide. RCD constantly monitors the electric current flowing through one or more circuits which it
protects. If it detects electricity flowing down an unintended path, such as through a person who has touched a
live part, the RCD will switch the circuit off very quickly, significantly reducing the risk of death or serious injury.
PC04T is equipped with Metron RCD Type B device called RCDB1-132CEE which represents maximum possible
level of personal protection as it protects users from AC, pulsating DC, pure DC and also high frequency AC
leakage currents. In order to ensure “BOXLESS” design of PC04T portable charger RCD is packed inside 3-phase
32A CEE plug itself what eliminates even the smallest unsafe section found on other portable chargers where
there is at least 30cm of unprotected cable between wall plug and “bulky” in cable control box.
PC04T: Red LED indicates RCD cut-off the power because
of leakage current detection. To reset just unplug,
wait a second, and plug it in again.
WHAT IS RCD AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

On request PC03T/PC04T can be also supplied without RCDs. The use of
PC03T/PC04T portable charger version without RCD protection is allowed
exclusively on the installations protected by RCD.
In the event the cable has been damaged the product should be removed from
use immediately!
1-phase portable charger PC04T can also charge from domestic 1-phase wall socket
(Schuko) or 1-phase 16A CEE “camper” socket if proper adaptor is used. In such case
be sure to set charging current to 16A or less, otherwise you risk damage to the
socket or even blown fuse!
