PC05T PORTABLE CHARGER
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
PC05T 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
PC05T without touching the smart phone or central
screen.

PC05T PORTABLE CHARGER
for TESLA electric vehicles
11 kW 3-phase METRON EV portable charger PC05T is
designed to charge TESLA electric vehicles equipped
with Type 2 charging sockets (European standard)
from 3-phase 16A CEE sockets (or any other 1 or 3
phase outlets by using appropriate adapter). PC05T
features 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 charger PC05T lighter, easier
to install/connect and easier to store in a carrier case.
First plug the PC05T 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 PC05T Type 2 plug into
the vehicle’s Type 2 charging socket.

SETTING THE DESIRED CHARGING CURRENT/POWER
PC05T portable charger allows 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:
1 3 x 6 A / 4,1 kW
2 3 x 8 A / 5,5 kW
3 3 x 10 A / 6,9 kW
4 3 x 13A / 9,0 kW
5 3 x 16A / 11,0 kW

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. But if you set PC05T charging current to e.g. 10A
that would immediately LIMIT the max. charging current setting to 10A also on Tesla
central screen or smart phone application.
(6 A / 1,4 kW – single phase mode)
(8 A / 1,8 kW – single phase mode)
(10 A / 2,3 kW – single phase mode)
(13A / 3,0 kW – single phase mode)
(16A / 3,7 kW – single phase mode)

LED blinks
When PC05T 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 PC05T 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 PC05T.
This feature once again eliminates the need for user “touching” the smart phone or Tesla central screen in
order to unlock PC05T 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.
PC05T is equipped with Metron RCD Type B device called RCDB1-316CEE 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 PC05T portable charger RCD is packed inside 3-phase
16A 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.
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.

On request PC05T can be also supplied without RCDB1-316CEE. The use of PC05T
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!
3-phase portable charger PC05T can also charge from any domestic wall socket
(e.g. Schuko) or 1-phase 16A CEE “camper” socket if proper adapter is used. In such
case PC05T behaves like a regular 1-phase portable charger (same charging
current/power).

Note: Tesla Model 3 vehicle on-board charger is phase sequence sensitive, what means that the phases have to
be in a proper sequence 1-2-3 at wall socket. If they are not, the car will not charge.
