SMART Portable EV Chargers
INTRODUCTION
METRON PC02Y+, PC04Y+, PC04YT+, PC05Y+ and PC05YT+ are extremely compact & light weight SMART portable EV chargers designed to charge electric vehicles
from any standard industrial socket (e.g. 1 or 3-phase CEE sockets) or with an adaptor also from any household socket (e.g. Schuko).
PC02/4/5Y(T)+ SMART portable EV chargers actually convert any power outlet/socket to EV charging station with maximum user safety features and smart charging
capability through built-in Metron proprietary Wireless Dynamic Power Control system and also a user friendly WiFi Metron Charge Control application. The other big
advantage is the fact that METRON portable chargers don’t have that regular heavy in-line “bulky box” as others do, what makes them lighter, easier to install/connect
and also easier to store in a carrier case.
This truly unique design can also totally replace regular&smart wall-box type charging stations and you can also bring it with you wherever you go.
GET STARTED
First plug the portable EV charger in the wall outlet. Immediately STATUS LED starts blinking: number of blinks tells you what is the saved charging power/speed
setting (see the next page). Afterwards status LED glows constantly till AC power is present indicating standby/ready status. When you plug it into the vehicle Type
1/2 socket the STATUS LED starts blinking slowly what means the vehicle is charging. When your electric vehicle is fully charged the LED glows constantly again.
If wireless Metron Dynamic Power Control system that offers smart charging is installed the SIGNAL LED glows what indicates the charging power is dynamically
controlled in order to not blow main house fuses; this system is also smartly taking into account the solar/wind/hydro power plant if house has it installed (see
chapter “METRON Wireless Dynamic Power Control” for more info). Advanced users can also via WiFi connect to built-in Metron Charge Control application which
offers possibility to change charging power, delay charging start, see real-time charging&house&solar power & energy, activate solar SURPLUS charging and much
more (see chapter “USING THE WiFi METRON Charge Control application” for more info).
REMOTE CHARGE PORT OPEN & PLUG UNLOCK for TESLA electric vehicles
When PC04YT+/PC05YT+ is plugged into the wall outlet/socket (power applied), pressing a “2-function” button on the vehicle Type 2 plug sends a remote-control
signal to your TESLA vehicle charge port which then opens. 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. Remote-control signal also wakes-up the Tesla vehicle from sleep - sometimes the button needs to be
pressed several times to wake-up the vehicle.
To unplug PC04YT+/PC05YT+ while still charging or when charging completed press and hold the “2-function” button for a second. The car will unlock the vehicle
plug (only if car is unlocked/owner nearby!) and then you can unplug it. Plug unlock function works even if the PC04YT+/PC05YT+ is not connected to power source.
This feature once again eliminates the need for user “touching” the smart phone or Tesla central screen in order to unlock the PC04YT+/PC05YT+ plug from Tesla
charge port.

USING THE WiFi METRON Charge Control application
Smart portable EV chargers PC02Y+, PC04Y+, PC04YT+, PC05Y+ and PC05YT+ have a built-in WiFi access point with web server what enables users to connect to it
wirelessly by any smart phone, tablet or laptop PC. As there is a web server inside with preloaded METRON Charge Control application you don’t need to install any
additional program/application on your device because the METRON Charge Control simply runs in your favorite web browser (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge,
Mozilla Firefox…) on any operating system (Google Android, Apple iOS, Microsoft Windows, Huawei HarmonyOS, Linux…) you have on your smart phone, tablet or
laptop PC.
Using the web-based METRON Charge Control application user can:
•Disconnect the station from power, press the “Push Button” and keep it pressed.
•Connect the station to power.
•The blue STATUS LED starts blinking 2 times.
•After 30 seconds the STATUS LED will turn-on for 3 seconds and then turn-of.
•Release the “Push Button” and WiFi name (ssid) & password are reset to default values.
In order to connect to the WiFi METRON Charge Control application you need to do the following:
•
•

Go to WiFi menu in your smart phone, tablet or laptop PC and search for WiFi networks.
Find “METRON Portable 1” (default) network and connect to it; enter the WiFi password 12345678 (this is default - it
is recommended that you change it in the METRON Charge Control application).
Scan QR code you find on the station and follow the link (it will open your default web browser and launch the
Metron Charge Control automatically); OR open your favorite web browser and type in the following IP address:
http://192.168.4.4
The METRON Charge Control application will be loaded immediately. Up to 5 users (devices) at a time can be
wirelessly connected to the station and all connected devices will automatically receive all the latest data; for
example, if one user changes the charging current with the slider all others will see that on their screens.

METRON Wireless Dynamic Power Control
The METRON Charge Control application is intuitive and usually doesn’t need more instructions to be used; just browse and explore the functions. Where the
additional user info is required important user instructions are explained under “notes”. If you don’t understand something please feel free to contact Metron.
Smart portable EV chargers PC02Y+, PC04Y+, PC04YT+, PC05Y+ and PC05YT+ are equipped with Wireless Dynamic Power Control system that is always monitoring
the load at house main fuse with electric current sensors and dynamically adjusting (lowering or rising) the charging current/power of your electric vehicle in the way
the main house fuse never gets overloaded (never blows-up). If the house has a solar (or wind/hydro) power plant installed this system allows higher current/power
charging than would be allowed by the main fuse and it also enables the possibility of user activated solar SURPLUS charging what means the vehicle will be charged
only with excess solar power without taking any energy from the grid. METRON Wireless Dynamic Power Control system is designed to work with 1-phase and
3-phase power systems.
To be short, METRON Dynamic Power Control system enables users to charge their electric vehicle without worrying about the load other household appliances
might draw from the in-house grid.
Beside owning the PC02Y+, PC04Y+, PC04YT+, PC05Y+ or PC05YT+ all you need is 1 pcs METRON Dynamic EV Charging Unit (model 3FD-3) and current sensors. This
way up to 150 Metron portable AND/OR wall-box style EV charging stations can be controlled and main fuses with rated currents up to 1000A are supported.
Note: Wireless signal has an open-air space range of 500m with built-in antenna and up to 2000m with additional antennas on the METRON Dynamic EV Charging
Unit (model 3FD-3). If the system is installed within one house usually no additional antenna is needed.
Detailed schematics for installing METRON Dynamic Power Control system are located in a separate installation manual, intended for
qualified installers only.

SMART Portable EV Chargers
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. Every portable charging station has integrated Type A 30mA AC + 6mA DC RCD what ensures maximum possible level of personal
protection as it protects users from AC, pulsating DC and pure DC leakage currents.
WHAT IS RCD AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
All our products are produced in a carbon neutral way by using "Sustainable energy cycle" method. Production plant where we make charging cables and portable
charging stations is the first fully sustainable production facility for EV charging cables. All energy needed for the heating and cooling of the building, production
process and for transportation of goods and employees (except deliveries of heavy materials by trucks), is produced by 2 photovoltaic power plants and stored in
4 storage batteries. Almost all of the raw materials we use (cables, plugs) are produced in EU, to shorten supply routes and support local economy.
Buying our products helps developing sustainable economy.
