PC03, PC04 AND PC05
GET STARTED
METRON EV portable chargers PC03, PC04 and PC05
are designed to charge electric vehicles equipped
with Type 2 charging sockets (European standard)
from any standard household outlet (e.g. Schuko) or
industrial socket (e.g. 1 or 3-phase CEE sockets).
Where’s the in-line “bulky box”? Metron portable
chargers are truly unique because all the charging
station electronics is placed inside Type 2 charging
plug itself!
First plug the portable charger in the wall outlet.
Immediately signal LED starts blinking: number of
blinks tells you what is the saved power setting (see
the next page). Afterwards LED glows constantly till
AC power is present indicating standby/ready status.
The biggest advantage of this design is the fact that
METRON portable chargers don’t have that 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. METRON portable chargers
also offer the possibility to set desired charging
current/power by simply pressing a button.
When you plug it into the vehicle Type 2 socket it
starts blinking slowly which means the vehicle is
charging. When your electric vehicle is fully charged
the LED glows constantly again.

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.
SETTING THE DESIRED CHARGING CURRENT/POWER
METRON portable chargers allow user to set desired charging current/power, before being plugged in the
electric vehicle Type 2 socket, or even while the vehicle is charging! Procedure is simple:
• press and hold the push button: LED switches 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:

3-phase portable charger PC05 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 PC05 behaves like
PC03 portable charger (same current/power).
1-phase portable charger PC04 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!
The use of portable charger versions without RCD protection is allowed exclusively on the
installations, protected by RCD. Household 16A Schuko wall sockets must be designed for
constant 16A current! In the event the cable has been damaged the product should be
removed from use immediately!

Portable charger models PC03, PC04 and PC05 can have some additional designation next to the number such
as PC03xyz, PC04xyz and PC05xyz, where “x” and “y” and “z” may be any alphanumeric character or blank,
representing a color or wall plug type, or lower than standard charging current limit or factory version, or any
possible future product differentiations, which do not have an impact on general technical specifications.
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.
To start charging press “RESET” button on RCD. Green LED should turn on.
