STARTING AND STOPPING THE CHARGING PROCESS
1. Open your vehicle's charging port (refer to your vehicle manual)
2. Remove the plug from its wall holder and connect it to your vehicle.
3. The indicator lights up after a few seconds. If it does not, refer to the
Troubleshooting section on page 11.
4. Once your vehicle is recharged, the indicator light goes out.
5. Unlock your vehicle's charging port (refer to your vehicle manual).
6. Hang the plug back into its wall holder.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT
Your Velocy BOX is equipped with a system that ensures maximum charging power
according to the power available at any given time on your electrical network.
➔When recharging power is momentarily reduced, the indicator lights up
periodically.
➔If the power available is too low to continue the charging process, the indicator
will remain lit and the indicator will flash for 5 minutes before attempting to
recharge again.
This management system can be operated using a wired load-shedding device or our
optional Velocy SENSE wireless control box.
Contact your electrician to set up this option.
TARIFF MANAGEMENT
Your Velocy BOX is equipped with a system that allows you to limit charging to times when
you can benefit from a lower rate.
➔When recharging is paused waiting for the reduced rate, the and indicators
flash.
➔Press the button on the side of the unit to force the charging process to start.
Contact your electrician to set up this option.

User Manual / Technical Manual v1.2
These instructions are intended for professionals trained and authorised to
install electric vehicle charging equipment. Failure to comply with these
instructions may invalidate the manufacturer's warranty.
INSTALLATION - CONFIGURATION : VELOCY BOX (FRONT COVER)
1. Charging current setting (in Amperes) :
The charging current is configured using micro switches SW1 and SW2 according to the
following table:
SW1
SW2
I Max
P Max Single P
P Max Three P
OFF
OFF
16A
3,7kW
11kW

Select a charging setting in line with the maximum current available at any time on the
network, except in the case of an installation with energy management (Velocy SENSE or
wired option), in which case it will be possible to set this setting at a higher value, without
however exceeding the rating of the subscriber circuit-breaker.

2. Wireless module (Velocy SENSE option) :
This button is used to pair the Velocy BOX with the Velocy SENSE.
Pairing is carried out at the factory, so this procedure is not necessary on a new device.
In the event of an after-sales service requiring the replacement of one of the radio
modules, it may be necessary to carry out this procedure to re-establish communication
between the Velocy BOX and the Velocy SENSE.
Here is the procedure to follow for pairing:
The Velocy BOX and Velocy SENSE units are both fitted with the above radio module.
Locate the pairing button on each and follow the procedure below:
1. Power up the Velocy BOX and Velocy SENSE to be paired.
2. Press and hold the pairing button on the Velocy SENSE box for 2 seconds until the
LED starts flashing. The module is now waiting to be paired.
3. Briefly press the pairing button on the Velocy BOX. The Velocy BOX and Velocy
SENSE are now paired.
4. Briefly press the pairing button on the Velocy SENSE box to exit pairing mode.
INSTALLATION - CONFIGURATION : VELOCY SENSE
Using a flathead screwdriver, select the maximum
current supported by the electrical subscription on
the two coding wheels.
The wheel on the left corresponds to tens, and the
wheel on the right to units.
Warning: if the box is powered up, switch the
power supply off and on again to confirm the
change.

User Manual / Technical Manual v1.2
INSTALLATION - MOUNTING AND WIRING: VELOCY BOX
1. Insert the power cable into the cable gland and connect it to the power terminals. In the
case of a single-phase supply, only wire L1, do not bridge L1 - L2 - L3.
CAUTION: leave 20cm of cable unattached to the wall so that the box can be rotated
freely to gain access to the rear screws.
2. Place the front panel on the case and screw it in from the rear using the 8 screws
supplied.
3. Using the drilling template, drill and anchor the 4 holes in the wall, then screw the box
into the holes accessible under the two hinged covers at the top and bottom of the box.
Finally, tighten the cable gland to ensure that the assembly is watertight.
4. Fix the wall bracket close to the casing so that the user can easily attach the charging
connector when charging is complete.
CAUTION: the connector must always be hooked back onto this support, and the user
must not wrap the cable around the casing and leave the connector upside down,
particularly if the device is used outdoors (risk of water ingress).

INSTALLATION - MOUNTING AND WIRING: VELOCY BOX
1. Wired load shedding terminal block :
If you don't have the optional Velocy SENSE box, you can use the Velocy BOX's
energy management functions with a load-shedding module of your choice fitted with an
unpowered contactor.
CAUTION: no voltage is allowed to be present on this terminal block!
Operating logic :
- Contact open: Operation at full power
- Contact closed : Automatic power reduction
If this terminal block is not used, it must be opened.
2. Tariff management terminal block (day/night option) :
This terminal block is used to activate charging only during reduced tariff periods. It
must be connected to a day/night module fitted with a unpowered contact.
CAUTION: no voltage is allowed to be present on this terminal block!
Operating logic :
- Contact closed: Charging authorised
- Open contact: Recharging forbidden
If this terminal block is not used, it must be shunted.

User Manual / Technical Manual v1.2
INSTALLATION - MOUNTING AND WIRING : VELOCY SENSE
The Velocy SENSE module must be installed close to the subscriber's main circuit
breaker/meter.
A domestic socket is required to connect the box's power supply unit.
Depending on your configuration, clip one sensor for a single-phase installation, or 3
sensors for a three-phase installation directly onto the phase wires at the output of the
customer circuit breaker.
In a three-phase installation, the order in which the phases are connected has no influence
on the operation of the device.
