Potentially fatal injuries as a result of electric shock
and/or burns are possible!
eAlways ensure that the system is de-energized
during all work and that it is secured against
being accidentally switched on.
eUnder no circumstances should you open the
housing of the energy manager.
Intended use
The energy manager serves primarily to ensure the
electrical energy supply (overload protection), by pre-
venting the main fuse from being triggered (building
protection).

6
The following are considered to be contrary to the
intended use:
–Unauthorized modication and customization of
the energy manager
–Any other use of the energy manager beyond
that described here
The energy manager is designed as a rail-mounted
device and must be installed in compliance with the
required electrical/electronic and IT conditions.
For the electrical/electronic part, this means that the
energy manager must be installed in a suitable dis-
tributor.
USA only: In the event that no such distributor is
available in your country, you can procure one via
an authorized Porsche dealer. For information on the
optional wall-mounted distributor:

Installation of circuit breakers
Information
Circuit breakers are not included in the scope of sup-
ply and must be installed by a qualied electrician.
The energy manager has no internal fuses; conse-
quently the inputs for voltage measurement, the ex-
ternal voltage supply and the relay on the energy
manager must be secured with appropriate series
fuses.
–Operation of the energy manager requires that all
supply cables be protected against overcurrent.
In this process, it is important to select fuses
with sensitive trip characteristics.
–The selection of fuse elements is determined by
the commercially available components of the
relevant country of use.
–Components with the lowest trip current and trip
time must be used.
Preparing the distributor cabinet
For information on the energy manager's space re-
quirements:
g Refer to chapter "Technical Data" on page 24.
eEnsure 11.5 horizontal pitch on a DIN H-rail for
the installation of the energy manager within the
distributor cabinet.
eInstall the power pack of the energy manager
with a distance of at least 0.5 horizontal pitch to
its housing.
eProtect all electrical interfaces from direct/indi-
rect contact.

4. Check that the energy manager is rmly at-
tached to the H-rail.
Installing current sensors
Incorrect measuring direction of the sensor
Installing the sensors contrary to the measuring di-
rection can lead to false results and malfunctions.
eNote the measuring direction of the sensor (Fig.
15, yellow arrows).
The current sensors for measuring the total cur-
rent of the plant/household must be installed down-
stream of the main fuse on the relevant main phases.
No distribution of the energy ows into further sub-
circuits should have taken place yet.
g Refer to chapter "Overview" on page 8.
eAdhere to the maximum permitted cable length
of 9.8 . (3 m) per current sensor.
eSelect an installation location with straight-
routed cables and observe the direction of meas-
urement (arrow pointing towards the electrical
load) (, yellow arrows).
eInsert the installation cable into the current sen-
sor and close the cap of the current sensor (,
yellow arrow).
eMake sure that the rated current of the current
sensor is actually higher than that of the circuit
breaker.
eCurrent sensor cables should be inserted into
the plug connector rst and only then should
the plug connecter be inserted into the device
interfaces.
Information
Note the current sensor type, the connection position
on the energy manager and the phase to which the
current sensor was attached. You will require this
information to congure the current sensors in the
Web Application.
If measurement cables must be extended, use the
same cable type where possible.
If the installation environment requires the use of an
optional wall-mounted distributor, the cables must
be guided through suitable cable routing systems
(cable ducts, channels etc.) into the wall-mounted
distributor.

NOTICE
Laying connection cables
The connection cables must be laid inside the distrib-
utor cabinet before installation of any devices in ac-
cordance with the locally applicable regulations and
all electrical interfaces must be protected against
contact.
eUse suitable installation cables that comply with
the locally applicable regulations.
eCut the installation cables to length to suit the
space available and the installation position.
eObserve the product-specic bending radii of
the installation cables to prevent damage to ca-
bles and hardware.
Connection to the building installa-
tion
Incorrect assignment of the phases
Incorrectly assigned phases can lead to false results
and malfunctions.
In the case of a multi-phase power grid, ensure that
one phase of the domestic connection corresponds
to the phase at the Porsche charger connection and,
if required, the phase of an inverter of a photovoltaic
system. At no point should there be a phase shi, as
otherwise the phase-specic charging functions will
not work. With this installation, current sensors can
be assigned to the power sources and electrical loads
in the Web Application in the normal phase sequence
(e.g. L1-L2-L3), which corresponds to the phases of
voltage measurement.
The connection of all devices to the existing building
installation must take place in accordance with the
locally applicable regulations and standards.
Communication between the charging cable
and energy manager
–The intelligent charging cable has a multi-phase
connection (electrical socket or permanently
mounted):
eMake sure that the phases at the energy man-
ager correspond to those of the charging cable.
–The intelligent charging cable has a single-phase
connection:
eWhen assigning phases in the Web Application,
use the phase to which the intelligent charging
cable is connected.
Connecting an external power pack
eFollow the installation instructions of the manu-
facturer.
g Refer to chapter "Referenced Documents" on
page 5.
eConnect the DC output in accordance with the
terminal assignment of the plug connector for
the power supply (J102) to the energy manager.
eThe power pack is connected to the energy man-
ager via cable. This cable must be prepared by a
qualied electrician.
Connecting RS485/CAN communication
Information
No application for the connection to RS485/CAN in
the soware (08/2019). For future functions, please
note the release information on the new soware
versions.
When connecting the energy manager to the building
installation, there is the risk that the plug for the DC
power supply (J102) will be inadvertently plugged
into the port for RS485/CAN. This can cause damage
to the energy manager. By plugging in the six-pin
plug connector without connection cable (J1000),
which is included with the items supplied, you will
exclude the possibility of the connections being con-
fused.
eInsert the plug connector without connection
cable into the J1000 connection in the energy
manager housing.
Connecting the relay channels
Information
No application for the connection to relay channels in
the soware (08/2019). For future functions, please
note the release information on the new soware
versions.
The scope of supply of the energy manager includes
a corresponding plug connector without connection
cable.
eInsert the plug connector without connection ca-
ble into the J900/J901 connection in the energy
manager housing.

Connecting the current and power measure-
ment
The current and voltage measurement channels are
connected via several plug connections. The required
plug connectors are included in the scope of supply
of the energy manager. If the current sensors or the
cable to the voltage measurement are not or are
incorrectly connected, substantial functional limita-
tions will result.
eWhen connecting the current sensors and
cables to the voltage measurement, note
the device designation. A video describing
a single-phase installation can be found at
https://www.porsche.com/international/about-
porsche/e-performance/help-andcontact/
Connecting to the Device
To use the energy manager via the Web Application,
the end device (PC, tablet or smartphone) and the
energy manager should be connected in the domestic
network (via WiFi, PLC or Ethernet connection).
The Internet connection of the domestic network en-
ables you to use all the functions of the Web Applica-
tion. If there is no domestic network available at the
place of use, your end device can be used to log in
directly to the energy manager via its WiFi hotspot.
eDepending on the signal strength and availability,
select the suitable connection type.
eInformation on the possibilities of the connection
can be found in the
g Porsche Home Energy Manager web applica-
tion
instructions.
Checking the signal quality of the PLC net-
work
Information
The soware and Ethernet PLC converter described
in this section are not included in the scope of supply.
In order to check the connection quality of the PLC
network, the PLC transmission rate can be deter-
mined via the household electrics using soware and
Ethernet PLC converters. For this purpose, the con-
verters are connected to the existing power grid at
the installation locations. Select the installation loca-
tion of the energy manager and of the electrical loads
with PLC functionality (such as the Porsche charger)
as installation locations. Using evaluation soware,
the real transmission rate between the places of in-
stallation can be represented graphically. Transmis-
sion rates of 100 Mbit and above are sucient.
Where electrical installations are unfavorable, PLC
communication may not be possible at all or may be
so weak that EEBus communication to the Porsche
charger is unstable.
eIn this case, select another communication inter-
face (Ethernet or WiFi).
Connecting the WiFi antenna
A WiFi antenna can be connected to boost the WiFi
signal.
1. Connect the WiFi antenna to the energy man-
ager via the plug/screw connection provided.
2. Secure the WiFi antenna using the magnetic
base to the outside of the metallic distributor
cabinet (if the WiFi antenna is inside the distrib-
utor cabinet, no reception is possible). Make sure
that the WiFi antenna is correctly aligned (e.g. at
a 90° angle to the router).
