1. Safety
1.1Important safety instructions ! ! !
1. The operating instructions must be read carefully and the safety, warning and hazard in-
formation must be observed.
2. Functional impairment of pacemakers and other medical aids.
1.2Intended use
The POWER2CAR FUEL is used for charging electric vehicles according to IEC 62196. The product
can be mounted directly on a wall or operated as a free-standing charging pole with the optional stand
available from the manufacturer. The POWER2CAR has a permanently connected charging cable with
a type 2 plug that must be plugged directly into the charging device of the electric vehicle.
1.3Reasonably foreseeable misapplications
The unit is to be used exclusively for the task and in the environment described in the operating instruc-
tions. Lack of maintenance, incorrect or improper use or unauthorised modification can lead to destruc-
tion or malfunction. The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from this and the warranty
expires. The risk for this is borne solely by the operator.
1.4Designs of the charging station and documentation
There are also different documents for the respective versions, which can be downloaded from the In-
ternet as PDF files at www.renz.com.
POWER2CAR FUEL may only be used in a covered area and is described in these instructions.
POWER2CAR STEEL can be used outdoors and in a covered area, for which a separate manual has
been prepared. Various accessories are available for this, e.g. a stand.
POWER2CAR CITY is the same as POWER2CAR STEEL, but the screw-on housing and the cable
holder are powder-coated.
POWER2CAR RIM can be used outdoors and indoors and is described in separate instructions.

1.5Installation, maintenance and servicing
Work on the unit may only be carried out by persons who are familiar with it, have been informed about
the dangers and have the necessary qualifications. In particular, the generally applicable safety and
accident prevention regulations must be observed.
The electrical connection may only be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with DIN VDE
0100! In particular, the local protective measures as well as the valid VDE and EN regulations and, in
the public sector, the DGUV regulations must also be observed! The corresponding safety checks must
be carried out and recorded.
The commissioning of a charging station may require the approval of the responsible grid operator!
Work on the unit is only permitted when it is de-energised (mains disconnection).
1.6Charging cable
The charging cable may only be unplugged by pulling on the plug (not on the cable)!
The charging cable must not be extended!
Protect the plug from dirt and moisture!
The cable must not be kinked, pinched or run over!
After charging, the charging cable is loose again to wrap around the charging station.
The protective cap of the plug must be properly pushed back onto the plug after charging.
1.7Wire cross-section
When selecting the cross-section of current-carrying conductors, both the upstream protection and the
voltage drop due to long cable lengths must be taken into account..
1.8Liability
The function of the unit depends on many influencing variables over which the manufacturer has no
control. The manufacturer cannot guarantee the functional reliability of the unit. No liability is accepted
for consequential damage.
2. Disposal
If the charging station is finally taken out of service, the individual components must be disposed of
properly at a recycling facility..

4. Installation
4.1Placement and surroundings of the charging station
To operate the POWER2CAR FUEL charging station, the device must be mounted on a stable wall.
The position should be selected so that the wallbox is operated free from negative weather influences..
The POWER2CAR FUEL Wallbox may only be used and operated in a covered
area.
When attaching the charging station to the wall, a height of 0.9m from the floor to the lower edge should
be maintained..
Furthermore, when selecting the position, it must be taken into account that the charging station can be
operated directly with the charging connection of the vehicle without additional cable extensions and
that no tripping hazards or similar are formed by the unrolled charging cable..
4.2Attachment
Figure 3
The unit has a wall housing with which the unit is fixed to the wall. The unit is fixed to the wall by means
of the 4 fixing holes in the wall casing using 12 mm dowels and 10 mm hexagonal wood screws.
Dowels and screws are included in the scope of delivery of the unit

4.3Connection or supply line
The connection cable and the corresponding fuse protection must be determined according to the desi-
red charging current, the cable type, the cable lengths, as well as the local and standardised regulati-
ons.
Charging
current
IN
Fuse protection
[A] Typ B Minimum cross section
[mm²]
10 16 5 x 2,5

Each charging point must be equipped with a separate fuse.
Table 1
4.4Residual current circuit breaker
The circuit must be protected by a type A residual current device (RCD) with a tripping current of 30
mA. e.g. ABB F204 A-40/0.03.
This residual current circuit breaker must be installed in the house distribution before the supply line to
the POWER2CAR FUEL Wallbox charging station. Each charging point must be equipped with a sepa-
rate residual current circuit breaker.
The charging electronics in the vehicle can generate a DC residual current which is not detected by the
type A residual current circuit breaker. To protect against these DC residual currents, the POWER2CAR
FUEL Wallbox has an integrated DC monitor. This component detects the residual currents and triggers
the residual current circuit breaker in the house distribution in the event of a fault. This means that no
universal current-sensitive residual current circuit breaker (type B) is required!
Info: Some vehicles (e.g. Renault Zoe) generate such a high fault current during the charging process
that the RCD installed in the distribution system trips sporadically.
The following residual current circuit breakers are immune to these spikes and have proven themselves
in practice:
Manufacturer Type
ABB F204xx
FS453E
FS453M
Döpke DFS 4B SK xx/0,03A
DFS 4 xxx/0,03-EV

4.5Checking the residual current device
Figure 4
The DC monitor integrated in the POWER2CAR FUEL has a test button for checking the residual cur-
rent device. When pressed, a 6 mA DC residual current is generated. The DC monitor then generates
an AC residual current which triggers the residual current circuit breaker in the house distribution sys-
tem.
This function must be checked when the unit is put into operation and later once a year.

4.7Release contact
At the factory, the charging station POWER2CAR FUEL is equipped with a wire jumper between "+"
and "IN" of the terminal strip (table 3 no. 2) of the charge controller. On the customer side, this connec-
tion can be used for an external charging release. In this case, an external potential-free contact con-
trols the charging release (e.g. RFID scanner or similar).

4.8.1 Charging current setting
DIP switches 1 and 2 are used to set the maximum charging current that the charging station makes
available to the vehicle.
4.8.2 Trickle charge
DIP switches 6 and 7 are used to set a fixed charging current which is used when the charging station
goes into the "trickle charge" function.
With trickle charging, a charging process that is currently being carried out is continued with a fixed
charging current if the enable contact is opened during the charging process. Trickle charging is auto-
matically stopped when the vehicle stops charging.

4.9Teach RFID transponder
Abbildung 7
For this purpose, there is a teach button on the RFID reader board. When the button is pressed, the
reader switches to teach mode (recognisable by the fast flashing of the red LED on the reader board).
In this state, the transponders to be newly taught can now be held in front of the reader. As soon as the
RFID reader recognises the transponder, it is permanently stored and the teach mode is ended.
Info: Up to 60 transponders can be deposited with the reader

The POWER2CAR FUEL wallbox uses a type 2 charging plug, which is used in Europe and is sup-
ported by all common vehicles there. The associated charging cable has a length of 5m. The entire
device including the plug is designed for 11 kW, 16 A.
5.3Enabling the charging station for the charging process
Depending on the version, the charging station can be enabled.
If a wire jumper is installed at the enable contact ex works, then the charging process is permanently
enabled.
In the case of RFID, the release only takes place after a taught-in RFID transponder is held in front of
the RFID reader. The charging release is signalled by the front LED lighting up. If the vehicle charging
is not started within 90 seconds after the release, the charging release is automatically deactivated.
