INSTALLATION DISCLAIMER
RVE does not accept any responsibility and will not be liable
for any loss, damage or expense of any kind whatsoever and
howsoever caused by improper installation of its products,
be it indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages
(including but not limited to damages for loss of business,
loss of profits, interruption or the like). The SMP is compa-
tible with the majority of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment
(EVSE) available on the market, however it is the customer’s
responsibility to ensure the compatibility of all the EVSEs
functionalities with the panel’s load shedding.
REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
Installer is responsible for ensuring that all safety and local
electrical codes are followed.
WARRANTY
Internet connection required (minimum 1 Mbps upstream
and downstream) to access the panel’s power consump-
tion reports and activate the manufacturer’s warranty. The
warranty is valid against defects in the built-in controls for
one year from the date of delivery, provided that the panel
is connected to the Internet and can be accessed remotely.
The warranty is limited to the equipment and components
supplied by RVE Inc. The installer of the panel is responsible
for providing after-sales service to the end customer and for
on-site visits if necessary.

INTRODUCTION
The Smart Metering Panel, hereafter referred to as SMP, ma-
nages Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) power flow
to optimize existing electrical assets and maintains opera-
tional power limits. The SMP consists of a meter module,
relay controller and relay panel (see image below). The typical
system has one 3Φ main meter and up to twenty-one (21) 2Φ
meters with 2Φ power relays

DESCRIPTION
The SMP is an integrated switching control and measuring
system with current transformers for the submetering
modules (or branch modules), magnetic latching power
relays of up to 240/60A and current transformers for mete-
ring the main power supply of the distribution panel (distri-
bution panel not included).
METERING DEVICE
The metering device is an i-meter-45 which is configured to
have a three-phase main meter and a two-phase meter per
branch.
LOAD CONTROL
The SMP is designed to optimize the use of the building’s
electrical infrastructure by ensuring that it does not exceed
the operational limits of the building’s electrical infrastruc-
ture while powering up to 21 EVSE. SMPs sharing a common
power source can be paired together.
The SMP is compatible with Level 2 EVSE: 208/240VAC,
maximum 32A.
* For EVSE up to 48A, please contact us.
INSTALLATION STEPS
STEP 1
Unpack the SMP. Warning: the panel is attached to the ship-
ping pallet with 4 screws ;
STEP 2
2.1 Turn the mounting brackets 90° (vertically) ;
Before After
2.2 Install the SMP on the wall ;
2.3 Check solidity.
STEP 3
Switch off the power supply to the distribution panel.
STEP 4
Drill the holes in the enclosure. (Avoid area marked in red
below)
STEP 5
5.1 Connect the ground ;
5.2 Connect the power cable of the SMP to a 15A
three-phase circuit breaker, an the neutral conductor to the
terminal block provided. Follow the phase order indicated
on the SMP ;

5.3 Connect the distribution panel according to the order of
the phase indicated on the terminal blocks in the SMP ;
5.4 Connect the EVSE from the power relays (terminal blocks
T1, T2) .
STEP 6
Install the current transformers to the 3 main power phases
of the distribution panel and connect them into the SMP
terminal blocks provided for this purpose.
* For larger capacity current transformers, please contact us.
Extension of Current Transformer Wires: The current
transformers that are supplied have a 3m wiring;
however, it is possible to extend the wires. Additional
wiring must be 300V, minimum 16 AWG (1.5mm²), 2
conductors shielded (1 pair) (ex: 16/1PR PVC FT4 or
equivalent). A maximum distance of 100 feet between
the SMP and the distribution panel must be respected.
STEP 7
Connect a network cable providing Internet access to the
Ethernet port (RJ45) on the black computer module of the
SMP .
NOTE
It is important to note the number of each
parking space associated with the SMP panel branch
number. This information will make it easier for the
customer to use the electricity metering reports.
NOTE
It is important to note that these are 0-400A* solid core
current transformers. They cannot be installed without
disconnecting the main electrical conductors from the
distribution panel.

STEP 8
8.1 Open the service entrance circuit breakers (3-poles) and
the charging station circuit breakers (2-poles) in the distri-
bution panel ;
8.2 Turn on power to the distribution panel.
STEP 9 (OPTIONAL)
The hardware required to allow the SMP to be locked with a
lock is supplied (lock not included). If needed, please refer
to the instructions included with the supplied hardware for
installation.
The maximum amperage set point is configured at the
factory according to the information you provided when
placing the order. RVE’s technical support team can
validate and modify this threshold remotely; please email
[e-mail] if needed.
IMPORTANT NOTICES
Ensure that the Ethernet connection is active by
checking that the Ethernet port LEDs are flashing.
When the system starts up, you will hear the relays
gradually open and close.
There is a 5-minute delay between the activation
of each relay to allow time for a vehicle potentially
connected to a EVSE to the maximum charging
current. This ensures that the maximum amperage set
point of the SMP is not reached before moving on to
the next relay.
