1. Compatibility
Smappee hardware
EVBox car charging stations are only compatible with Smappee Smart EV charging if one of the
available preconfigured Smart Charging kits is used or when a Smappee Infinity setup with Genius as
gateway is used. In the latter case, Smart Charging Connectors must be purchased separately.
Compatible Smart Charging kits:

Smappee Smart Charging kits use a Smappee Connect as gateway, whereas Smappee Smart Charging
Plus kits use a Smappee Genius. All kits are available in a 50A version and a 100A version for the UK
market.
If the Smappee Genius gateway is purchased separately and not as part of a Smart Charging (Plus) kit,
a set of Smart Charging Connectors is required:
IMPORTANT: Smappee Smart EV charging won’t work with a Smappee Connect
unless this gateway is part of a Smart Charging kit.
IMPORTANT: The components in the kit (Power Box, CT hub(s) and Connect or
Genius unit) are pre-configured and are specific to one kit. These components
cannot be used with a different kit.

2. Smappee Smart EV charging
Smappee Infinity ensures autonomous overload protection and optimal charging of the electric vehicle
while it cleverly manages the energy flows so users can live, work, and relax without compromising on
comfort.
Smappee optimises the energy available from solar and other renewable energy sources to ensure it
is maximised throughout the day. It does this while making sure your EV always has as much charge
as you want by the time you need it according to unique Smart Charging schedules.

3. Installation Procedure
The installation procedure consists of the following steps:
Physical installation: the physical installation of the car charging station and all
Smappee Infinity components.
Configuration: the connection between car charging station and Smappee system.
Validation of the installation: checking the connection.

4. Physical installation
WARNING: For safety purposes, it is necessary to power offthe installation before
proceeding with the physical installation.
Smappee physical installation
Install the Smappee Infinity according to the installation manual. Download the installation manual at
smappee.com/smappee-manuals. Do not start the configuration via the app yet!
In order to connect with a car charging station, make sure that:
•At least the following loads are measured with a CT (Check how to configure CTs in
section 5 and 8 of the Smappee Infinity manual).
oGrid
oCar charging station –Appliance
oSolar (if present)
•The Smappee Power Box is installed on the same electrical group as the charging station.
•The phase mapping of the Smappee Infinity is the same as the phase mapping of the
EVBox car charger.
•If you have a preconfigured Smart Charging kit, take notice of the stickers on the CTs
which indicate to which load they should be attached.
IMPORTANT: The following steps assume that the Smappee Infinity physical
installation has been completed. If this is not the case, please follow the
installation manual at smappee.com/smappee-manuals.

English –Version 1.2 –January 2021
In order to enable communication with the EVBox car charging station, a communication cable must
be connected between the Smappee Connect or Genius gateway and the charging station. The
required connectors are supplied in the preconfigured Smart Charging kit, or they can be purchased
separately. The cable itself is not supplied by Smappee. It is recommended to use a RS-485 or CAT 5/6
cable.
Install the communication cable along the route from the Connect or Genius unit to
the charging station. Leave enough cable at each end to make the connections.
Install the RJ10 connector (supplied) on the Connect or Genius unit end of the network
cable:
Note: The unused wires of the network cable remain unconnected. When a Genius
unit is used, connect the RJ10 Splitter (supplied) to the unit.
Connect the RJ10 connector to the RJ10 Splitter or to the Smappee Connect.
Continue with connecting the network cable to the charging station in the next
section.

WARNING: Make sure that it issafe tosupply power. All wiring connections must
be completed and the cover must be on the charging station and secured.
Supply power to both the Smappee Infinity installation and the EVBox car charging
station.
Use a digital multimeter to ensure that the phase mapping of the Smappee Infinity is
the same as the phase mapping of the EVBox car charging station. Please note that the
colour code inside the fuse box and/or the phase numbering may be incorrect.
Note: 0 volts is measured when both loads are on the same phase.
Ensure that the stickers on the CTs or CT Hubs match the load they are measuring. The
sticker with a car icon should measure the EVBox charging station, the house icon
should measure the grid, and the sun icon should measure solar production (if
applicable).

5. Configuration
EVBox Smart Charging is configured using the Smappee Energy Monitor app. This app can be used
from the installer’s or user’s smartphone or tablet.
When the Smart Charging has been configured, the user uses the Smappee Energy Monitor app to
monitor their energy usage.
IMPORTANT: The configuration procedure is different for preconfigured Smart
Charging kits than for Smappee Infinity products which were purchased
separately. If you do not have a preconfigured kit, please skip to ‘Non-
preconfigured Smappee Genius’.
Preconfigured Smart Charging Kits
Download the Smappee Energy Monitor app onto your smartphone or tablet.
Log in to the app with your username and password on the member card provided
with the kit.
Note: The username and password are unique to the kit and cannot be used on a
different installation.
Note: It is recommended to change the name of the installation to the customer’s
preference (for example, ‘My EV station’)

Non-preconfigured Smappee Genius
IMPORTANT: The configuration procedure is different for preconfigured Smart
Charging kits than for Smappee Infinity products which were purchased
separately. If you have a preconfigured kit, you may skip this section.
Download the Smappee Energy Monitor app onto your smartphone or tablet.
Follow the instructions in the Smappee Infinity installation manual to configure the loads
using the app.
Navigate to the ‘Control’ tab, then to ‘All’, ‘Smart devices’, ‘Add’, ‘Car charging station’,
‘EVBox’. Then follow the instructions shown in the app.
The maximum current that the car charging station can support is
dependent on the type of EVBox car charging station and your electrical
installation. See the EVBox installation manual for more information.
The default minimum current that an electric vehicle needs to start charging is 6 A.
Find the exact value in the manual of the electric vehicle.

6. Validation of the installation
Once the installation is complete, it is good practice to validate the correct operation of the
connection between the EVBox car charging station and the Smappee Infinity.
To validate the physical Smappee Infinity installation, please refer to the Smappee Infinity
manual. Pay extra attention to the following:
•Check if the stickers on the CTs or CT Hubs correspond to the correct load
•In the app, go to Settings –Your Smappee monitors –Load configuration and check
the values to see if they are logical
The procedure to verify the connection between the Smappee gateway and the EVBox
charging station depends on whether a Smappee Connect or Genius is used, as can be seen
below.
Smappee Connect
To check correct operation, verify that the LED is green breathing. If it is red
breathing if there is no valid connection with the EVBox charging station.
Smappee Genius
To check the correct operation, go to Control –All –Smart devices –the car
charging station you connected –Status should state Connected.

7. Set up Smart EV charging
Smappee automatically protects against overloads. The user can set up Smart EV charging
schedules in the Smappee App to make sure solar energy is maximised throughout the day
and the electric vehicle always has as much charge as you want by the time you need it.
To optimise the connected car charging station according to unique Smart
Charging schedules, go to Control –All –Smart EV charging
Proceed in the Smappee Energy Monitor mobile app and follow the steps as shown.
