General description
eCABLE charger is used tocharge batteries of full electric and plug-in hybrid cars (EVSE - Electric Vehicle Supply
Equipment).
The eCABLE has its own charging cable, which is integrated into the charger. At the other end of the charging
cable (which is connected to the vehicle) is a Type1 or Type2 plug installed, depending on type of your car’s
charging inlet. You do not need a separate charging cable for charging, just use the built-in cable.
Electric vehicle’s original accessories are usually including a 230V outlet chargers. These usually charge the
vehicle from a household socket for a very long time because their charging power is limited (usually not
exceed 2… 2.5kW - 10… 12A charging current). The eCABLE is significantly more powerful, so it can be used to
charge electric vehocle much faster than with the low power household-socket charger.
The device is available in six versions, which are capable of delivering different power and are equipped with
different connectors.

Which type of charger shall be used for your car depends on two important factors:
1. What is the max. power (max. charging current) the vehicle’s on-board charger can accept
2. The max. load of local grid at the installation site
During the process of charging electric vehicles, data is exchanged and communication is going on between
the charging point and the on-board charger that is built into the vehicle. This data exchange covers (among
other things) the maximum charging current that the charging station can deliver and the current that the
vehicle's on-board charger able to accept and handle. Therefore, for example, it is not possible to charge a
car with 11kW power in case its on-board charger can handle only max. 6kW charging power. Some vehicles
can be charged with a three-phases, others with only a single-phase current. If the performance of the
external charging point differs from the performance of the car’s on-board charger, that’s not a problem,
but charging will always be at the lower of these two. So the maximum charging current (maximum power)
only indicates the maximum power that the charger is capable to deliver. However, whether you can take
full advantage of the maximum charging power depends on the specifications of the vehicle's on-board
charger.
It has to be considered that an electrical network of a property is a complex system. The wires, the electrical
utility connections are sized for the general needs of the household and there may not be enough reserve in
the system to connect an additional high-power consumer such as an EV charger to the grid. It may not be
possible to use certain electrical consumers during charging process because of overload in the network.
Poorly sized wires can become hot and, in extreme cases, ignite, causing serious property damage and death.
Therefore, be sure to have the property's electrical system inspected by a professional electrician before
installing the EV charger. It may also be necessary to request the electricity supplier to increase the electrical
capacity of the property. (To use eCABLE devices, 3.7kW (1x16A), 7.4kW (1x32A), 11kW (3x16A), or 22kW
(3x32A) electrical power shall be available in the electrical network of the property.)

Using the device
3.1. Introducing the device
3.2. Indications of the LED indicator
The LED indicator shows the status of the device and the charging process. The LED is located inside the device,
its light is clearly visible from a distance through a small window mounted on the front panel.
When the device is powered, the control electronics runs initialization and self-test program. This takes about
5…10 seconds and during this initialization process the LED flashes in different colors. The device then enters
standby mode and waits for a vehicle to get connected.

You have connected a vehicle to the charger that
may release hazardous gases while charging (an
older lead-acid battery electric vehicle) and requires
a fan control. Such vehicles cannot be charged with
this charger!
Flashes red (approximately in every second)
Failure recognized.
3.3. Connecting and charging the EV
You can connect your electric vehicle to the charger with the built-in charging cable. At the end of the charging
cable (which is connected to the vehicle) there is installed a Type1 or a Type2 plug (depending on the type of
your car’s charging inlet). You need to order the device with the right type of plug for your EV.
Type1 connector Type2 connector
1.The LED flashes in blue (approximately in every second)
2. Connect the charging cable to the vehicle. Push the plug into the socket in correct position and push it
perpendicular to the socket until it stops. Do not pull or force, the plug should slide easily and smoothly into the
socket. Be sure to push the plug all the way in. Be sure to run the cable loosely, lying on the ground. Never
stretch, pull, force the cable, but stand closer to the charger with the car if neccessary!
If the device is equipped with an optional key locker, then turn the key to ON position (indicated by a green dot).
The charger will not connect to the vehicle until the key lock is turned ON.
3.Lock the vehicle and / or allow charging according to the vehicle's owner's manual, if necessary - the LED
should light solid blue.

Do not try to unplug the appliance while charging!
4. When the charging process starts, you will hear a clicking sound from the device and the LED will start to light
up continuously green. Charging lasts until the car battery is fully charged or the charging is being stopped.
5. When the car battery is fully charged, the device enters into standby mode (the LED lights solid blue). You can
then disconnect the cable from the vehicle, the charging process is complete. (In some cars, you can only
disconnect the cable by opening the doors and / or stopping charging according to the vehicle's instruction
manual.)
6. If the charging process is still on-going but you want to stop it, then always stop it in the vehicle first! Open
the vehicle’s doors and / or stop charging according to the vehicle's operating instructions. (On some vehicles,
a latch does not allow the cable to be unplugged while charging is in progress.)
When charging is complete, you may unplug the cable from the vehicle or leave it plugged in (the last is
strongly recommended for some car models, as the vehicle can use charger’s AC power to temper the battery
in this case). Place the cable and the plug to the cable holder so that the plug shall not touch the floor. The plug
and cable must be protected from mechanical damages and dirt. Never stand on the charging cable with the
car, as its internal wires may be damaged! If the plug and/or its contact terminals are damaged or dirty, do
not use the appliance until it has been properly repaired!
3.4. Key lock (optional)
If you ordered the device with this option, there is a key lock installed on the front
panel. The key lock does not de-energize or switch off the charger! The key lock in
the charger control activates electronics that prevents the charger from connecting
(exchanging data) with the vehicle. Thus, even if an unauthorized person connects
your vehicle to the charger with the charging cable, the LED will flash blue and will
not charge the vehicle until enabled with the key lock.
If you turn off the key lock while charging (turning it to the disable charging
position), the charger continuously reduces the charging current to 6A in about 5 seconds and then completely
shuts off the charging current from the output. The charging cable can then be unplugged from the vehicle
socket) and the charger switches to standby mode, the LED starts flashing blue.
3.5. De-energizing the appliance
If it is necessary for any reason, you can only disconnect the appliance and the lead-in cable with the circuit
breaker switch installed in the local electrical distribution cabinet by the installer. Label this power switch!
3.6. Limiting the maximum charging current
Charging your vehicle with the maximum charging current of the charger sometimes may overload your home
electrical network. This can especially happen if several high-power consumers operate in the property in
parallel (e.g., electric boiler, electric oven, air conditioner, washing machine, dishwasher, and car charging, etc.)
then the electrical overcurrent protection of the property is activated and one or more fuses (circuit breakers)
green dot (ON - charging enabled)
red dot (OFF - charging disabled)

in the electrical distribution cabinet are switching off. If this is rare, it turns occasionally then turn off one of the
consumers and turn the fuse back on. Avoid using high-power consumers in your household at the same time
as charging the vehicle.
However, if you regularly overload the home network while charging your car, you have the following options:
• Ask your electricity supplier to increase the electrical performance of the property (this might be an additional
paid service)
• The maximum charging current of the charger shall be limited. This means that the charger will charge the
vehicle with less power (and of course little slower).
The maximum charging current of the device can be reduced in one ampere steps up to 6A. To do this, the
removal of the cover of the appliance is required, hence only a qualified electrician shall do it!
Setting the charging current limit is described in the installation guide supplied with the device.
