Installation method
DANGER
Installation requires access to the properties electrical consumer unit. Ensure that power to it is
isolated before commencing any work.
WARNING
Due to the high and constant current draw, the charge point must be installed on a dedicated spur within the
consumer unit.
CAUTION
The charge point must be installed in accordance with all current safety and legislative requirements relevant to
the location to which it is being installed. If any of the actions listed by the installation method described below
contravene current safety and legislative requirements, they MUST be adjusted to meet the required standard.
If that is NOT possible they MUST NOT be done.
THE INSTALLER MUST ENSURE THE CHARGE POINT IS CORRECTLY EARTHED
It is recommended but not required that an isolation switch should be located near the charge point.
The enclosure lid is removed by removing the 4 black external security-torx screws. A T20 security-
torx driver is required. When the lid is removed, be sure to remove the earth wires from the tabs
inside.
•Electrical protection must be installed within the consumer unit that is suitably rated for the charge
point(s) being installed – reference the identification label or DIP switch setting & current
configuration annex to confirm. The type of electrical protection required will depend on what is
fitted in the charge point (different options are available), the installation arrangement and the local
regulations.
•Choose one of the entry points (rear or bottom) and remove blind grommet for wiring mains into
the unit. Ensure suitable cable gland is used for the application/location of charge point.
•The charge point should be secured to a wall or post as described on page 4. Ensure sealing
washers are placed between charge point and mounting surface.
•On leaving the factory the default maximum charge level will be configured to the maximum rated
current as per the identification label on the unit. Where appropriate; if a lower rating is required
for the installation; the current configuration of the unit must be set to match the installation
requirements. Suitably rated protective devices should be placed upstream. If required; set the
current configuration DIP switch (Fig. C - 8) as per the configuration table on Annex 1. N.B This
function is only to be operated by qualified personnel / installers (not user configurable).
•Pass a suitably rated cable for the current draw, cable length and cable chasing method directly*
from the consumer unit through an M25 gland in the chosen entry point.

Iss 3 - Apr 2019 Page 6 of 15
•Connect the LIVE(s) and NEUTRAL to the correct terminals of the fitted electrical protection or
mains terminal block (Fig. C - 2), observing colours and/or markings on the electrical protection.
The terminals should be tightened to 2Nm (ensure correct orientation of crimp if using crimps
with orientation).
If using 3-phase electrical protection for a single phase install, ensure the test button on
any electrical protection is wired in and functioning
*If you are carrying out an OLEV approved install for WCS, then considerations may need to be made
for installation of WCS supporting hardware
•Connect the EARTH to the mains input earth terminal (Fig. C - 3). THE INSTALLER MUST
ENSURE THE CHARGE POINT IS CORRECTLY EARTHED.
•Inspect all other connections as these may have become loose in transit.
•Replace enclosure lid (ensuring earth leads are reconnected to lid) and secure using the four
supplied screws being careful not to cross thread. Apply force to the lid, compressing the gaskets,
whilst inserting the screws.
•Ensure all cables connected to the charge point are suitably secured.
•Re-establish the electrical connection and, if fitted, test the RCBO/RCD for correct operation.
•After an initial start-up sequence, the LED arrangement should settle and indicate that the charge
point is ready to charge; Halo = blue, Text = white
•Test the operation of the charge point on an EV simulation box/tester and an EV if available.
(Observe Status LED arrangements as below)
•It is recommended that you notify the local DNO that you have completed a charge point install.
This MUST however be done for an install under any OLEV schemes as the guidance for installers
indicates.
•If at any time during the install the charge point and/or its internal components are damaged, you
must stop the current installation and restart it using a new charge point.
•On completion of the install, please ensure
oThe customer receives or is made aware of where to obtain a User Guide.
oThe customer receives a demonstration on how to use the charge point and its features.
oIf fitted, the RCBO/RCD test function is demonstrated and an instruction to test
monthly is passed on.
oThe customer knows how to isolate the power to the charge point in the event of an
electrical fault.
oThe customer receives information on the warranty and what to do in the event of a
claim.
oThe customer receives your contact details in case of any issues that may arise within
the warranty period.

LED Brightness Configuration
WARNING
This is not user configurable and must be set by a qualified electrician / installer as it requires isolating power to
the unit and removing the enclosure lid.
The brightness of the LEDs can be configured if the end user requests. This setting can be configured
using the brightness configuration DIP switch SW3 (Fig. C – 7) and the brightness configuration table in
Annex 1
Procedure
1. Ensure power to the unit is off and has been isolated
2. Remove the enclosure lid
3. Carefully adjust the settings of DIP switch SW3 (Fig. C – 7)
4. Replace enclosure lid and restore power the unit
Using Simple Load Share (SLS)
WARNING
This is not user configurable and must be set by a qualified electrician / installer. Installing and configuring SLS
for EcoLites need to be done with consideration for other components and infrastructure. Misuse of this could
cause fire and injury.
Two EcoLites installed near each other can make use of Simple Load Share functionality. This
integrated functionality, once enabled, will allow two EcoLites to safely share one supply. When two
EVs are plugged in, the SLS system will engage and share the total available power (nominally half to
each to vehicle). If one EV is plugged in or charging, then all power will be made available again.
SLS works in conjunction with the current configuration dip switch (Fig. C - 8), which sets the
maximum available current for the whole system and must be set the same for both EcoLites.
Procedure
1. Ensure power to the unit is off has been isolated
2. Remove the enclosure lid
3. Connect the correct terminals together on each EcoLite as per connection diagram below
4. Use appropriate grommets to bring the chosen wire into and out of the units
5. Carefully adjust the settings of DIP switch SW3 (Fig. C – 7) using the table on Annex 2 as
reference (this table is also printed on the circuit board)
6. Replace enclosure lid and restore power the unit
7. Test the correct operation of the functionality
Note: We suggest using 2 x twisted pair of around 24AWG. Ethernet cable is suitable for this reason.

Primary SLS Configuration
This primary / recommended configuration is for boards using a common SLS wiring type, released from March
2019 (PCB Issue G onwards). It uses an isolated 4 wire system to improve reliability in certain environments.
EcoLite #1 'SLS-' connects to EcoLite #2 '0V'
EcoLite #1 ‘SLS+’ connects to EcoLite #2 ‘SLS’
EcoLite #1 '0V' connects to EcoLite #2 'SLS-'
EcoLite #1 'SLS' connects to EcoLite #2 ‘SLS+'
See table on Annex 2 for configuration of the SLS mode. SW3 (Fig. C – 7) on both EcoLites must be
set to the same.
We advise that a suitably rated MCB equalling the maximum available for the system be placed
upstream of the two EcoLites. This will protect the system & infrastructure in the event of an
accidental miss-configured DIP switch.
Alternative SLS Configuration (for backwards compatibility)
It is possible to utilise SLS with different issues EcoLites; where a previous issue EcoLite has been
installed and wants to be upgraded to use SLS with a newer EcoLite being installed alongside it.
Older issue boards are noted by their terminals labelled IN and SLS, rather than SLS-, SLS+ and SLS.
Alternative wiring and legacy configuration table for older issue controller boards is included on Annex
5.
