Before installation
The following prerequisites are mandatory to fully commission
the product:
●A mobile device with internet connection.
●Volt Time “Installer App” on a mobile device.
●The product with an internet connection.
Without the Business Upgrade the product
requires a CAT5(e) ethernet cable for internet.

ethernet cable.
●Please install the protection covers into the RJ12 and
RJ45 ports at the bottom of the product.
Optimal charging
For an optimal charging experience the following is
recommended:
●To avoid overloading the main fuses of the building

module will dynamically adjust the maximum
current of the product and provides the option to
charge fully on surplus Solar Energy.
To install the Load & Solar module, go to
https://volttime.com/manuals to download the Load
& Solar module alternative entry manual.
●A 3-phase installation of the product is
recommended if possible.
●Always use the largest available cable cross-section.
The entry via the back can go up to 10mm2.
CAUTION:The grid type as well as cable-cross sections should
be determined by the electrician before installing the product.

installation height is 90cm.
3. The drawing has 4 screw locations. Drill these 4 holes with an
8mm drill bit.
4. The drawing has 1 big drill hole at the bottom. Drill this hole
with a 25mm drill bit so that the AC mains cable can be
connected through the back of the charger.
5. Push M8 wall plugs (4x) into the drilled holes.
6. Place the mounting plate with the flat edge against the wall
and the slits of the mounting plate pointing up- and
downwards.
7. Screw the mounting plate against the wall using PZ2 screws
(4x).
CAUTION:The installation wall must cover the entire backplate
and should be perfectly flat.

Mounting the Source 2
Before mounting the Source 2, unscrew the 9 screws at the
back of the product and take off the cover.
CAUTION: For a socket variant, the cover can not be stored
separately as wires will still be connected to the internals.
Proceed with caution.
1. Cut the tip from the throughput on the back of the product as
well as 4 extra cuts 90 degrees from each othe.
2. Gently push the AC Mains cable through the throughput.
- (Optionally) Push one (or two) CAT5(e) ethernet cable(s)
through the throughput for an internet connection and/or
Load Management installation. Source 2 without Business
Upgrade requires at least one ethernet cable for an
internet connection.
3. Place the product over the mounting plate so that the
mounting hooks fit into the 4 slits of the plate.
4. Slide the product downwards until it snaps in place. Do not
lock the product onto the mounting plate yet with the locking
bolt.
