Lan Connection; Tariff-Switching Signal - Mennekes AMTRON Xtra E Instructions D'installation

5.4.4 LAN connection

The charging station can be integrated into a home network
wirelessly over WLAN or wired over an Ethernet cable (RJ45).
Wireless networking
If the charging station is within range of the wireless
network, no additional wiring is required.
For more information on setting up the WLAN connection,
see the Chapter 6.2.2 "WLAN connection" on page 19.
Wired networking
If the charging station should be integrated into the home
network through Ethernet, a suitable network cable with
RJ45 plug must be routed to the charging station.
The network cable must have sufficient dielectric strength,
and be suitable for common routing with live conductors.
MENNEKES recommends using Ethernet cables type Cat 5e
or higher.
Fig. 15: Connecting the network cable
Connect the network cable:
1. Route the network cable into the charging station.
Make sure that the bending radius of the network cable
does not exceed the specified permissible value and the
network cable is not kinked.
2. Connect the plug

5.4.5 Tariff-switching signal

For operating the charging station in mode "external tariff
signal", a connection to, for example, a ripple control
receiver is required.
The tariff-switching signal is connected to the HC controller
with a connector.
 If the off-peak tariff is active, the tariff-switching signal
must be present at the input.
 If the main tariff is active, no tariff-switching signal must
be present at the input.

1 (N) Neutral conductor for tariff-switching signal
230 V AC
2 (L) Phase for tariff-switching signal 230 V AC
Connect the tariff-switching signal:
1. Route the control line into the charging station.
2. Connect the control line as shown to the plug of the
input.
3. Insert the plug into the appropriate plug strip at the HC
controller.
When connecting the tariff-switching signal to an
external voltage source, a note conforming to national
regulations must be attached (e.g. in form of a sticker).
For further information on tariff switching, refer to the table
"Functional description of operating mode External Tariff
Signal" on page 34.
