dismantling shall be done only when power supply is switched off on
your service panel.

 Insert the power supply wires through the cable gland (A)
 Shorten the connection wires to the appropriate length (avoid leaving too
much cable margin). The protective conductor PE must be longer than the
other conductors.
 Connect the cables to the J1 tool-free ‘push-lock’ terminals (4).
Connect Line (L) and Neutral (N) as indicated on the board.
 We recommend using flexible cables with the following max. section: - 6 mm
 Connect the earthing wire to the J3 ‘Faston’ terminal (2).
We recommend using FEMALE 6.3 x 0.8 ‘Fastons’, better if with restraint.

WARNING

30
Incorrect installation may cause danger such as serious injury or death.

 The power supply to easyWallbox must be installed on a dedicated


thermal-magnetic miniature circuit breaker (MCB) mounted in the service
panel to protect the electrical circuit.
 The minimum characteristics of the MCB: voltage 250V, nominal current 32A
(in the hypothesis of absorption of the maximum power equal to 7.4kW).
If local regulations do not allow maximum power to be absorbed, the installer
must evaluate the choice of a circuit-breaker with rated current based on the
maximum power allowed in the state of installation, a type C curve for
domestic or similar use is suggested as the trip curve.
 When dimensioning the MCB, the higher ambient temperatures in the control
cabinet must also be taken into account.
 When dimensioning the MCB, the prospective short-circuit current should
be considered. As an indicative value 5kA could be considered but a precise
evaluation must be done before installation. The maximum interrupting
capacity of the MCB must be greater than the evaluated prospective
short-circuit current.
 The MCB must be in line with the section of the wires.
 The installation must incorporate a dedicated and adequate residual current
device (RCD/ fault-current circuit breaker). An RCD with at least Type A must
be used since easyWallbox has an internal DC fault current monitoring of
≥ 6 mA by using an RCM device with a maximum rated primary current of 80A.
 Two 1A and 250V fuses are integrated in the easyWallbox on the logic
supply channel.
 Be aware that local regulations may be applicable and may vary depending
on your region/country of residence. easyWallbox must be installed
according to the local regulations.

Free2Move eSolutions S.p.A. does not assume any liability for damage
caused by non-compliant installation of the device. Installer in
Power Upgrade mode is responsible for completing the installation
at a state-of-the-art technical level and in compliance with
applicable regulation.

- The connection of the Dynamic Power Management sensor requires


an installation by a professional.
- We recommend contacting qualified personnel or service for any
question or doubt concerning easyWallbox’s use, installation, and
maintenance.

Do not try to install the Dynamic Power Management sensor if you


are not a professional electrician. You may put yourself and others in
great danger and cause serious damage to people, animals and things
(e.g. you could cause a fire).

32
A = 25.5 mm
B = 10.2 mm
C = 40 mm
D = 5.91 mm
E = 26.5 mm
F = 6.1 mm

To connect the current sensor:

a. The current sensors must be attached to a single meter output wire.


b. The sensor has a hinge and locking snap which allows attachment
without interrupting the live wire.
c. Join the current sensor wires and twisted cable (recommended
section 0.5 mm2).
d. Bring the twisted cable near easyWallbox.
e. Insert the twisted cable through the cable gland (B).
f. Connect the twisted cable to the J7 ‘push-in’ spring terminals (6)
without tools. There is no particular requirement about cabling
position on the terminal.

4.9.1. DPM sensor installation on a single-phase domestic electrical system
without power generation system (e.g. photovoltaic system)

In single-phase domestic electrical systems, the suitable point to install DPM


current sensor is downstream of energy meter on a single wire of the main
line (phase conductor) that passes the total current consumed by all domestic
electrical loads including easyWallbox itself as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
Once DPM sensor installed the DPM limit should be chosen considering the
maximum current that can pass through the wire on which the sensor is installed.
For example, supposing that the correct position to install the DPM sensor is
the main branch on a single output of the energy meter like Figure 1 and
Figure 2, the DPM limit should be set equal to the maximum power of the energy
meter, which is usually the contractual power.

Figure 1 and Figure 2 have illustrative purpose only and may not represent a
real installation of easyWallbox in Plug & Play mode and in Power Upgrade
mode. Please refer to user and installer manuals and local regulations for more
information about installation of easyWallbox.

4.9.2. DPM sensor installation on a three-phases domestic electrical system


without power generation system (e.g. photovoltaic system)

In case of connection of easyWallbox to a three-phase electrical circuit, the


DPM sensor should be connected only to the same phase that easyWallbox
itself is connected. The point to install DPM sensor must only be on one phase
conductor downstream the energy meter that passes the total current required
by all electrical loads including easyWallbox itself connected only to the same
phase. To avoid fault occurrence due to incorrect measurement of current by
DPM, do not connect DPM sensor to the neutral conductor and other phases.
When easyWallbox is connected to a three-phase supply network, the maximum
current of only one phase (the one that supplies easyWallbox) should be
considered for DPM limit setting.
In case of connection of easyWallbox to a three-phase power supply, phase
balancing (balanced connection of single-phase loads by evenly distribution of
them on the main line conductor of three phases) might be required depending
on local regulations in France.

nuals and local regulations for other information about easyWallbox
installation.

4.9.3. DPM sensor installation on a single-phase domestic electrical system with
power generation systems (e.g photovoltaic system)

The following single line diagram represents connection of easyWallbox to a


single-phase power supply combined with the output of a PV inverter. In such
cases the point to install DPM is not the output of energy meter, but it should
be connected to a single wire (phase conductor) that passes only (It) the total
current consumed by all electrical loads including the easyWallbox itself as
illustrated in Figure 4. The energy meter in PV system applications is bidirectional,
hence in order to avoid DPM failure, do not connect DPM sensor to the output
of bidirectional energy meters. The DPM sensor must not measure the exceeded
power by PV that is feeding back into the grid.
When easyWallbox is connected to a supply network with PV system the DPM
limit should be set considering only the maximum contractual power coming
from the grid not the summation of power generated by PV and contractual
power. easyWallbox does not regulate its power based on the generated
power, but it detects only the variation of all electrical loads connected together
with easyWallbox to the same single phase and so regulate its power depending
on the consumption of total loads (It).

Figure 5 shows a domestic electrical system with PV system which needs some
modifications to create the ideal point for DPM sensor installation. The DPM
installation point represented in Figure 5 is wrong.
In case of modifying the connections of a domestic PV system to make it
compatible with operation of easyWallbox and its DPM sensor, it is recommended
to change it to a model similar Figure 4.

user and installer manuals and local regulations for further information about
easyWallbox installation.
Similar consideration proposed in this section should be applied properly on a
three-phase system with PV system.

4.10. Setting the rotary switch

The installer in Power Upgrade mode should correctly set the Rotary Switch
following the instructions:

Rotary Switch (U14)

1. If the DPM sensor is not installed, choose POSITION 1


2. If the parametrization of DPM will be configured via App, choose
POSITION 2 and configure it easyWallbox PowerUp (chapter 4.12)
3. As an alternative, configure the DPM operation and limits in
accordance with the user’s energy supply contract, following Table 1,
Rotary Switch default DPM

A list of meanings of the Rotary Switch positions follows:

 POSITION 0: Not allowed (reserved)

 POSITION 1: DPM is always turned off

 POSITION 2: DPM can be enabled or disabled via the easyWallbox PowerUp


(see chapter 4.12) or Free2Charge (see chapter 5.2))

 POSITION 3 to POSITION 9: DPM operations depends on the corresponding


max power values [kW] set by default.

4.12. Configuration via easyWallbox PowerUp (service app)

The final configuration for installation should be done via the purpose-built app,
easyWallbox PowerUp.
In detail, qualified personnel who install in Power Upgrade mode should
authenticate this, thus unlocking access to safety-relevant configuration
parameters. The most important for correct operation is the safety limit on
current absorption from the supply. Be aware that easyWallbox will not charge
EVs plugged in Power Upgrade mode unless properly configured in accordance
with the following directions via the app.
The maximum charging current in Power Upgrade mode (‘Safety limit’) must
be the minimum value between the:

 current allowed by the installed power supply, including wiring sections


 current allowed by local applicable standards.

The installation and parameter set-up should be in accordance with


local applicable standards. Please check local updates of standards
before setting up parameters.

41
The following table contains indicative values of maximum currents for each
installation country, to be checked however before any installation:

Country Current limit with Country Current limit with

7. Switzerland 16 17. Spain 32
8. Austria 16 18. Portugal 32
9. Poland 32 19. Norway 32
10. Greece 32

1. Open easyWallbox PowerUp on your smartphone.


2. Accept the safety disclaimer.
3. Scan the authentication QR code available (see chapter 5.2)
4. Enter the ‘Safety limit’ determined according to the above instructions.
This must comply with local applicable regulations and consistent with the
maximum current allowed by the supply wiring.
5. If easyWallbox is configured with the rotary switch (U14) in position 2,
the app defines whether DPM is enabled:
a. If you did not install the sensor in accordance with section 4.9, set ‘DPM’
to Off.
b. If you installed the sensor in accordance with section 4.9, set ‘DPM’ to
On and ‘DPM limit’ in accordance with the user’s energy supply contract.
6. Make sure that the ‘User limit’ is set to a value lower than or equal to
‘Safety limit’ and compatible with the user’s energy supply contract.

If the instructions in this paragraph are not followed, all


parameters remain as initially set for Plug&Play mode.
This reduces easyWallbox’s performance.
