Hoe installeer ik een Ohme Home Pro?

The installation must be compliant with the IET Wiring Regulations and the IET Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment. Installation should be carried out by a competent electrician with appropriate knowledge of EV charge point installations.

Step 1

u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=u00227043u0022u003eThe Ohme Home Pro is designed to be wall mounted to a flat surface. Fixings are included which are suitable for most wall surfaces (e.g. brick/render) but the installer should select their own fixings if these are not appropriate.u003c/pu003ernu003cp data-renderer-start-pos=u00227275u0022u003eAttach the back plate to the wall using the four fixings supplied.u003c/pu003e

Step 2

Mount the unit, carefully guiding the three lugs into the rear of the unit.

Step 3

u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=u00228474u0022u003eUse the supplied three M4 short machine screws to fix the unit to the back plate.u003c/pu003e

Step 4

u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=u00227554u0022u003eThe Ohme Home Pro is supplied with a one metre fixed input cable/flying lead requiring termination on-site to a suitable junction box, isolation switch, or mini-CU (not supplied). The flying lead conductors are 6mm2 copper, the overall diameter is 15.2mm, suitable for a No. 6 cable cleat.u003c/pu003ernu003cp data-renderer-start-pos=u00227845u0022u003eTo connect, typically an installer will either:u003c/pu003ernu003cp data-renderer-start-pos=u00227894u0022u003e·  Install a junction box at ankle heightrn·  Feed the input cable through a wall and terminate on the other sideu003c/pu003ernu003cp data-renderer-start-pos=u00228009u0022u003eu003cstrongu003eNote: The junction box needs to be rated to at least 32A, have sufficient IP rating for the location, and have space for a three-way terminal block (no load balancing) or five-way terminal block (with load balancing).u003c/strongu003eu003c/pu003e

Step 5

u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=u00228239u0022u003eThe Ohme Home Pro has a dynamic load-balancing feature. A current sensor (CT) clamp is provided to measure the electrical demand of the property, or sub-board. The unit will limit the maximum current available to the vehicle to keep the household demand below the set threshold/fuse value.u003c/pu003ernu003cp data-renderer-start-pos=u00228530u0022u003eWhere load balancing is activated, if the CT clamp is removed, installed in the wrong location or is faulty, the unit will revert to charge at a maximum of 16A. It is therefore sensible to ensure the spare capacity, after taking account of other loads and diversity, is at least 16A.u003c/pu003e

Step 6

u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=u00228832u0022u003eThe charger comes complete with a cable holder and charging gun holster to retain the cable and vehicle connector when not connected to the vehicle. Use a further four fixings to mount these to the wall.u003c/pu003ernu003cp data-renderer-start-pos=u00229037u0022u003eOnce the charger is installed and connected to power it will turn on and be ready for commissioning.u003c/pu003e

Storage while not in use

u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=u00229174u0022u003eWhen the charger is unplugged from the vehicle it must be stowed away correctly.u003c/pu003ernu003cp data-renderer-start-pos=u00229256u0022u003eWrap the cable around the cable holder.u003c/pu003ernu003cp data-renderer-start-pos=u00229297u0022u003eThe charger plug must be pushed into the holster, you will hear a click when it is locked in place. This protects the charging pins from the elements. Push the button on the top of the holster to release the charging plug.u003c/pu003e
