Functionalities
Cable lock
There is a possibility to activate cable lock on demand even if the charging is not initiated.
- When Cable lock is ON, the locking pin pushes out and fixes charging cable in place.
- When Cable lock is set to AUTO, locking pin behaves accordingly to the charging state the product is in.
- A state - Cable is not locked;
- B/C/D states - Cable is locked;
By default this status is set to AUTO
Settings can only be found in socket variant products
Authorization
There is possibility to turn ON/OFF authorization for TeltoCharge.
When authorization is ON, user have to authorize every time he wants to start charging process. Authorization can be done in two different ways:

OCPP
Open Charge Point Protocol 1.6 is used to connect TeltoCharge to 3rd party Cloud servers. At the moment charger is able to achieve "Core" and "Local auth list management" functions.
Before connecting TeltoCharge to any 3rd party Charge point management server, firstly check if server is compatible with OCPP 1.6 JSON.
If server provider supports this OCPP version, to connect, user needs to type in server URL address and Charge point identity. After all settings are set, enable OCPP with a slider and press Save at the bottom of the screen. User also can see status if charger was connected successfully or not.
More information anout OCPP you can find here.
Ethernet
To connect TeltoCharge with Ethernet just plug in the cable and all needed settings should be set automatically.
In order to be able to type configuration manually, user have to disable DHCP setting beforehand. DHCP slider can be found in the same Ethernet parameters window.
Date & Time
In this tab user can set date and time according to the region in which product is going to be used. It is recommended to synchronize time with phone (button for this action is provided).
Device info
In this tab user/installer can see all the HW information about charger, maximum current set by installer (inside installer menu) and real-time temperature.
Also there is a possibility to restore default settings. With this function TeltoCharge restore all settings to default values except from the Installer Menu ones.
After pressing Check for updates, new window pops up, where user/installer can see information about current FW and update it.
Diagnostics
Here you can download troubleshoot file.
It will be used only by the Customer support engineers while solving risen issues.
This is the menu for installer to reach configuration settings.
After every installation installer must open this menu and set required parameters.
To open installer menu, it is needed to insert Installer code. You can find this code on the sticker, which is placed on the middle plate (under the front plate).
*Installer menu is only for installers or personnel with relevant qualifications.*
Max power from grid
This configuration shall be used in two different ways:
- If you are using Dynamic load balancing, use this value to set the maximum current per phase that can be supplied to the whole electrical installation. Usually this value is the rated current of the main circuit breaker.
- If you are not using Dynamic load balancing, use this value to set maximum current, which charger can use. This value should be calculated according to the possible load, that other appliances can be using, by subtracting it from the maximal current which is provided to the grid. That said, in this situation, current should not be higher than 16 amperes (If 11 kW charger is installed) or 32 amperes ( if 7,4 or 22 kW chargers is installed).
By default this setting is set to 10 Amps
Supply voltage
- Installer can change supply voltage (voltage between phase and neutral wires)
- Different regions can have different supply voltages, so installer can set this value accordingly to the used voltage in the individual site;
Global product: By default this setting is set to 230 V
North American product: By default this setting is set to 120 V
Upper voltage tolerance
There is a possibility to change the tolerance limit for upper voltage threshold. This can be used in the sites where voltage fluctuation is recurring.
By default this setting is set to 10 %
Lower voltage tolerance
There is possibility to change the tolerance limit for lower voltage threshold. This can be used in the sites where voltage fluctuation is big.
By default this setting is set to 10 %
Three phase charging
With this slider installer have an ability to turn off 3-phase charging (only if 3 phases are connected to the product).
By default this setting is turned OFF
Not available in North America products
Phase priority
There is a possibility to select which phase should be prioritized for charging, if 3 phases are connected, but 3-phase charging is disconnected.
For example: if 3 chargers are connected to the same electrical network, it is possible to prioritize different phase for each charger to avoid cutting of the main power.
By default this setting is set to L1
Not available in North America products
Dynamic load balancing
This function is used to turn on Dynamic load balancing. To access this feature it is recommended to read more here
By Default this setting is turned off
Not available in North America products
Energy meter type selection
Be able to choose energy meter type, which will be used for the load balancing. Meter type setting is available in the app and the setting has two options: 1 phase, 3 phase
Use data from energy meter
Option to use data from external energy meter for power consumption calculations. New setting in the app for activating this function. Total values from energy meter also will be used in the OCPP. When this function is activated, dynamic load balancing function will not be active.
Use preferred phase
This function can be used if Dynamic load balancing is ON. With this feature installer can enable charger to use Preferred phase for charging process.
By default this setting is turned off
Connection type
This function let user to select how theirs power input is wired - in Star network or Delta network style.
Global product: By default this setting is marked as Star
North American product: By default this setting is marked as Delta
Use neutral as phase
This function allows user to use electrical network without Neutral wire. L1 then must be connected to N(L1) pin in input terminal.
Global product: By default this setting is turned OFF
North American product: By default this setting is turned ON
Allow simplified charging sequence
There are electrical vehicles which do not use B state to start charging process and charging states goes directly from A to C. For that it requires simplified charging sequence enabled. If this option is turned OFF, TeltoCharge will not start charging with this type of EV connected.
By default this setting is turned OFF
Charging location is ventilated
There are electrical vehicles which requires ventilation (charging is done on state D), because they use lead batteries and it is of great importance to ventilate them.
If EV sends signal to go to state D, but charger is not installed outside and this parameter is set to „NO“- charging will not be started.
If TeltoCharge is installed outside, set this setting to YES.
By default this setting is set to NO
Temperature warning
There is a possibility to increase temperature warning level. When charger reaches this temperature level, it starts to ventilate itself by decreasing charging power. If Charger reaches 80°C it turns off relays and stops charging process.
By default this setting is set to 60 °C
Factory default settings
By using this setting installer can restore Factory default settings. This function restores all settings which were set in the Installer menu as well as in the Main menu.
After this reset yellow LEDs starts blinking which means that charger requires to set-up Installer menu again.
Reboot device
There is a possibility to reboot charger through the Teltonika Energy app.
