Functionalities
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:
- By swiping the Slider in main menu;
- By using NFC card;
By default user have to set authorization status in the first set-up.
Load balancing
There is possibility to set maximum amperage at which charger can operate. User can change current from 6 Amps to the maximum installer set inside installer menu.
By default this setting is set to 10 Amps
NFC
There is possibility to add/update NFC cards. Just press "Add new card", name your card and then touch the NFC card to the side of the charger. It should add it successfully.
More information about NFC cards can be found here.
By default 0 cards is going to be added to white list.
Connectivity
In the connectivity tab user can connect TeltoCharge to internet or even internet server. Just select which technologie you want to use to connect it.
WiFi
To connect Teltocharge to WiFi, just open WiFi tab, select your network, insert password and press save. After a few seconds you will see, that you are successfully connected.
Mobile
To connect TeltoCharge to cellular data first of all nano SIM card have to be installed inside the charger. After that just enable mobile internet in the connectivities tab. Mobile internet tab also has got some configurations which can be set by user. User have ability to set PIN code, APN adress, username, password, dialing number.
OCPP
Open charge point protocol 1.6 is used to connecte 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, first of all check if server is compatable with OCPP 1.6 JSON. If everything is okay, to connect user need to insert server URL adress and Charge point identity. After all settings is set pres enable OCPP and save it. Also user have ability to see status if charger is connected succesfully or not.
Ethernet
To connect TeltoCharge with Ethernet just plug cable and all settings should set automatically. User also have ability to turn off DHCP and set configurations mannually.
Date & Time
In this tab user can set date and time according the region where charger is going to be used. Recommendation is to sync time with phone.
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 possibility to restore default settings. With this function TeltoCharge restors all settings to default values except for installer menu.
By pressing chek for updates it opens new window, where user/installer can see information about current FW.
Firmware update can be done in the same window.
This is the menu for installer. After every installation installer mus't open this menu and set configurations.
To open installer menu, you have to insert installer menu code. You can find this code on the charger mid plate. Installer menu is only for installers or personnel with relevant qualifications.
Max power from grid
This configuration can 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 suplied 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 charger can use according to the other appliances load. That means in this way current should not be higher than 16 ampers, (If 11 kW charger is installed) or 32 ampers ( if 7,4 or 22 kW chargers is installed).
By default this setting is set to 10 Amps
Supply voltage
- Installer have ability to change supply voltage (voltage between phase an neutral wires)
- Different places can have different supply voltages, so installer can set it according to the voltage in the site;
By default this setting is set to 230 V
Upper voltage tolerance
There is possibility to change the tolerance limit for upper voltage. This can be used in the sites where voltage fluctuation is big.
By default this setting is set to 10 %
Lower voltage tolerance
There is possibility to change the tolerance limit for lower voltage. 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 ability to turn off 3-phase charging if 3 phases are connected.
By default this setting is turned off
Phase priority
There is 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 electric network, there is ability to prioritize different phase for each charger to avoid power cut off.
By default this setting is set to L1
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
Use preferred phase
This function can be used if dynamic load balancing is on. With this feature installer can set to use preffered phase for charging process.
By default this setting is turned off
Allow simplified charging sequence
There are electrical vehicles which do not use B state to start charging process and charging states goes from A to C. For that it requires simpified charging sequence. If this option is turned off, TeltoCharge will not start charging if this type of EV will be 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. If EV sends signal to go to state D, but charger is not installed outside and this configuration is set to „NO“. Charging will not start charging. If TeltoCharge is installed outside, set this setting to YES.
By default this setting is set to NO
Temperature warning
There is possibility to increase temperature warning level. When charger reaches this temperature level, it starts to ventilate itself by decreasing charging power. If Charger reach 80°C it turns off relays and stops charging process.
By default this setting is set to 60 °C
Factory default settings
By using theese settings installer have ability to restore factory default settings. This function restores all settings which were set in the installer menu and in the main menu.
After this reset yellow LED's starts blinking which means that charger requires to set-up installer menu again.
Reboot device
There is possibility to reboot charger through the Teltonika Energy app.
