Instead, it is reduced to the minimum charging power for approx. 5 min to avoid an interruption in charging after the vehicle has fre- quently switched charging on and off. ENECTOR with KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter for blackout protection (house connection monitoring) Blackout protection (house connection monitoring) The house connection is monitored when charging the electric vehicle.
The wallbox is booting. All LEDs off The wallbox is in energy-saving mode or switched off via the line circuit breaker. Flashing The wallbox has been locked via the KOSTAL quickly Smart Energy Meter. Lit up Wallbox active. After 10 minutes in this status, energy-saving mode is activated and the LED goes out.

Blackout protection (house connection monitoring) NOTE Here, the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter monitors the amount drawn from the grid. If the grid demand exceeds the maximum current (e.g. 63 A per phase) configured in the wall- box, the charging power of the wallbox is reduced to remain below the maximum house connection capacity.

5.1 KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter connection For blackout protection (house connection monitoring), Solar Pure Mode, Solar Plus Mode or Lock Mode, a KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter with activated convenience func- tions is required; this is coupled to the ENECTOR via RS485.
Certain operating modes can only be switched via the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter (KSEM) using an activation code. So that this does not always have to be done via the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter, an op- tional push-button can be installed on the underside of the housing. You will find a descrip- tion of the function in Operating modes, Page 22.

Setting up wallbox in the KSEM 7.1 Possible configurations The wallbox must be set up in the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter (KSEM) so that the KSEM can control the wallbox or the wallbox can read data from the KSEM. There are two ways of doing this: ■...
With a PV system, functions such as Solar Pure Mode or Solar Plus Mode are possible. These can be selected as a function via the KSEM interface or using the KOSTAL Solar App. An activation code is required to set up the wallbox in the KSEM. NOTE In order for the wallbox to be set up in the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter (KSEM), this function must first be activated via an activation code in the KSEM.

All KOSTAL inverters and the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter must be assigned to a PV sys- tem in the KOSTAL Solar Portal. If this was not been done when setting up your PV sys- tem, you must do it now.
(house connection monitoring) If the ENECTOR is connected to a KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter and this is only to be used for blackout protection (house connection monitoring), the RS485 interface used must be configured in the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter.
