Rolec Services Ltd cannot accept any responsibility for improper installation or any problems arising from improper installation. NOTE: Damage to the equipment, connected systems or to property caused by improper installation are the responsibility of the installer.
Users may need to consider an external antenna and/or booster to their Wi-Fi system to reach remote chargepoints. For Commercial installations, VendElectric is Rolec EV’s chargepoint management platform. Other preferred partners are: Monta, Fuuse, and ChargePlace Scotland, but others include Parkable and Ampeco.

Product Overview NOTE: The United Kingdom has introduced new regulations (SI 2021/1467) that apply to domestic and private EV chargepoints, and which aligns them with other ‘Smart’ appliances. The new regulations are, amongst other things, designed to balance demands for power and to deliver an efficient use of power across the country whilst maintaining a consistent and secure service to EV drivers, when and where they need it.
Rolec chargepoints are pre-configured to load balance with a 13A ‘buffer’. This means that whatever the property fuse may be, load balancing will start 13A before its maximum limit is reached.
NOTE: Where a Rolec Load Balancing Current Transformer (CT) has been installed and connected to a load balancing enabled Rolec chargepoint, it will reduce the supply of power to the vehicle where the combined demand of the property and vehicle would exceed the power available to the property as a whole.
Product Overview About PEN Protection The TruePEN system removes the need to install a dedicated earth for the chargepoint. In the event of a fault, the system will break all power cable connections between the chargepoint and the vehicle. A PEN fault is most commonly seen as either, an undervoltage or an overvoltage entering the chargepoint from the mains supply.

Units using mobile networks require a suitable signal of 14 CSQ or better. Units using Wi-Fi connectivity require a strong, stable connection. Rolec cannot be held responsible or accountable in the event that a unit using a mobile network or Wi-Fi is installed in a location without adequate network signal.
Installation 2. Make sure the electrical power available at the site is sufficient for the desired power output from the chargepoint. Chargepoint output power is managed by the chargepoint based on information about the site entered into the Configuration Application after installation.

Installation Install the Chargepoint IMPORTANT: All electrical work must be performed in accordance with the current legislation applicable in the geographical region of the installation. CAUTION: Equipment Damage – Sensitive Equipment If you will be performing insulation resistance tests on the power supply cables, it is advised to be done BEFORE connecting the power cable to the chargepoint.
Page 22
Installation CAUTION: Equipment Damaged Do NOT use the enclosure as a drilling guide. Dust/debris can damage components and will invalidate the warranty. 4. Place the fixing template (supplied in the packaging) onto the chosen mounting location. 5. Make sure the template is upright and level then mark the fixing points so that the chargepoint will be level and level when installed.
Installation IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the installing engineer to satisfy themselves, that all accessible cable terminations throughout this product are secure and have not become loose, strained, or disconnected during transit and/or installation. 11. Switch ON the power to the chargepoint and test in accordance with the current legislation applicable in the geographical region of the installation.
Installation Figure 14 CT Clamp Positioning Extend the CT Cable If required, the CT cable may be extended up to a theoretical maximum of 100m. To avoid interference and reduce the loss of signal, extension cables should be as short as possible. Extensions of 20m or less are recommended. Extension cables must be a screened ‘Twisted Pair’.
Installation Connect the CT Cable to the Chargepoint IMPORTANT: A suitable cable gland must be installed to the chargepoint enclosure to accept the CT cable and maintain the IP rating of the enclosure. 1. Locate the EV Charge Controller enclosure and the connector marked CT.

Installation NOTES: Load Balancing 1. If extending the CT cable or adding Connections a solar monitoring CT, the cable colours will be those that you have chosen to use. 2. The lower two terminals on the CT Solar Monitoring connector may be used to attach a Connections CT used with a solar system.
Installation Configure Load Balancing Configuration of the load balancing system is performed using the Smart Application as part of the online configuration process. The main fuse or circuit breaker in the property’s consumer unit should be labelled to state the maximum load. The load balancing system must be set to the same figure (or lower) than the main fuse or circuit breaker.
This chargepoint can be managed by any Open Chargepoint Protocol (OCPP) 1.6J compliant chargepoint management system and can receive over-the-air updates. If Rolec’s own VendElectric service is NOT going to be used, another service provider will be required to provide chargepoint management services. Chargepoint configuration will need to be performed in accordance with the alternative provider’s instructions.
Chargepoint Installation Completion After Configuration 1. Once configuration is complete, the Host (owner) will need to install the chosen provider’s application to their smartphone. 2. Engage with the customer to install the appropriate application to their smartphone (or similar device) from either the App Store for Apple devices or from Google Play for Android devices.

Chargepoint Installation Completion 7. If the WallPod has anti-tamper security built in, install the supplied plugs into the front fascia securing holes. One plug contains a magnet which is used as part of the anti- tamper security system. The magnet plug (shown here in red) MUST be installed into the top right-hand securing hole.
Operation Operation As a ‘Smart’ product, this chargepoint can be operated and/or monitored by a wide range of web enabled devices. Alternatively, it may be operated manually via an RFID card/fob. VendElectric EV Driver Application The VendElectric EV Driver Application is a free download for use with smartphones running Google Android or Apple IOS.
Operation 7. If you are present when power for charging is made available, the status indicator will change to show a fixed green light. NOTE: Default Hours and Randomised Delay Following the initiation of the charge session, UK regulations require chargepoints of this type to apply power for charging during the ‘default’...
Operation About Charging Cables and Sockets The points below apply to Rolec cables and will be similar for cables made by other manufacturers. Always follow the manufacturer's advice. 1. Charging cables should be fully uncoiled when in use. 2. Charging cables should not be stretched or place strain on the chargepoint or vehicle connections.
NOTE: In the event of a hardware issue, always contact your installer first. If damage has been sustained to communications devices and/or other ‘Smart’ components, it is recommended that an approved Rolec installer is called to perform the repair. Damage caused to the equipment by misuse, lack of maintenance, inappropriate maintenance or modification is not covered by the manufacturer warranty.
Maintenance 6. Do NOT allow charging cables to become contaminated with water (or other substances). Always store cables in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. NOTE: Rubber ‘dust’ caps that may be attached to cables are only suitable for short term protection, or protection whilst stored in an indoor environment. They are not designed to fully protect against water ingress.
