Installer Tests to be Conducted Post-Installation, Exceeding Regulatory Requirements

Overview

The below tests are additional to any tests that may be required by your local electrical and wiring regulations. Local governments set a high safety standard bar for both cables and EV charging units. Charge points must meet the following standards to comply with government regulations:

For example in the UK see the IET Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation, 5th Edition for compulsory tests. 

Step 1

Check that the time and date are correct and are displayed on the bottom left of the main screen. If
they are not present or are incorrect, set the correct time and date in the Other Settings/Time & Date menu option.

Step 2

Check that the EV will charge in FAST mode.

Step 3

Check the Grid Power reading at the top right of the main screen is showing sensible readings and
the direction of power flow is as expected.

Step 4

With the EV plugged in, switch to ECO mode and check that the charge power is at a minimum (about
1.4kW) OR that it is 'tracking' the surplus power (i.e. the Grid Power reading is 0.0kW).

Step 5

If a Generation CT has been installed, check that the generated power is shown in the top left of the
main screen. If the generation reading is missing, the most likely cause is the associated CT input is not enabled.
