3.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE EO MINI PRO 3 3.1 PHYSICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Remove the EO Mini Pro 3 from the packaging. The fascia will be the final component to fit and it’s here you will find the “Installer Access Label”. The centre section contains the charger socket and main electrical components. The rear housing contains the Wi-Fi and where applicable the GSM PCB. 2. 1. Figure 1: Box contents. 1. EO Mini Pro 3 front fascia. 2. Main section. 3.
2. After you have verified the stability of the Wi-Fi, and found a suitable mounting location, offer the base of the EO Mini Pro 3 to the installation location; make sure the surface is flat and level. Level the EO Mini Pro 3 base and mark the position of the four holes. Take the EO Mini Pro 3 base away and drill the four holes in the mounting surface. Figure 2: EO Mini Pro 3 backplate. 3. Attach the EO Mini Pro 3 base to the wall using four screws provided.
5. Connect the Live, Neutral, and Earth wires to the charger connector block accordingly. On certain models the connector will positioned on the left. Figure 4: Connector block. 6. If using Ethernet as means of connecting to the client router, feed the Ethernet cable through the second aperture this can be drilled out and a suitable gland fitted. Figure 5: Ethernet cable entry point.
7. The rear charger housing allows for one rear cable entry using the position as shown on the image. DO NOT drill into any other area of the housings as doing so will Invalidate the product warranty and could damage the rear internal PCB. Figure 6: Rear view - cable entry point. 8. If using Ethernet, connect it to the RJ45 female connector located on the Mini Pro 3 circuit board. Figure 7: RJ45 female connector location.
9. If connecting CT clamps for either load management or solar, a four-pin connector block is provided and situated lower right. IMPORTANT: If a separate CT wiring label is supplied with the charger, follow the instructions on this label as will it be specific to the charger version and supersedes this document. Figure 8: CT connector block. Both the chart and image show wire designations for both load management and solar CTs clamps.
From charger to PCB A B A B CT1 CT2 A B ALM A B SOLAR Figure 10: CT destinations. Our supplied CT clamps will have a red and white wire attached to them. The CT for load management should be connected to CT1. Connect the white wire to position A and the red wire to position B. For solar, connect to CT2, with the white wire to position A and red wire to position B. Make sure you orientate the CT clamps correctly when connecting them to the supply cable.
10. Before closing the charger case, make sure the PCB tethering lead is plugged in and connects both front and rear PCB boards together. Make sure the lead is connected in the right-hand female connector of the rear case, as seen in the image. Figure 12: PCB connectors - front to rear case. 11. With all cables securely connected, close the Mini Pro 3 cases together, making sure all internal cabling is not trapped and secure the housings together with the four hex bolts and washers. 12.
EO MINI PRO 3 INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING GUIDE SOFTWARE INSTALLATION EOCHARGING.
4.0 CHARGER INITIALISATION STEPS The charger will require setting up before handing over to the homeowner. The steps to follow will be: 1. Powering up the charger. 2. Locate the installer “Access Label”. 3. Using a mobile device, connect to the charger hotspot. 4. Accessing the charger interface via your mobile device web browser. 5. Logging into the charger user interface using credentials printed on the “Access Label”. 6.
5.0 CHARGER SOFTWARE SETUP 1. Power up the charger. 2. A hot spot will be displayed [only active for 10 minutes]. Example eo-01234567891011 3. Use your Laptop or mobile device to, search for the Wi-Fi hotspot and join it [joining credentials are shown on the “Access Label”]. 4. Once connected to the hotspot, open up your device’s web browser. 5. In the browser address bar type 10.10.10.1 [your browser may warn you with a security message. Accept and proceed]. 6.
6.0 SMART CHARGING Due to UK regulations chargers will, by default, be supplied with a smart charging profile enabled. Figure 15: EO Charging software smart charging page. The default profile will be automatically overridden by the “EO Charging” app during the product registration process carried out by the homeowner. If the charger is to be operated as a non-smart charger and not to be used with the “EO Charging” app, you will need to review this profile to suit the homeowner’s requirements.
6.1 RANDOMISED DELAY This setting needs to be explained to the customer as this will have an impact on how their charging session operates. To explain this feature further: the default setting is 600s which is equal to 10 minutes. When a vehicle connects to the charger, the charger will randomly offer power to a vehicle anywhere between zero and 10 minutes based on the example shown. If the figure is set to zero, the charger will always try and offer power to a connected vehicle immediately when plugged in.
7.0 INSTALLER 7. Once logged in select the “Installer” section. Figure 16: EO Charging software installer page. Here you will need to input the following: 1. Check and set the time according to your location. 2. Enter the charger current limit. By default, this is set at 32A however you may want to reduce this if site capacity is low. 3. Enter your name, company and email address. 4.
5. Check and amend the phase selection and connection where applicable. 6. If an external CT clamp has been fitted, enable the option and enter the CT rating and set the “Type” to “Site” 7. Making sure your CT clamp is connected at the incomer, click “Save + Calibrate”. Figure 17: CT rating and type. CT TYPES EXPLAINED: Source: An external source that is pushing energy into the site. Site: Boundary point into a property which will contain the charger usage within it.
8.0 LOAD MANAGEMENT If you have installed a CT clamp for load management, follow point 6 below or disconnect from the charger hotspot and reboot the device 1. For charger load management, select the “Load” page. Where a CT clamp is fitted you can set parameters for load management. Figure 18: Load balancing. The setting is turned off by default, therefore, slide the toggle on which allows inputs to be made. 1. Set the site limit value. This is the incoming supply value to the property. e.g.
9.0 GSM - EO SIM Guidance for units which are GSM-enabled with an EO SIM. 1. Select the “Network” page from the left hand menu. 2. At the bottom of the page, you will find a “Modem” section showing SIM status details. These settings are not to be changed unless advised by EO Support. 3. Modem Status messages: 3.1 SIM Status: This shows the charger can see the SIM and communicate with it. 3.2 IP: Displays the IP address assigned by the network provider. 3.
10.0 UK SMART CHARGING LEGISLATION AND COMPLIANCE Due to current legislation and charger default parameters, the client can directly access the charger UI and make non-critical adjustments to the “Smart Charging page” by using the “EV” user credentials shown on their specific “Customer Access Label” provided.

Topic Note Torque setting for main chassis screws 6Nm Measures for protection against electric shock Where the EO Mini Pro 3 includes internal 6mA DC leakage protection (DCL option), then a 30mA Type A RCD must be fitted at the supply. Otherwise, a Type B RCD or equivalent should be used. EO recommends a 40A supply for a 32A charging station. Overcurrent protection (e.g. MCB) should be installed upstream of the charging station.
12.0 PEN FAULT DETECTION The EO Mini Pro 3 PME variant, EM301-DCL-PME, has inbuilt PEN fault detection. There are no configuration options required for this feature and it continually operates whilst the unit is powered on. For PME variants, please make sure these are ordered at the point of purchase as cannot be retrofitted.
13.0 WI-FI INTEGRITY & STABILTY Wi-Fi signal integrity: Wi-Fi signal strength depends on a variety of factors, such as how far you are from the router and even the materials of the walls around you. The closer you are to the router, the better. While 2.4ghz connections broadcast further, they might have interference issues. Thicker walls made of denser materials (like concrete) will block a Wi-Fi signal.
14.0 WIRING CONNECTIONS 14.
15.0 EO MINI PRO 3 STATUS LIGHT The EO Mini Pro 3 has a status LED on its front face providing the user with its current status. Below describe the interpreted LED flash codes. The colour of the LED should be interpreted as follows: 15.
