Pico EV Charger

RDC-DD 6mA according to IEC 62955 (Fault DC detection device)

Pico is the Swiss high-tech charging station. It connects directly to the cloud via Wi-Fi or mobile communications. The integrated smart meter exports high-precision measurement data that is signed during transactions and can be validated at any time free of charge. The station can be integrated into a backend (eCarUp), energy management systems and other third-party systems. Furthermore, Pico can be used for both static and dynamic load management (including phase balancing).

Wiring diagram

L1: Phase 1

L2: Phase 2

L3: Phase 3

N: Neutral conductor / Neutral conductor

PE: Protective earth

The protective earth conductor should be attached to the upper connection screw so that the stand is earthed directly together with the station.

The product can only be operated in 3-phase star connection or 1-phase!

Cable routing

The cables can be fed in and out of Pico at 5 points.

Two at the top, two at the bottom and one through the back plate.

When mounting through the back plate, a hole with a diameter of 25-26mm must be drilled.

Details on mounting the stand can be found in the installation instructions in the downloads.

Load shedding (external inputs)

Pico Lastabwurf

Load shedding can also be implemented using only one available signal.

For the configuration from no charge to maximum charge power, the signal is wired to IN1 and IN2 as well as COM.

For the configuration from 6A minimum power to maximum charging power, the signal must only be wired to IN2 as well as COM.

Attention:
The load shedding can either be wired to all Picos or minimally to one from each load group.
This function also works in case of no internet connection.

Alternatively, the load shedding can also be done via the IF/THEN actions and Pico control.
