EV Charger - Select EV Charger Configuration

Hi,

Had to change my WIFI, therefore change the codes etc., which means I need to update the EV Charger and Inverter.

Had an issue with the Charger, as I was not expecting to change anything other than the WIFI.

I needed the WIFI, but also the DNO Fuse and Configuration info.

In brief I found the info in the portal logs for the charger, and the config was set to "C" - CT Meter. I set it to that, it worked before, and saw no reason to change.

However, what do the 3 setting on the APP and the 5 on the web portal mean, and what are their use cases ??

What I have found;

Configuration settings available with the GivEnergy EV Charger

Configuration A: Basic installation with no solar installed.

Summary of installation:
• EVC installed with internet connectivity and mains supply only
• Charge modes available: Grid, Schedule
• Controlled by: RFID Tag, App (iOS / Android)

Supply cable run between the consumer unit and the EV charger. A Cat 5/6 cable runs between the router and the EV charger if using LAN.

Configuration B: Installation with third party solar with no grid meter installed.

Summary of installation:

• EVC installed with internet connectivity and mains supply only
• Charge modes available: Grid, Schedule
• Controlled by: RFID Tag, App (iOS / Android)

Supply cable run between the consumer unit and the EV charger. A Cat 5/6 cable runs between the router and the EV charger if using LAN.

Configuration C: Installation with third-party solar inverter and has a dedicated EV charger grid meter

Summary of installation:
• EVC installed with internet connectivity, mains supply, wired comms cable, and compatible meter
• Charge modes available: Grid, Schedule, Hybrid, Solar
• Controlled by: RFID Tag, App (iOS / Android)

Supply cable run between the consumer unit and the EV charger. A Cat 5/6 cable runs between the router and the EV charger if using LAN. Appropriate meter (EM115/GEM120) sited near the consumer unit or cut out. EM115/GEM120 meter CT clamp attached to the live supply tail with the arrow pointing towards the consumer unit grid feed cable (to monitor export). Data/comms cable from the EM115/GEM120 meter to the charger RS485 port (Cat 5/6 cable)

Configuration D: Installation with GivEnergy inverter (cloud-based control)

Summary of installation:
