SHORT DESCRIPTION

The Wallbox eHOME charging system is specially designed to be easily installed both in
outdoor and indoor private car parks, in order to charge all the EV brands of the market
in MODE 3 (according to European standard IEC 61851-1), by just connecting either its
tethered cable with a type 1 or type 2 connector or connecting the EV cable into the
charger socket type 2.

 Operating Instructions

3.1 Charging procedure

1 — GREEN FIX BAR STATUS

The eHome has a status LED beacon. When it is in green color, it means that the unit is
available and ready to start the charge.

2 — PLUG
To start a new charge process, plug the connector into your car and in the Charge
Point.

3 — BLUE DYNAMIC BLINKING LED STATUS

When the status LED light bar turns into blue, it means that the eHome starts the
charging process. While charging the EV, the LED light bar will be flashing continuously.

07
 WallBox eHome - User Manual

4 — BLUE FIX LED STATUS

When the EV is fully charged, the charging process ends up and the status LED light bar
stops flashing and remains fix in blue.

5 — UNPLUG
At this moment you can unplug the vehicle connector and of the Charge Point if it is
necessary.

6 — GREEN FIX LED STATUS

Once the cable is disconnected, the LED light status bar turns back into green. In this
status, the Charge Point is available to start a new charging process, whenever it is
required.

08
3.2 Status LED light errors

The eHome is capable to detect the following operating errors:

- Ventilation required Error

- Control Pilot Error
- Proximity Error
- Negative PWM voltage Error
- Maximum output current Error
- Temperature Error

Whatever the error case is, the Charge Point will stop charging and technical assistance
will be required, except from the temperature error. In this last case, the Charge Point
starts charging when the operating temperature is reached again.

In the following sections it will be explained how the eHome indicates the above
mentioned errors and the actions taken by the Charge Point.

1 — VENTILATION REQUIRED ERROR

In some old EVs, this stat means that there are some gases coming out from the
batteries. So, an external ventilation in the car park might be required. If it were the
case, the status LED light would turn into red and keep blinking permanently.

1 Blink Sequence

2 — CONTROL PILOT ERROR

When the Charge Point is connected to the EV, a Pilot short-circuit to earth may occur.
Then, the status LED light bar turns into red and flashes in a sequence of two blinks.

2 Blink Sequence

09
 WallBox eHome - User Manual

3 — PROXIMITY ERROR
When the Charge Point is connected to the EV, a Proximity short-circuit to earth may
occur. Then, the status LED light bar turns into red and flashes in a sequence of three
blinks.

3 Blink Sequence

4 — NEGATIVE PWM VOLTAGE ERROR

When the Charge Point is connected to the EV, the PWM signal, used to communicate
the Charge Point with the EV, can be negative. Then, the status LED light bar turns into
red and flashes in a sequence of four blinks

4 Blink Sequence

5 — MAXIMUM OUTPUT CURRENT ERROR

If this on-board current limit selection is not set up according to the hardware features,
the Charge Point detects it and shows this error. In this case, the status LED light bar
turns into red and flashes in a sequence of five blinks..

5 Blink Sequence

6 — TEMPERATURE ERROR
When the Charge Point temperature is below a certain value, it is detected by the
Charge Point. In this situation, the status LED light bar turns into orange blinking. In the
meantime, if the Charge Point is supplied with heater (optional), it starts heating the
inside components until the operating temperature is reached. Then the Charge Point
starts charging again.

10
3.3 Firmware Version

1 — FIRMWARE VERSION
When the unit is booting, the LED bar will show the firmware version in
orange. The first digit of the version will be shown as a certain number
of blinking of the first LED, as many times as the digit indicates, and the
second digit will be displayed by the last LED blinking accordingly to
what the second digit indicates (i.e. for version 1.6, you will see one blink
at the first LED and six at the last LED).
