The following is required to use the charging station:

FEMS App eCharge Hardy Barth cPH2 2T22 Charging Station

The "FEMS App eCharge Hardy Barth cPH2 2T22 Charging Station" is not included in the scope of delivery. This must be purchased separately if not already available.

Installation and operating instructions cPH2 charging station

The "Configuration Manual" for the Salia board should also be read and internalized:
Configuration manual — Salia board

This quick guide refers to the original user manuals.
It serves as an installation aid for qualified electricians in the area of communication interfaces, but is not a substitute for studying the user manuals.

Once the charging station has been installed, it must be connected to the customer network via the two network interfaces (LAN) of the two Salia boards (Master, Slave).

Figure 1. Network interfaces (LAN) — Salia board

On delivery, the two network interfaces are connected to each other with a LAN cable. This cable must be disconnected so that each board can be connected separately to the customer network.

3.1. Connecting the meter

With the cPH2 2T22 model, the two necessary meters are already installed in the charging station. No further work is necessary here.

Figure 2. Meter

From our experience, the meter plug connections on the circuit boards are sometimes a little loose. Make sure that both plugs are connected firmly.

Figure 3. Meter plug connection

3.2. Configuration

The cPH2 2T22 model is already preconfigured. No further work is required here.

By default, the first charging point of the charging station can be reached at the IP address 192.168.25.30, the second charging point at the IP address 192.168.25.31 and so on.
