====== Introduction ======


**Up to 22kW of charging power** - enough to charge electric vehicle for distance of 100km in 45 minutes (calculation made for consumption of 16kWh per 100km)\\
**Modern design with IP54 & IK10 standard** - suitable for indoor and outdoor use as well as customable charger colours\\
**Coloured LED light indicates charging status** - different colour for various charger states \\
**Secure charging with remote locking option** - use RFID card or QR code to unlock and start charging process\\
**OCPP 1.6 communication supported** \\
**Eco charging**
  * Save by charging (eco charging) during off-peak hours
  * Charge with surplus energy
  * Priority charging at the highest possible power
**Long range wireless power meters for installation without cabling** - easy installation & monitoring of the energy consumption\\
**Fully compliant with IEC 61851**\\

:!: **RDC Charger does not require connection to internet for operation !**

===== RDC Charger & HEMS =====

**Home Energy Management System (HEMS)**:
  * Monitoring electricity flows at home (consumption, production, and storage)
  * Control and manage devices (producers, consumers, prosumers)
  * Dynamic Load Management (DLM) keeps consumption power below grid fuses
  * Control up to 8 RDC Chargers (EV fleet)
  * Provide relevant information and help understanding energy flow
  * Minimize cost of electrical energy

**Note:**
  * IOT-L2-2 linker can be installed as external unit or is integrated into the RDC Charger.

===== RDC Charger & EV fleet =====
  * **Control up to 8 RDC Chargers (EV fleet)** 
  * Suitable for multi-apartment buildings, hotels, etc. 
  * Only one charger is master, others are slave
  * Master does optimal operation (Dynamic Load Management) of EV fleet within the building

===== Operation =====

  * If EVSE is enabled and not locked, charging starts automatically as soon as vehicle is connected with power cable.\\  Otherwise, enable EVSE with **short press** on button, by application or use RFID/MIFARE card /QR code.
  * **short press** button toggle enable/pause charging
  * **long press** button toggle priority/eco charging
  * LED indicator for charging status

 \\  

**RFID, MIFARE or QR** \\
  * Unlock EVSE and toggle enable/pause charging

**AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED** \\
  * EVSE need authorization to start charging
  * charging is activated by RFID, MIFARE card /QR code or by application

**ECO CHARGING**\\
  * Allows charging with lower power
  * Charging at low tariff only (depending on tariff table settings)
  * Charging by surplus energy

**PRIORITY CHARGING** \\
  * Utilize all available power to charge as fast as possible
  * Any eco charging settings are ignored 
  * In case of //Dynamic load management// EVSE(s) with //Priority charging// will be limited last
