3. Commissioning

M002

To install the KEBA charging station, please follow the instructions in the "KeContact P40 / P40 Pro Charging Station Installation Manual".
Installation manual — KEBA KeContact P40 / P40 Pro

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.

Install the KEBA KeContact P40 charging station according to the KEBA GmbH installation instructions.

Please note that the location conditions of the KEBA GmbH apply.

Follow the instructions for the power supply for the KEBA KeContact P40 charging station.

3.1. Ethernet connection

The KEBA KeContact P40 series is connected to the FENECON Energy Management System via the LAN network interface (RJ45). Please follow the steps below.

Connect the RJ45 plug to the LAN network connection X3 provided on the KEBA KeContact P40.

Figure 2. Example of a network connection

In a network, IP addresses are typically assigned automatically via DHCP. In many cases, this is done by the internet router. The IP addresses are automatically replaced after a few weeks/months. This then leads to a communication failure between the FEMS and the charging station. IP addresses can be assigned to prevent this.

3.2. Setting a fixed IP address

We recommend setting up a static IP address for use cases with only one KEBA KeContact P40.

Please make a note of the assigned IP address. The IP address is required below to set up the Symphon-E App KEBA KeContact P40.

3.3. Assigning an IP address via DHCP

After connection to the customer network, the KEBA KeContact P40 is assigned an IP address using DHCP. This IP address can be determined in the DHCP server, e. g. the router.

Please make a note of the assigned IP address. The IP address is required below to set up the Symphon-E App KEBA KeContact P40.

The IP address of your KEBA KeContact P40 can be read out via the KEBA eMobility App (version 1.2) or in the device overview of your router.

4. Configuration

The KEBA KeContact P40 series can currently only be set up using the KEBA eMobility App. Please download the KEBA eMobility App from the AppStore or Google PlayStore.
