2. Product description

3. Commissioning

To install the Hardy-Barth charging station, please follow the instructions in the "cPH2 Charging Station Installation and Operating Instructions."
Installation- and Operating Manual for cPH2 Charging Station

You should also read and familiarize yourself with the "Configuration Manual" for the Salia PCB:
Configuration Guide — Salia PCB

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).

Image 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.

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

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.

We recommend that you always use the latest firmware to ensure that all the latest functions of the charging station can be used.
