3. Commissioning

M002

To install the Hardy-Barth charging station, please follow the instructions in the "Installation and operating instructions cPμ2 charging station".
Operating instructions cPμ2 German (v1.0)

M002

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.

The plug connection for the LED display can be disconnected if required. This makes it easier to work on the charging station during commissioning.
We recommend checking the plug connection to the left of the Ethernet port on the Salia board, as in our experience this is often loose.

Once the charging station has been installed and configured, it must be connected to the customer network via the network interface (LAN) on the Salia board.

3.1. Connecting the meter

Connect the meter as shown below:

hardy barth zaehler 1
Figure 2. Connected meter

Use the enclosed instructions for this:

hardy barth zaehler
Figure 3. Meter connection
Make sure that the meter is installed the right way round: OUT must point towards the charging station, IN towards the sub-distribution board.

Establish the communication connection to the meter as follows:

hardy barth salia 6
Figure 4. Establishing the communication connection

The negative contact of the cable must be connected to contact A on the meter and to contact 22 (top) on the Salia board. The positive contact of the cable must be connected to contact B on the meter and to contact 23 (bottom) on the Salia board.

3.2. Configuration

By default, the charging station can be reached under the IP address 192.168.25.30 (or 169.254.12.30).

To reach the charging station from your notebook/PC, it is necessary to set up a static IP address in the same subnet (e. g. 192.168.25.1) in the network adapter settings.

  1. To do this, connect the Salia board to your device (here: notebook) via the RJ45 socket, as shown below:

  1. Open your web browser to access the web interface. To do this, enter the following IP address: 192.168.25.30

If problems occur in step 2, proceed as follows:

  1. Open the "Network and Sharing Center" under the system settings of your PC.

  2. Click on LAN connection.
