Danger to life through improper installation! Non-observance of the following installation and environmental requirements can lead to dangerous situations when dealing with electricity.

DANGER!
The electrical system must be dead (disconnected from the power supply) during all installation and maintenance work.
3.2 Requirements for assembly and installation
NOTICE
Cables should be laid based on maximum charging rate of the charging station under continuous load (no diversity). The cable diameters in this manual are indicative. The technician is responsible for determining the correct cable diameter and compliance with applicable standards.
Make sure that the following requirements for the installation of the ICU Compact are fulfilled:
- The cable route from the main distribution to the ICU Compact must be secured with a miniature circuit breaker (MCB) with characteristic B or a screw or blade fuse gG against overvoltage and short circuit
- The cable route must be secured against accidental contact 30 mA by a type A or B-residual-current circuit breaker
- The cable route and the charging station are part of a TN-S system; the device is grounded via the main distributor
- The cable route must be laid in accordance with applicable standards
- The cable tray is made of copper cable with a maximum conductor temperature of at least 90 °C
NOTICE
Installation requirements may be dependent on the location.
The table below shows the safety options and the necessary cable diameters:

4. Commissioning the charging station
4.1 Safety instructions before operating
Follow the below safety instructions before putting your charger into operation:
- Make sure that the charging station is securely connected to the house supply line as specified in this manual
- Make sure that the supply line in the house distribution is separately protected by an appropriate circuit breaker (B-characteristic)
- Make sure that the built-in charger or external upstream RCD is switched on
- Make sure that the charging station has been installed in accordance with this guidance
- Make sure that the housing is always locked in normal operation
- Make sure that the charging cable is not twisted and make sure that cable, charging plug and housing are free of damage
4.2 Putting into operation

- The door lock is activated
- The red LED lights up for one second continuously
- All LEDs light up for one second continuously
- The red LED flashes five times, so that the electronics are started
- All LEDs go out
- The ICU Compact is now ready for charging
5. Connectivity
5.1 Back End Systems
You are in possession of an intelligent ICU charging station that can communicate with a back end system through an internet connection. Back end systems allow you for example to view the energy consumption of individual users, remotely control charging or monitor the charging station for service purposes.
If you signed a contract with a back end supplier or with Alfen ICU B.V. (for provision of ICU EZ back end services), your charging station is configured to connect to the respective back end ex-factory. The internet connection may be facilitated via GPRS (SIM card) or via UTP (Ethernet) cable connection.
In case you opted for a GPRS (SIM card) connection, your charging station is already equipped with the correct SIM card. The charging station will establish a connection to the internet as soon as it is turned on. In case there is no SIM card in the SIM Card Slot (⑬ on the left of the cover), please contact your back end provider or Alfen ICU.
The following paragraphs describe how to connect your charging station via UTP (Ethernet) cable to the internet.
5.2 UTP (Ethernet) connection
Which cable is required?
A UTP cable of minimally CAT5 is needed to connect the charging station to the Internet. This cable is suitable for speeds up to 100Mbps.
Installation
- Connect the UTP cable to your router
- Turn off the power of the charging station by putting the main switch to the 0 position
-
Connect the UTP cable to the Communication Unit of the charging station (16) on the left of the cover)
-
Turn on the power of the charging station by putting the main switch to the 1 position
- In order for your charging station to communicate with ICU EZ through a wired UTP ethernet connection, your network setting should be adjusted if these are additionally secured. Below you will find the necessary information to allow access through your network:
• IP address ICU EZ: 93.191.128.6 - Port: 9090
- Inbound – Outbound
It may be possible that a MAC address is required. This is stated on the FAT report of the charging station. This report can be provided by Alfen ICU.
NOTICE
Please also make sure that your network settings allow the charging station to undiagnostics and updates via a secure FTP connection to ICU servers.
5.3 Registering your ICU EZ account
If you would like to sign a contract with ICU for provision of ICU EZ back end services, go to www.icu-charging-stations.com/ez-english
NOTICE
Please always activate your ICU EZ account first. Only connect the charger via UTP cable to the Internet after ICU confirmed that your account has been activated.
- Fill out the digital form. Please add the imprinted card numbers of all of your ICU charging cards supplied with your ICU charging station in the "Comment" field
- Click on "Send"
- ICU will process the form and activate your account. Your login details will be sent to you as soon as possible
- You can login to the website www.icu-ez.com with your received account information
- After logging on to ICU EZ you can see if your charging station is online. This will be shown with the status "Available". If your charging station is not yet connected, it will show the status "Planned"
