Planning the installation

Before installation, consider future charging needs so the solution can be expanded later. The maximum charging current is set during the initial configuration.

Recommendations

• Use a 3-phase installation where possible to future-proof the setup.
• Use the largest approved cable cross section if possible.

Installation instructions

1. Remove the top cover

   Carefully pull back the rubber edge and lift the cover up.

   

   

2. Disconnect the flat cable

   Store the cover safely while mounting the unit.

   

3. Mount the charger on the wall
   • Use a TX15 screwdriver and the 4 supplied screws.
   • Make sure the wall surface is even and flat. An uneven surface can crack the housing when the screws are tightened.
4. Install the wires
   • Strip each individual wire by 10 mm. Ferrules are recommended for flexible conductors.
   • For TN/TT 3-phase (230/400 V), install PE, N, L1, L2 and L3 in the marked terminals.
   • For TN 1-phase (230 V), install PE, N and L1 in the marked terminals.
   • Tighten the screws correctly.
   • Before turning on the power, pull each wire to verify it is properly fixed.
5. Finish the installation
   • Reconnect the flat cable to the cover.
   • Reinstall the cover by gently pulling back the rubber edge and sliding it into place.
   • Install the plastic screws and 4 rubber plugs without overtightening.

   

   

NOFOS chargers are set up and managed through the "NOFOS: Smart EV charging" app, which is available here:

• Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nofos
• iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/dk/app/nofos-smart-elbil-opladning/id1589307196

Download and install the app. After that, set up an account for yourself if you did not already receive those details during the order.

Initial setup

• You set an amperage limit so the vehicle never draws more power than the installation can supply.
• You choose connectivity. At the moment, local WiFi is the supported selection in this flow.
• The charger is registered to your user account.

How to complete the setup

1. Confirm that the product shows the "Ready to configure" animation.
2. Tap the (+) icon in the lower-right corner of the app.
3. When the charger appears as nofos_XXXX, select it.
4. Set the maximum amperage allowed for the product.
5. Select your WiFi network and enter the password.
6. The charger restarts and connects to the selected hotspot.

The charger is now fully configured and visible in the app device overview.

If the WiFi connection fails, the charger retries a few times. If it still fails, the device automatically returns to discover mode so you can repeat the setup.

If the charger becomes unresponsive, reset it by turning off the power supply and holding the interaction button while turning the power back on. Hold for 5 seconds, then release to return to discover mode.

• The authorized electrician has completed the electrical connection correctly.
• The product is configured correctly.
• Check the charging cable and connector for damage, dirt and water ingress.
• Connect the Type 2 plug to the vehicle. Charging starts and adapts automatically to the car and available energy.
• If charging does not start, confirm charging is enabled in the car and that the plugs are fully inserted.
• If charging still does not start, review the installation according to this manual.
