Modbus TCP/IP communication:

Charging stations support Modbus TCP/IP communication protocol, what enables third party home automation systems to monitor and control each charging station connected to local Wi-Fi network. Modbus MASTER device can read real time charging power, current, voltage and charging energy information from the charging station as well as set the charging current. Required Metron MODBUS TCP/IP REGISTER TABLE is available for download here: Metron MODBUS TCP/IP REGISTER TABLE

Over-the-air (OTA) software update:

OTA update can be performed by any user via internet, using Metron Device Access application. The update process is fully automated and requires charging station to have internet access via Wi-Fi.

NOTE: Older versions of our smart charging stations can also be upgraded to gain all the latest features. Please contact us for further instructions.

Green production

All our products are produced in a carbon neutral way by using “Sustainable energy cycle” method. Production plant where we make charging stations is the first fully sustainable production facility. All energy, needed for the heating and cooling of the building, production process and for transportation of goods and employees (except deliveries of heavy materials by trucks), is produced by photovoltaic power plants and stored in  storage batteries. Almost all of the raw materials we use are produced in EU, to shorten supply routes and support local economy. Buying our products helps developing sustainable economy.

Compatibility:

100% compatible with all electric vehicles.

WHAT IS RCD AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

RCD is an acronym for Residual Current Device – sometimes it can be called also Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker or Safety Switch. Its purpose is to prevent you from getting a fatal electric shock if you touch live part, such as a bare copper wire under high voltage. RCDs offer a level of personal protection that ordinary fuses/circuit-breakers cannot provide. RCD constantly monitors the electric current flowing through one or more circuits which it protects. If it detects electricity flowing down an unintended path, such as through a person who has touched a live part, the RCD will switch the circuit off very quickly, significantly reducing the risk of death or serious injury. Every charging station comes with integrated Type A 30mA AC + 6mA DC RCD  or Type B RCD what ensures maximum possible level of personal protection as it protects users from AC, pulsating DC and pure DC leakage currents.
