Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is O-PEN® technology?

O-PEN® technology is a system integrated into the matt:e ARD connection units that allows for the connection of EV charge points to the PME earthing facility without the need for traditional earth electrodes.

Does this unit require earth rods?

No, the matt:e ARD-1-100-TP with O-PEN® technology does not require earth rods or measuring electrodes to function correctly when connected to a PME earthing system.

What does 'auto reset' mean?

The auto reset function means the unit has a 5-pole device that automatically restores power to the connected load (EV charge point) once a fault condition has cleared, in line with BS:7671 safety standards.

What is the maximum load this unit can handle?

The matt:e ARD-1-100-TP has a maximum load capacity of 100A.

Can this unit be installed outdoors?

No, the unit has an IP4X rating, which means it is designed for indoor installations only.

What type of power supply does it require?

It requires a 3-phase (400V) main incoming supply.

Who should install the ARD-1-100-TP?

Due to the technical requirements and safety regulations involved with earthing and EV charging installations, the ARD-1-100-TP must be installed by a qualified and certified electrician.

Troubleshooting

Unit not supplying power to EV charge point

Verify the 3-phase incoming supply is active. Check that the auto-reset device has not tripped due to a persistent fault. Ensure all connections within the unit are secure. Consult a qualified electrician if the issue persists.

Auto-reset function activating frequently

Frequent auto-resets indicate an underlying earth fault. This requires investigation into the EV charge point or the supply earthing system by a qualified electrician to identify and rectify the root cause.

Device not compliant with local regulations

Ensure the installation and wiring comply strictly with BS:7671 and all local electrical safety standards. Confirm that the PME earthing system is suitable for this type of connection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for separate earth electrodes, simplifying installation.
  • Auto-reset functionality improves uptime by automatically restoring power after fault clearance.
  • Designed to meet specific electrical safety standards (BS:7671).
  • Integrated solution reduces component count and complexity.
  • Suitable for high-load applications with a 100A capacity.

Cons

  • Specifically designed for PME earthing systems, not universally applicable.
  • Requires professional installation due to its technical nature and safety implications.
  • IP4X rating limits its use to indoor environments only.
  • Auto-reset feature should be managed with awareness of underlying fault conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The ARD-1-100-TP is a pre-configured connection centre designed for professional installation. It connects to a 3-phase (400V) main incoming supply. The unit facilitates the connection of EV charge points directly to the PME earthing facility using its integrated O-PEN® technology. Ensure all connections are made according to BS:7671 and local electrical regulations. Due to the technical nature of earthing systems and EV charging, installation must be performed by a qualified electrician.

Compatibility: This unit is specifically compatible with PME earthing systems and is intended for connecting EV charge points. It is designed for indoor use due to its IP4X rating.

Care: Maintain the unit by ensuring the enclosure remains clean and free from dust and moisture. Periodically check all external connections for tightness. No user-serviceable parts are inside; any maintenance or inspection should be carried out by a qualified professional.
