The following carriers are supported : USA: AT&T, T-Mobile, and Canada: Rogers, Telus. Data plans should have a minimum
consumption of 250 MB per month per charger.
22
1. Expose the area holding the SIM card hardware by unlatching the cover. The SIM card sits next to the
Ethernet connection (see Figure 11 SIM card installation).
2. Slide the micro SIM card into slot.
3. The SIM card socket is spring loaded. Slide the SIM card from the bottom upward into the slot until it stays in
place. To remove/replace the SIM card, press the SIM card upward and it will “spring” down and out of the slot.
3.5 Ethernet Connection – (Commercial and Smart Residential Units)
There is an Ethernet port standard on the VersiCharge controller module 10/100BASE-T port with an RJ45 modular connector.
The Ethernet port is capable of data rates up to 100 Mbps and supports ModBus/TCP protocol. The Ethernet can be used to
commission/configure chargers and monitor charger activity on a daily basis (download the VersiCharge Configurator Tool
(PC application) at usa.siemens.com/versicharge).
Figure 12. CAT6 Ethernet Port Connection
NOTE: The Ethernet cable connector should NOT be attached to the Ethernet cable when it is pushed
through the rubberized Ethernet gland. This gland will not self-seal if the Ethernet connector is pushed
through the rubberized Ethernet gland and the NEMA 4 rating will be lost.
1. Push the Ethernet cable through the rubberized Ethernet gland.
2. Snake the Ethernet cable up through the back to the opening.
3. Connect the Ethernet RJ45 plug to the cable.
4. Insert the RJ45 plug from the bottom up into the Ethernet port.

3.7 ModBus Communications Setup
Using the ModBus RTU protocol. VersiCharge chargers can act as ModBus Child devices making any real-time data available
through the ModBus RTU protocol. ModBus Parent devices connected to the charger can access (read) this data or write data to the
charger’s registers, initiating control actions.
3.7.1 ModBus RTU Connection (Commercial Units Only)
Figure 14. Multi-Use/ModBus connector
NOTE: Push the RS-485 wire through the Rubberized Cable Gland and then terminate the wires into the Multi-Use
connector terminal block. This gland will not self-seal if the connector is pushed through the rubberized cable
gland and the NEMA 4 rating will be lost.
1. Push the external ModBus RTU cable through the rubberized cable gland at the back of the charger (this will self-seal).
2. Attach the external ModBus cable wires to the internal (supplied) Multi-Use connector.
24
3. Gently tuck the wiring into the space and secure the back of the charger.
4. Download/install QModMaster or any other third-party software (https://sourceforge.net/projects/qmodmaster/) to test registers.
Security Note: The ModBus RTU is an open protocol, and it is the responsibility of the installer to ensure
the security of the wiring of these connections to prevent tampering.
3.7.2 ModBus Termination Switch Settings (Commercial Parent/Child Units)
Figure 15. Termination switch setting for parent/child units
1. SW3-1 (left side) labelled RS485 is the Termination switch. This switch should be in the ON position for the Parent unit or
in the OFF position for a Child unit, unless that Child is the last Child in the daisy chain, then it must be ON.
3.7.3 ModBus Termination Switch Settings (Commercial Child units Only)
Figure 16. Termination switch setting for child units only
1. SW3-2 (right side) labelled RS485 Term is the Termination switch. For the Child units the Termination switch
must be set to OFF, unless the unit is the last one in the daisy chain, then the switch must be set to ON.
25
3.7.4 General ModBus RTU RS-485 wiring considerations
Devices connected on the Modbus RS-485 wire, including the Child, converter(s) and other instrumentation, must be wired as follows:
• Connect the shield of each cable segment to ground at one end only.
• Isolate cables, as much as possible, from sources of electrical noise.
• Install a ¼ Watt termination resistor (RT) between the (+) and (-) terminals of the device at each end point of a
straight-line bus. The resistor should match the nominal impedance of the RS-485 cable, which is typically 120
ohms (consult the manufacturer’s documentation for the cable’s impedance value).
RS-485 Connection methods to avoid
Any device connection that causes a branch in the main RS-485 ModBus cable should be avoided. This includes star and tee (T)
methods. These wiring methods cause signal reflections that may result in interference. No more than two cables should be
connected at any connection point on the RS-485 ModBus daisy chain. This includes connection points on instruments, converters,
and terminal strips. Following these guidelines ensures that both star and tee connections are avoided.

common sense maintenance. The following maintenance can be performed by the owner/user. All other service
must be conducted by qualified personnel.
If there is any damage to the charger, contact your supplier.
General exterior maintenance is recommended to be performed every six months depending on the
environment. In harsh environments, maintenance should be performed more often.
9.1 General exterior maintenance
Regular cleaning is recommended to avoid accumulation of debris/dust/dirt on or around the unit. Wipe
surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with water, or for harder to remove marks, use an alcohol based cleaner.
Do not spray with high pressure cleaning hoses or use abrasive chemicals.
9.2 General external checks
Check for cuts, damage, and debris. If debris is present, remove it. If you find damage, contact your supplier.
Check for damage and corrosion. If present, contact your supplier.
Check the HMI for damage/signs of faded color that is clearly visible.
Ensure there is no debris or damage inside or around the cable, cable holder and connector/plug. If present,
remove debris and/or notify the supplier of any damage. Check the connector/plug pins for any signs of
corrosion and contact the supplier, if there is any damage to the pins.
Check for snow buildup around the VersiCharge and clear the area around the VersiCharge. This should be
checked daily in areas with high snowfall.
