1. Product Overview

The Siemens VersiComm is an all-in-one, multiprotocol intelligent node solution for both Wi-Fi and cellular

networks, and is built for large scale EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) implementations handling

up to 25 charging stations. VersiComm is capable of handling large network traffic at stellar speeds by

integrating a combined, premium Wi-Fi and cellular access point, while implementing maximum network

security measures .

Wi-Fi Communication

The Siemens VersiComm is equipped with an InRouter915L along with two, powerful omnidirectional

antennas. The Siemens VersiComm supports IEEE 802.11 B/G/N.

Cellular Communication

Significant cost savings can be achieved for an at-scale installation when consolidating cellular

connectivity from up to 25 charging stations into one VersiComm. The VersiComm utilizes the

InRouter915L multiprotocol intelligent node along with two, omnidirectional cellular antennas, Ideal for

large scale networks, the IR915L uses 4G/LTE networks.

Security Features

With cyber security becoming an ever-increasing issue, the Siemens VersiComm meets the challenge by

providing a number of local area network security features including WEB/WPA/WPA2 for Wi-Fi and Local

Authentication, Radius, TACACS+, LDAP, SPI, ACL, NAT, PAT, DMZ, Port Mapping, GRE, L2TP, IPSec,

DMVPN, OpenVPN, PEM, PKCS12, SCEP, Anti-ARP, DMZ, and MAC filtering.

Easy Installation

Siemens VersiComm comes ready to operate when shipped. Each VersiComm has a pre-commissioned

ATT 4G LTE data plan inside, and is configured specifically for VersiCharge SG products. Due to the

number of unique installations mounting hardware is not included with the device. Provisions for mounting

are provided, using brackets that are mounted on the four corners at the back-side of the unit. The unit

can be mounted in a location of your choosing, with only conduit or cabling for 120v or 208/240V AC

connections required. If conduit is not provided, sufficient strain relief on the cable should be provided by

the customer inside the enclosure. During the installation, care should be taken to not compromise the

door seal, and to maintain the NEMA rating.

Outdoor Enclosure

VersiComm is equipped with a rugged NEMA 4 enclosure; the combined cellular/Wi-Fi access point

meets strict UL, IEC, FCC, CCC, RCM, and PTCRB standards. The Siemens VersiComm is built-to-last

and is suitable for most weather environments.

2. Important Safety Information

2.1 Read this First

This manual contains important safety instructions for use during the installation, operation, and

maintenance of the Siemens VersiComm.

2.2 Symbol Legend

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, and to ensure the safe installation and operation of the

Siemens VersiComm, the following safety symbols appear throughout this document to indicate

dangerous conditions and important safety instructions.

DANGER Hazardous voltage. Will cause death or serious injury. Turn off power before

working on equipment. This indicates a situation where the voltage can cause injury or

death. Extreme caution is required when servicing or installing the equipment referenced.

WARNING! This indicates a situation where failure to follow instructions may be a safety

hazard or cause equipment malfunction. Use extreme caution and follow instructions

carefully.

NOTE: This indicates information particularly important for optimal system operation.

Follow instructions closely.

2.3 Product Labels

The following symbols appear on the product label and are described here:

This label indicates the risk of hazardous

voltage and electric shock which will cause

death, serious injury, or substantial equipment

damage. Turn off power supply to the device

before working inside.

Indicates connection point for Ground conductor.

Unrestricted

2.4 Definitions

The term EV used in this manual refers to an electric vehicle.

The term AC used in this manual refers to alternating current.

2.5 Safety Instructions (General and Specific)

DANGER Hazardous voltage. Will cause death or serious injury. Turn off power supply to the

equipment before working inside.

•Read this Installation and Operations Manual in its entirety before installing, maintaining,

servicing, or replacing a Siemens VersiComm.

•Permits: Be aware that many areas require special permits and/or utility approvals to install EV

charging equipment. Contact your local electrical inspector’s office and your local utility before

beginning work to understand local requirements.

•Qualified person: Because of the inherent dangers of electricity, only a qualified person should

install, maintain, service, or replace electrical wiring and connected equipment. For the purpose

of this manual, a qualified person is one who is familiar with the installation, construction of and

operation of the equipment and hazards involved. In addition, this person should meet the

definition of a qualified person pursuant to the National Electrical Code® (NEC®)

. Failure to

comply with the recommendation of having a qualified person install the unit when electrical

work is required, may void the warranty provided with this device.

WARNING! Failure to properly seat seals can result in water, debris, and other foreign objects

entering the device. These can cause damage to electrical components and prevent the device

from functioning properly.

2.6 Instructions Pertaining to Risk of Fire or Electric Shock

WARNING!. This manual contains important instructions for the VersiComm that must be

followed during installation, operation, and maintenance of the unit to avoid injury and

equipment damage. When using electric products, basic precautions should always be

followed, including the following:

•Read all of the instructions before using this product.

•Failure to follow these instructions may lead to death, serious injury, or property damage.

•Any electrical wiring required to install this device shall conform to applicable codes and

standards (ANSI/NFPA 70). A qualified electrician is recommended to perform these tasks.

•An insulated grounding conductor identical in size, insulation material, and thickness to the

grounded and ungrounded branch-circuit supply conductors (except that it is green with or

without one or more yellow stripes) shall be installed as part of the branch circuit that

supplies the device or system.

•The grounding conductor shall be grounded to earth at the service equipment or, when

supplied by a separately derived system, at the supply transformer.

•To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn the power off during service, installation or

removing the device from service—while the power is on, never service, install, or uninstall

this device from service.

•To ensure that adequate contact pressure is applied, a torque driver shall be used to make

power connections. See the installation section of this manual for additional details.

National Electrical Code and NEC are registered trademarks of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

Unrestricted

•To make field connections, a device with a wire connector for field installed wiring shall be

provided with instructions specifying that the connector provided shall be used in making

field connections.

•To power the device use 10-14 AWG solid or stranded wire, copper only..

2.7Code and Standard References

•The VersiComm enclosure meets requirements for the UL 508, NEMA 4 rating,

when seals are properly seated and antennas are properly installed. The door must

be fully closed and locked to maintain this rating and to avoid nullifying the

warranty. Any modifications to the enclosure, other than a NEMA 4 conduit hub

added for the power cabling, will nullify the commitment of the NEMA rating and

void the VersiComm warranty.

•The VersiComm meets the stated operational temperature range of -25°C - 70°C

in an environment that has humidity between 5% ~ 95% relative humidity

(noncondensing).

•Up to 25 VersiCharge SG chargers can be connected to the VersiComm in an

outdoor setting where no objects obstruct the direct connection to the VersiComm.

Large objects, those that scatter Wi-Fi signal, underground installations, especially

those near rebar and other location factors, can affect the VersiComm range.

•The VersiComm’s uplink and downlink speeds are based on an outdoor installation

with no objects to interfere with the connection between the VersiComm antennas

and the nearest cellular antenna.
