Please note that when you connect your charge point to Monta, we become the operator of the charge point. This means that you need to use Monta to control the charging process.

1. Download the Schneider app on your phone

First, you need to download the app “eSetup for Electricians” from Google Play store or Apple Store.

2. Open the app

You can click on “Skip” for the account creation, as it is not necessary for the installation.

Then, you need to accept this manufacturer note, by clicking on “OK”.

On the next screen, select “EVlink Pro AC”.

3. Connect to the charge point via Bluetooth

Connect to the device using Bluetooth. The app might ask for permission to enable Bluetooth, search, pair etc. You need to accept to connect to the unit.

Please note that the Bluetooth signal of the charge point stays on only for 2 hours, after first time you power it up. If your phone cannot find the charge point, please follow the troubleshooting steps in the hardware manual of the charge point.

4. Create a pin for the charge point

At this stage, you need to create a pin and enter it.

Important! Do not lose this pin!

The recovery of the pin is very hard. If you need to recover a pin, you can find instructions in the charge point manual.

Click “Save” if you made any changes.
