# Kostal Enector

Source: https://docs.evcc.io/en/chargers/kostal-enector

The wallbox must be configured as satellite/slave using the DIP switches on the mainboard and Modbus RTU must be enabled (bank S1: 4=ON, 5=ON, 7=OFF).
No external meter should be connected directly to the wallbox, as all functions are controlled directly by evcc.
For Kostal systems with Smart Energy Meter (KSEM), the additional activation code (Solar Pure Mode / Solar Plus Mode) for the KSEM is *not* required.

Supported features: mA, 1p3p, meter, dim

Sponsor token required: this device is available to sponsors of the project, see https://docs.evcc.io/en/sponsorship.
