Although the cable and connector are designed to withstand high mechanical stress-
es, you should not drive your vehicle over the cable and/or the connector. Also ensure
that the cable is not kinked at the charging socket and that there is no excessive strain
on the cable and/or the housing.
DANGER!
If the cable, the charging connector and/or the housing have suffered mechan-
ical damage or show visible deformities, you must under no circumstances
continue to operate the charging station.
Please contact your local distributor from whom you have purchased the
charging station.
Charging procedure
The EVSE 5X2 is engineered for the fastest possible charge of your vehicle according
to IEC 61851-1, Mode 3. The actual charging time depends on the battery fitted to your
vehicle as well as on the energy currently remaining in the vehicle. For these reasons
it is not possible to make a reliable prediction of the charging time: You will discover its
actual value in practice and derive your personal charging routine accordingly.
Please follow the following steps to charge your vehicle:
1. Check the two indicator LEDs on the top part of the EVSE 5X2: When the charging
station is ready for operation, the green LED indicator will flash briefly every 5 sec-
onds, while the blue LED will be not be illuminated.
2. Open the charging socket on the vehicle.
3. Plug the charging connector of the charging cable (Type
2 or Type 1) into the vehicle’s charging socket. The ve-
hicle must be positioned so that you can reach the ve-
hicle socket comfortably. The cable must not be strained
during the charging process.
4. Open the cover of the charging socket on the EVSE 5X2
and plug in the Type 2 charging connector.
The green LED will be illuminated continuously while the connection between charg-
ing station and vehicle is being established. When the charging procedure begins, the
green LED will be extinguished and the blue LED will be illuminated continuously.
Charging is completed when the blue LED is flashing.
PLEASE NOTE:
Should a malfunction occur during or after the charging process, this will
be indicated by the LEDs on top of the housing. The following chapter
describes how you can identify operational states and errors and which
measures will become necessary.
When charging is complete, unplug the cable from the vehicle socket and from the
socket of the charging station and store it for the next charging procedure.
