Operating Instructions
You can change the current level using the / buttons.
The correct sequence to start a recharge is:
1.
Plug in the cable to the power socket, if it has a switch turn it on.
2.
Select the desired current level
3.
Plug in the car connector into the car
If you connected to a CEE 16A socket you can select any level up to 16A.
Only if you connect to a CEE 32A socket you can select any current level:
6A, 8A, 10A, 13A, 16A, 20A, 24A, 28A, 32A.
To switch from 10A to 13A and from 16A to 20A you must keep pressed the
key for 1 second
.
Please note that this signals to the car's charger the maximum allowed current,
the car can use any value lower than the maximum allowed. Normally the real
current is about 0.5A less than the maximum allowed but this is not always true,
especially at the end of the recharge cycle it can be much lower.
If you select a maximum current bigger than the maximum current that the car's
charger can manage, it will use all the current it can manage (most electric cars
now have 16A limited charger).
Do not select a current level greater than the power plug maximum limit
:
8A for domestic Schuko, 16A for CEE small size, 32A for CEE medium size,
otherwise you can damage both the plug and the socket
.
The plug adapters have a thermal over-current switch that will trip if the
maximum allowed current is exceeded for some time. This is to protect both the
plug and the socket, that could overheat.
When they trip they disconnect the power and the recharge will interrupt, to reset
you must press them.
