4. Lock the vehicle and / or allow charging according to the vehicle owner's
manual - if required. The LED should then light up solid blue and the latch
will lock the connector.
An electrical lock (latch) is built into the socket, which locks the plug
throughout the charging process to prevent it from being accidentally
pulled out. Do not try to unplug the cable while it is charging!
5.When the charging process starts, the LED will turn to solid green.
Charging lasts until the car battery is fully charged or the charging is
stopped.
6.When the car battery is fully charged, the device switches to the "vehicle
connected" state (the LED turns to solid blue). The charging process is complete.
Always disconnect the cable
from the vehicle first and then from the charger connector.
(In some cars, you can only disconnect the cable
by opening the doors and / or stopping charging according to the vehicle's instruction manual.)
7.If the charging process is still on-going but you want to stop it, always do that from the vehicle! Open the
vehicle door and / or stop charging according to the vehicle's operating instructions.
Do not unplug or pull the
charging cable out during charging process!
(The closed latch also does not allow to unplug the cable.)
When charging is complete, disconnect the cable from the charger!
Keep the cable in a protective case / bag
or hang it loosely on a cable holder so that the connectors do not touch the floor. The connectors and cable
must be protected from mechanical damage and dirt.
Never stand on the charging cable with the car, as its
internal wires may be damaged! If a plug and/or its contact terminals are damaged or dirty, do not use the
charging cable until it has been properly repaired!
3.4. Key lock (optional)
If you ordered the device with this option, there is a key lock installed on the front
panel.
The key lock does not de-energize or switch off the charger!
The key lock in
the charger control activates electronics that prevents the charger from connecting
(exchanging data) with the vehicle. Thus, even if an unauthorized person connects
your vehicle to the charger with the charging cable, the LED will flash blue and will
not charge the vehicle until enabled with the key lock.
If you turn off the key lock while charging (turning it to the disable charging
position), the charger continuously reduces the charging current to 6A in about 5 seconds and then completely
shuts off the charging current from the output. The charging cable can then be unplugged from the vehicle
socket) and the charger switches to standby mode, the LED starts flashing blue.
