Taking the charging station into use
Test measurements must be performed before taking the
charging station into use.
Connecting the power supply
Before connecting the power supply, make sure that all the
needed cable installations are completed and that the earth
resistance measurements have been made according to local
regulations.
1. Remove the signaling warning tag from the circuit breaker or
power supply switch of the charging station.
2. Remove the dedicated lock or other preventive measures from
the circuit breaker or power supply switch.
3. Connect the power supply to the charging station by operating
the circuit breaker.
4. Test the functionality of Type-A RCD by pressing RCD test
button.
Measurements after power supply connection
Verify the operation of the charging station after the power
supply has been connected.
1. Check the indicators of the charging station. Refer to LED
descriptions for more details.
2. It is recommended to use EV charging station installation
tester to ensure functionality.
Testing the charging station in normal use
1. Make sure all the wires have been connected correctly and
the charging station cover is attached.
2. Connect vehicle charging cable to the charging station.
3. Connect charging cable to vehicle
4. Make sure that the LED in the charging station switches to

External input connection (Charlie-3)
Charlie-3 has input connector for potential free control signal
from 3rd party units. When signal occurs in input, Charlie-3 will
limit maximum charging current into 8A. When signal returns to
normal state, maximum charging current returns into predefined
value.
Connect potential free output of control unit to connector pins
CC+ and CC-
