1  General information and operation 

 

1.1 

Which types of vehicles can be charged at the KeContact P20? 

The  KeContact  P20  can  charge  all  vehicles  having  a  standard  Type  1  or  Type  2  charging 
socket  in compliance with IEC 62196 and a  Mode 3 charging. You can find an overview of 
the  current  vehicle  models  and  the  respective  socket  types  in  the  version  overview  at 

www.KeContact.com

. 

1.2 

May other devices besides vehicles be operated at the KeContact P20? 

The  KeContact  P20  is  a  specially  developed  charging  station  for  charging  electrically 
operated vehicles. Therefore, the operation of other devices is not permitted. 

1.3 

How is a charging procedure started? 

For KeContact P20 versions without authorization (RFID, key switch), a charging procedure 
is already initiated  when connecting the charging cable to the charging station and vehicle. 
The charging station automatically locks the plug and charging is started.  
For versions with RFID or key switch, an authorization is first necessary (operation of the key 
switch  or  by  holding  the  RFID  card/tags  in  the  area  of  the  RFID  symbol).  A  successful 
authorization  will  be  indicated  by  a  series  of  increasing tones  whereby  the  charging  station 
starts the charging. 

1.4 

How is a charging procedure ended? 

The charging procedure is ended by unplugging the charging cable at your vehicle. The plug 
in the KeContact P20 is then automatically unlocked in the cable can be unplugged. 

1.5 

Can the plug of the charging cable at the KeContact P20 be locked? 

Yes.  For  versions  with  Type  2  socket,  the  plug  is  automatically  locked  as  soon  as  it  is 
plugged  into  the  KeContact  P20.  Unlocking  occurs  after  completion  of  a  charge  by 
disconnection  on  the  vehicle  side.  If  a  connection  did  not  occur  on  the  vehicle  side,  the 
KeContact P20 will automatically unlock again after one minute. 

1.6 

Which plug and cable types may be used for charging (applies to KeContact P20 
with Type 2 socket)? 

Only Type 1 and Type 2 plugs and cables in accordance with Standard IEC 62196 may be 
used.  If  you  have  additional  questions,  please  contact  your  service  partner  or  vehicle 
manufacturer. 

1.7 

Which cable cross-sections may be used for charging (applies to KeContact P20 
with Type 2 socket)? 

Only  plugs  and  cable  types  conforming  to  IEC  62196  may  be  used  for  operation  on  the 
KeContact  P20.  The  respective  plugs  are  resistance-coded  (results  from  the  maximum 
permitted  charging  current  and  thus  also  the  permitted  cable  cross-section).  If  you  have 
additional questions, please contact your service partner or vehicle manufacturer. 

1.8 

May the charging cable be permanently connected to the KeContact P20 (affects 
KeContact P20 with Type 2 socket)? 

KEBA  recommends  unplugging  the  charging  cable  after  every  charging  procedure  and 
storing in a suitable location to prevent possible premature material fatigue.
