This manual contains information about maintenance for the 
VersiCharge Ultra 175 kW charger model: 175kW DC. 

The purpose of this document is to guide the Siemens certified 
service agent through a series of preventative maintenance 
checks for the VersiCharge Ultra 175kW DC charger system.

This guide is a living document and is updated as changes occur. 
It is the intention of Siemens to update this guide periodically as 
new procedures and technologies are developed and employed. 
The document is subject to updates without notification.

The scope of this document covers the maintenance interval 
schedule to be carried across all the sub-systems of the 
VersiCharge Ultra 175kW DC charger system. The sub-systems 
include:

  User Unit: The user unit provides an interface for the user (the  

  electric vehicle driver/owner) and  uses the CHAdeMO or  

 

  Combo 2 (CCS1) connector to connect one electric vehicle to   
  the power supply.

  Isolated power unit: The IPU outputs regulated 750 - 950 V DC  

  to the user unit. It also provides galvanic isolation of the  

 

  charging system from the AC grid  interface through the  

 

  isolation transformer, as well as charge control and      

 

  communication to back-office services.

 CRITICAL

Except as expressly stated herein, all maintenance must be 
performed by a Siemens certified service agent only. In the 
absence of a certified service agent, the actions recommended 
in this manual should not be actioned.

All maintenance work should be conducted ONLY when the site 
is completely de-energized. 

For assistance with maintenance of the charger, contact your 
supplier, or Siemens Customer Support.
