Taking into operation and charging procedure
16
• Ensure that the upstream external FI residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) is
switched on.
• Ensure that the charging station has been installed according to the instructions in
this manual: Check especially that there is free access to the charging station, that
it is not exposed to direct sunlight or rain and that the electric vehicle can be con-
nected without any strain or other encumbrance on the charging cable.
• Ensure that the housing cover shield is always locked during normal operation.
• Ensure that the charging cable is not twisted and check that cable, connector and
housing do not show any observable damage.
Normal operation
The fixed charging cable leaves the charging station on the left lower side of the hous-
ing. A matching compartment for the charging connector is provided on the right side
of the housing: A pin inside the compartment, onto which the connector is hooked,
serves to secure it in place.
DANGER!
Except during charging procedures, the charging connector must always
be properly stored and thereby secured in its compartment: Never leave
the connector lying out in the open or plugged into the vehicle after
charging is complete.
You must under no circumstances use excessive force when removing the charging
connector from its compartment or replacing it: If the pin inside the compartment is
damaged or breaks off, the charging connector can no longer be stored properly. In
this case you must under no circumstances continue to operate the charging station!
Please contact your local distributor from whom you have purchased the charging sta-
tion.
The fixed charging cable of the
EVSE 563
is ca. 5 meters in length and thus enables a
flexible connection with the vehicle. Unless charging, you should always roll the cable
up into a compact shape and store it in a way that prevents it from being damaged by
external mechanical forces. Although the cable and connector are designed to with-
stand high mechanical stresses, you should not drive your vehicle over the cable and/
or the connector. Also ensure that the cable is not kinked at the housing outlet and
that there is no excessive strain on the cable and/or the housing.
