Safety instructions for operation
Before you perform a charge with the cPH2, you must check the following points for your
safety:
•
The cPH2 has been installed according to the specifications in this document: In
particular, ensure that the charging station is freely accessible, not exposed to direct
sunlight or rain if possible, and that an electric vehicle can be connected without the
charging cable being under tension or otherwise stressed.
•
The cPH2 has been properly connected to the supply line.
•
Ensure that the supply line is protected by suitable circuit breakers.
•
Ensure that the cover of the cPH2 is always closed during normal operation.
•
Ensure that the charging cable is not twisted and make sure that the cable, charging
couplings, housing and charging sockets have no visible damage.
For charging, your cPH2 has different connection options from the TYPE 2 plug
depending on the variant. Accordingly, you need an optionally available charging cable
to connect to your vehicle.
The type 2 charging socket of the cPH2 in accordance with IEC 62196-2 has three live
contacts, a neutral conductor, a PE protective conductor and two signal contacts (
C
ontrol
P
ilot and
P
roximity
P
ilot), which ensure safe connection and thus hazard-free use.
As long as the plug of the external charging cable is not locked
in the charging socket of the cPH2, no voltage is output to the
charging cable via the current-carrying contacts of the socket.
If the mains voltage fails, the charging socket is automatically
unlocked.
The charging socket of the cPH2 offers an electromotive
module with an intern RFID-Module (available as an option) for
a fully controlled charging process.
The type 2 charging sockets of the cPH2 are each internally
equipped with a DC residual current module. This protection is a prerequisite especially if
your electric vehicle itself does not provide protection against DC fault current:
Information on this can be found in the manual for your vehicle and from the
manufacturer or Sales partner for your vehicle.
