Safety instructions
Electric shock, short cir-
cuit, fire, explosion
Use of a damaged or faulty charging cable or elec-
trical socket, improper use of the charger or failure
to observe the safety instructions can cause short
circuits, electric shocks, explosions, fire or burns.
e
Do not use a damaged and/or soiled charger.
Check the cable and plug connection for damage
and soiling before use.
e
Only connect the charger to properly installed
and undamaged electrical sockets and fault-free
electrical installations.
e
Do not use extension cables, cable reels, multiple
sockets or (travel) adapters.
e
Disconnect the charger from the mains supply
during thunderstorms.
e
Do not modify or repair any of the electrical com-
ponents.
e
Never
immerse the charger or plugs in water or
spray them directly with water (e.g. high-pres-
sure cleaning equipment or garden hoses).
e
Only clean the charger when the control unit has
been fully disconnected from the mains supply
and from the vehicle. Use a dry cloth for clean-
ing.
Electric shock, fire
Incorrectly installed electrical sockets can cause
electric shock or fire when the high-voltage battery
is charged using the vehicle charge port.
e
Installation and initial operation of the electrical
socket for the charger may only be carried out by
a qualified, electrically skilled person. The quali-
fied electrician is fully responsible for compliance
with the relevant standards and regulations.
e
The cross-section of the power cable for the
electrical socket must be defined in accordance
with the wire length and the locally applicable
regulations and standards.
e
The electrical socket used for charging must be
connected to a separately fused electric circuit
that complies with local laws and standards.
e
The charger is intended for use in private and
semi-public areas, e.g. private properties or
company car parks. In some countries, e.g. in
Italy and New Zealand
1
, mode 2 charging is
pro-
hibited
in public areas.
Further information is available from your Por-
sche partner and from your local power supplier.
e
Unauthorised persons (e.g. playing children)
must not have access to the charger and the
vehicle during unsupervised charging.
e
Please read the safety instructions in the instal-
lation manual and the Driver’s Manual.
Electric shock, fire
Incorrect handling of the plug contacts can lead to
electric shock or fire.
e
Do not touch the contacts on the vehicle charge
port and charger.
e
Do not insert any objects into the vehicle charge
port or charger.
e
Protect electrical sockets and plug connections
against moisture, water and other liquids.
Flammable or explosive
vapours
Components of the charger can cause sparks and
ignite flammable or explosive vapours.
e
To reduce the risk of explosion – particularly
in garages – make sure that the control unit is
located at least 50 cm above the floor during
charging.
e
Do not install the charger in potentially explosive
atmospheres.
Observe the following instructions and recommenda-
tions in order to guarantee uninterrupted charging
with the charger:
–
Before installation, check that the necessary
power for charging a vehicle can be continuously
provided with the currently available domestic
installation. If necessary, protect the domestic
installation with an energy management system.
–
The charger should preferably be operated in
earthed mains supply systems. The protective
conductor must be properly installed.
