The basic prerequisite for safe working is compliance with all the safety and handling instructions stated
in these instructions. Furthermore, the local accident prevention regulations are also applicable.
2.1 Intended use
The wallboxes are designed for private, semi-public and public use.
The wallboxes are designed for charging electric vehicles on the AC three-phase grid and are permanently
connected to the three-phase grid. They are used for AC charging according to mode 3 as per IEC 61851-1
(VDE 0122-1). They comply with protection class I (protective earth). The wallboxes are suitable for use both
indoors and outdoors. Any use beyond the intended use is considered misuse. The wallboxes are designed
for installation on a wall or on the intended base (purchased part). The base is mounted on the earth piece
(purchased part) or on a concrete foundation provided by the operator.
According to DIN VDE 61439-7, wallboxes may be operated by electrically instructed persons as well as
by non-specialist persons. Installation, initial commissioning, decommissioning and maintenance must be
carried out by a qualified electrician. Cleaning, compliance with maintenance intervals and troubleshooting
are the responsibility of the operator.

required for the site.
When using the wallboxes, the ambient conditions and the chemical resistance of the housing material used

The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage or losses due to non-observance of the instructions.
