5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Control Box Overview
The control box features an LCD screen and two buttons for operation:
- Button 'A' (Adjust Current): Used to select the desired charging current (8A, 10A, 13A, or 16A).
- Button 'D' (Set Delayed Charging Time): Used to set a delay for charging to start (1 to 15 hours).
Figure 2: Control Box with Adjustable Current and Delay Time Buttons
5.2. Adjusting Charging Current
Before connecting to your EV, you can adjust the charging current:
- With the charger plugged into the wall outlet but not yet connected to the EV, press Button 'A'.
- Each press will cycle through the available current options: 8A, 10A, 13A, 16A.
- Select the desired current. The charger will remember this setting for future use.
IMPORTANT: The device cannot adjust the current during charging. The charging current set shouldn't be higher than the supply current, otherwise there may be a safety hazard.
5.3. Setting Delayed Charging Time
To utilize off-peak electricity rates or for convenience, you can set a delay:
- With the charger plugged into the wall outlet but not yet connected to the EV, press Button 'D'.
- Each press will cycle through delay times from 1 to 15 hours.
- Select your desired delay. Charging will begin automatically after the set time.
Note: Your EV is required to support delayed charging for this feature to function correctly.
