Operating Instructions
The RVE-WB is designed for straightforward operation. Follow these steps to initiate a charging session:
- Connect Vehicle: Open the socket cover and securely plug the charging cable from your electric vehicle into the RVE-WB socket.
- Authenticate (if required): If the unit requires authentication (e.g., RVE-WBM-SMART models), present your authorized RFID card to the card reader area indicated by the card symbol on the device. The display will show a confirmation message upon successful authentication.
- Start Charging: Once authenticated, the charging process will begin automatically, or you may need to press a button on the unit or your vehicle to start. The display will show charging status, and indicator lights will confirm active charging.
- Monitor Charging: The display provides real-time information such as charging duration, energy delivered, and current status.
- End Charging: To stop charging, either press the stop button on the unit (if available), use your RFID card again, or stop the session from your vehicle. Disconnect the charging cable from the vehicle first, then from the RVE-WB unit. Close the socket cover to protect it from elements.
