6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Connecting and Starting Charge
- Connect to Vehicle: Insert the Type 2 connector firmly into your vehicle's charging port. You should hear a click as it locks into place.
- Select Current (Optional): Press the Current Settings button (marked with 'A' or a current symbol) on the control box to cycle through available current options: 8A, 10A, 13A, 16A, 32A. Select the appropriate current based on your vehicle's requirements and the capacity of your power outlet. The LED indicator will show the selected current.
- Start Charging: Once connected and current selected (if adjusted), the charger will initiate communication with the vehicle and begin charging. The LED indicator will change to show active charging status.
6.2 Scheduling Charge (Delay Start)
To set a delayed start time for charging:
- After connecting the charger to both the power outlet and your vehicle, press the Schedule Settings button (marked with a clock symbol) on the control box.
- Each press will cycle through delay options (e.g., 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours). Select your desired delay.
- The charger will wait for the set delay period before automatically starting the charging process.
6.3 Stopping and Disconnecting Charge
- Stop Charging: Charging will automatically stop when your vehicle's battery is full or if a fault is detected. You can also manually stop charging by disconnecting the Type 2 connector from the vehicle (if your vehicle allows this without unlocking first).
- Disconnect from Vehicle: Unlock your vehicle's charging port (if necessary) and carefully remove the Type 2 connector.
- Disconnect from Power: Unplug the power plug from the wall outlet.
- Power Off System: To completely power off the charger, press and hold the Current Settings button for 3 seconds. To restart, press and hold the same button for 3 seconds again.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Disconnect the charger from all power sources before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the control box and cables. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse any part in water.
- Storage: When not in use, store the charger in its carrying bag in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid coiling the cable too tightly.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the cable and connectors for any signs of damage, fraying, or corrosion. If any damage is found, discontinue use and contact customer support.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Charger not powering on. | No power from outlet; loose connection; charger fault. | Ensure the power plug is fully inserted. Check the wall outlet with another device. Try a different outlet. If the issue persists, contact support. |
| Charging not starting. | Type 2 connector not fully inserted; vehicle not ready for charge; scheduled delay active; charger fault. | Ensure the Type 2 connector is securely locked into the vehicle. Check your vehicle's dashboard for charging status. Verify no delay start is set. Restart the charger by holding the current button for 3 seconds. |
| Charging stops unexpectedly. | Vehicle battery full; power outage; internal safety protection activated (over-temperature, over-voltage, etc.); loose connection. | Check vehicle battery level. Verify power supply. Inspect cable and connections for damage or looseness. If the control box indicates an error, refer to the LED status guide (if available, otherwise contact support). Allow the charger to cool down if it feels hot. |
| Charger or plug feels excessively hot during charging. | High current setting for outlet capacity; faulty outlet; internal issue. | Immediately stop charging. Reduce the current setting to a lower amperage (e.g., 16A or 13A). Ensure the wall outlet and its wiring are rated for the selected current. If using a standard household outlet, avoid continuous charging at maximum current. Consult a qualified electrician to inspect the outlet if overheating persists. |
