5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Basic Charging Procedure

Ensure your vehicle is parked and turned off.
Plug the CEE 1-phase power plug into a suitable wall socket. The control box LCD will illuminate.
Open your vehicle's charging port cover.
Insert the Type 2 vehicle connector firmly into your vehicle's charging port. Ensure it clicks into place.
The charger will initiate a self-check, and then charging will begin automatically with the last set current. The green indicator light will flash.
To stop charging, first disconnect the Type 2 connector from the vehicle, then unplug the CEE power plug from the wall socket.

5.2 Adjusting Current

Before connecting the Type 2 connector to your vehicle, you can adjust the charging current:

With the CEE plug connected to the wall socket but the Type 2 connector not yet connected to the vehicle, press the 'CURRENT' button on the control box.
Cycle through the available current options: 10A, 16A, 20A, 24A, 32A.
Select the desired current based on your vehicle's requirements and your electrical circuit's capacity.
Once the current is set, connect the Type 2 connector to your vehicle to begin charging.

5.3 Setting Delayed Start

To schedule charging for a later time:

With the CEE plug connected to the wall socket but the Type 2 connector not yet connected to the vehicle, press the 'DELAY' button on the control box.
Each press will increase the delay time in hourly increments (e.g., 1 hour, 2 hours, up to 12 hours).
Once the desired delay is set, connect the Type 2 connector to your vehicle. The charger will display the countdown and begin charging after the set delay.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, refer to the following table. If the problem persists, contact customer support.

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Charger not powering on	No power from socket; CEE plug not fully inserted; internal fault.	Check power outlet; ensure CEE plug is fully inserted; try a different outlet.
Red indicator light flashing (Error)	Overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, overheating, ground fault, leakage current, or other safety protection triggered.	Disconnect charger from vehicle and power source. Wait a few minutes, then reconnect. Check for visible damage to cable/connectors. Ensure vehicle's charging port is clean. If error persists, contact support.
Charging not starting	Type 2 connector not fully inserted; vehicle not ready to charge; delayed start set; current too low for vehicle.	Ensure Type 2 connector is securely latched; check vehicle's charging status; verify delayed start setting; adjust current to a higher setting if necessary.
Slow charging speed	Current setting is low; vehicle's onboard charger limitation; power supply limitation.	Increase current setting on the control box (if safe for your circuit); consult your vehicle's manual for charging capabilities.
