2. Setup

Setting up your EVDANCE EV Charger is a straightforward process. Follow these four steps to begin charging:

1. Insert the EV charger's plug into the wall outlet. Ensure the outlet is properly grounded. The charger supports both NEMA 5-15 (110V) and NEMA 6-20 (220V/240V) outlets.
2. Hold the 'A' button for 3 seconds to adjust the charging current. This allows you to select the desired amperage (6A, 8A, 10A, 12A, or 16A) based on your vehicle's needs and the outlet's capacity. When using a NEMA 5-15 outlet, the current can be adjusted to a maximum of 12A.
3. Click the 'A' button to select the charging current and wait for 5 seconds for the setting to apply.
4. Plug the charger connector into the vehicle's charging port to start charging.

3. Operating Instructions

For Tesla owners, a separate J1772 to Tesla adapter is required as the charger uses the J1772 standard. This adapter is not included with the charger.

4. Maintenance

The EVDANCE EV Charger is constructed with high-quality, durable materials designed for longevity and reliable performance. Its IP66 waterproof and dustproof rating ensures protection against environmental elements, making it suitable for outdoor use.

The charger is also designed for winter-ready charging, providing steady power even in freezing cold conditions.

To ensure optimal performance and safety, regularly inspect the charging cable and connectors for any signs of wear, damage, or debris. Keep the unit clean and free from obstructions. Avoid exposing the charger to severe rain, snow, or other inclement weather for prolonged periods, despite its waterproof rating, to maximize its lifespan.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your EVDANCE EV Charger, the LED status indicator can help diagnose the problem. Refer to the LED Status Description in the Operating Instructions section for detailed meanings of the light patterns.
