5.2 Adjusting Charging Power (Current)
The control box allows you to adjust the charging current to suit your needs or the capacity of your power outlet.
- Current (A) Button: Press this button once to cycle through available current values (e.g., 6A, 10A, 13A, 16A, 20A, 24A, 32A). Select the desired amperage.
5.3 Setting Charging Start Time (Delay)
You can set a delayed start time for charging.
- Time Button: Press this button once to set the charging start time (e.g., 0.5h - 8h).
5.4 Charging Process
- After connecting the cable to both the power source and the vehicle, the control box will perform a self-check.
- Adjust the desired charging current using the 'A' button if needed.
- If a delayed start is desired, set the time using the 'Time' button.
- Charging will begin automatically or after the set delay. The LCD will show the charging status.
- To stop charging, disconnect the Type 2 connector from the vehicle first, then unplug the CEE plug from the power source.
