Product Specifications

Control Box LCD Display

The control box features an LCD display showing various parameters:

• 1: Temperature for The Control Box: Displays the internal temperature (e.g., 25°C).
• 2: Signal Voltage: Shows the signal voltage (e.g., 11.9V).
• 3: Charging Current: Indicates the current flow (e.g., 0.0A).
• 4: Charging Voltage: Displays the charging voltage (e.g., 230V).
• 5: Charging Current Limit: Shows the set current limit (e.g., 16A).
• 6: Charging Power: Displays the charging power (e.g., 0.0kW).
• 7: Charging Time/Delay: Shows the charging duration or set delay (e.g., 00:00:00).
• 8: Charged Energy: Displays the total energy charged (e.g., 00.00 kWh).

The Interface Display

The interface allows for adjusting charging settings:

Adjusting Power:

Click the Current Button (labeled 'A') to adjust the power. Available settings: 6A, 8A, 10A, 13A, 16A.

Setting Charging Delay:

Click the Delay Button (labeled with a clock icon ⏰) once to add 1 hour to the delay, up to a maximum of 8 hours. For example, setting a 2-hour delay means charging will start automatically after 2 hours.

Grounding Mode:

Long press the Current Button for 3 seconds to switch to Grounding mode (indicated as "YES grounding").

Long press the Delay Button for 3 seconds to switch to No Grounding mode (indicated as "No grounding").

How To Start/Stop Charging

Start Charging:

1. Check the power distribution cable for damage before powering up.
2. Connect the power plug into the wall socket.
3. Connect the charging plug into the vehicle, ensuring it is fully inserted.

Stop Charging:

1. Disconnect the power plug from the wall socket.
2. Disconnect the charging plug from the vehicle.
3. Cover the connector cap onto the charging plug.
4. Insert the charging cable into the carrying case.

Indicator Light Description

The indicator lights provide status information:

Light State Key: ⚪ Off, ? Stays On, ? Flashing, ? x 8 Flashing Times.

Remarks: The frequency of error light flash is 0.5s. A continuous loop starts after the light flash stops for 2s.

Control Box Function:

• Leakage protection (restart recover).
• Over voltage, under-voltage protection (self-checking recover).
• Lightning protection.
• Over current protection.
• Overheat protection.

Troubleshooting

Refer to the following for common issues:

CP Voltage Abnormal (? x 1)

1. Unplug the power plug from the wall socket.
2. Unplug the charging plug from the vehicle.
3. Plug them in again and check if the problem persists.
4. If the problem continues, contact customer service.

Under-Voltage Protection / Over-Voltage Protection (? x 2/3)

The voltage is unstable, triggering low/high voltage protection. Please wait for a while; it should work normally.

Ground Fault (? x 4)

This may occur if there is no ground wire. Long press the delay button for 3 seconds to switch to No Grounding mode.

Over Current Protection (? x 5)

The current is unstable, triggering high current protection. Please wait for a while; it should work normally.

Leakage Protection (? x 7)

1. Cut off the electricity immediately.
2. Unplug the power plug from the wall socket.
3. Unplug the charging plug from the vehicle.
4. Contact customer service for assistance.

Over-Temperature Protection (? x 8)

If the control box temperature is too high, unplug the charging cable until it cools down. The control box may automatically switch to a lower charging power to prevent overheating. If the temperature remains high even at the lowest power setting, charging will terminate for safety. You can reconnect the power plug to restart charging once the control box has cooled down completely.

Storage

The IEC 62196 AC EVSE Portable Electric Vehicle Charger must be stored in a clean and dry location, away from any high heat sources. Avoid oily or corrosive substances contacting the control box, cable, and plugs/connectors during use. Avoid any fall or drop that causes impacts to the control box. Do not forcefully pull the charge cable or damage it with sharp objects. Do not store the EV charger in places where rodents can enter.

Warnings

• Do NOT step on, pull, fold, or knot the cable.
• Do NOT drop the control box or place heavy objects on it.
• Do NOT place the charging cable near high-temperature objects.
• Do NOT place the unit in a car or a closed room while charging.
• Do NOT use the unit in extreme temperatures (Normal operating range: -30 °C to +50 °C).
• Do NOT charge if the power socket is damaged, rusted, cracked, or loosely connected.
• Do NOT use this unit if the cable is damaged.
• Do NOT use this unit with an extension cord or adapter.
• Do NOT insert fingers into the charging plug.
• Do NOT attempt to repair the unit yourself. If it malfunctions, contact the seller for after-service.
• Do NOT contact metal conductors to prevent electric shock accidents.
• Do NOT pound the unit, as its thermoplastic shell could be damaged, reducing its working life.
• This product is for EV charging only.
• Use the product under normal conditions, away from high temperature, erosive materials, or ignition sources.
• Ensure the charging plug, cable, and control box are free from scratches, rust, cracks, etc.
• Before charging, verify compatibility between the power plug and outlet.
• Use only on mains with a fault current circuit breaker.
• The product must be grounded.

FAQ

Q: Why can't my charger be charged?

A: Please follow the red light flashes frequency to determine the specific error. Check the connection between the charging plug and vehicle, as well as the power plug and the socket. Due to high temperatures, the circuit board may temporarily shut down to protect the charging safety and car battery. Please continue to charge after the temperature is reduced.

Q: Is it normal that my charger gets hot?

A: Due to high current flow through the device, the charger can get hot at the interface, especially when charging outdoors at higher temperatures. If the temperature is too high, the charger switches to a lower current mode automatically to ensure the safety of the charging process. It is suggested that using a lower current to charge in normal situations to ensure safety.

Q: Why does the display of voltage and current fluctuate up and down?

A: Because the alternating current at home may be unstable, voltage and power fluctuations are normal within 10%. This has no effect on charging.

Q: Charging Indicator does not illuminate?

A: Check the circuit breaker and other circuit loads. Try another wall outlet.
