Where's the in-line "bulky box"? Metron portable chargers are truly unique because all the charging station electronics is placed inside Type 2 charging plug itself! The biggest advantage of this design is the fact that METRON portable chargers don't have that heavy in-line "bulky box" as others do, what makes them lighter, easier to install/connect and also easier to store in a carrier case. METRON portable chargers also offer the possibility to set desired charging current/power by simply pressing a button. GET STARTED First plug the portable charger in the wall outlet. Immediately signal LED starts blinking: number of blinks tells you what is the saved power setting (see the next page). Afterwards LED glows constantly till AC power is present indicating standby/ready status. When you plug it into the vehicle Type 2 socket it starts blinking slowly which means the vehicle is charging. When your electric vehicle is fully charged the LED glows constantly again. 1 SNETATSINTAGVTITHEEVDZEESLIERNEDEGCAHPAORGLNINILGNECGUARRTEONKTA//PMOOWCEIR METRON portable chargers allow user to set desired charging current/power, before being plugged in the electric vehicle Type 2 socket, or even while the vehicle is charging! Procedure is simple: · press and hold the push button: LED switches off immediately · after 5 seconds LED starts blinking slowly · Releasing the push button after a certain number of blinks determines charging current/power as follows: LED light Push Button PC03A PC03G Number of LED blinks Charging current/power Number of LED blinks Charging current/power 1 6 A / 1,4 kW 1 6 A / 1,4 kW 2 8 A / 1,8 kW 2 8 A / 1,8 kW 3 10 A / 2,3 kW 3 10 A / 2,3 kW 4 13 A / 3,0 kW 4 13 A / 3,0 kW 5 16 A / 3,7 kW* * 16A available only in case wall plug contains a temperature sensor.

STATUS NOTIFICATION BY LED BLINKS LED STATUS Slow blinking when power supply is applied Constantly on when not plugged in Slow blinking when plugged in Constantly on when plugged in NOTIFICATION Indicating previous saved current setting Stand-by / Ready to charge Charging Electric vehicle fully charged 2 Slow blinking 2 times when plugged in Slow blinking 3 times (plugged in or not plugged in) Slow blinking 5 times (plugged in or not plugged in) Rapid blinking (plugged in or not plugged in) Electric vehicle requests room ventilation (no charging) Portable charger overheated (no charging); restarts charging automatically when it cools down Wall plug overheated (no charging); restarts charging automatically when it cools down; applies only to versions with wall plug integrated over-tem perature protection Fault The use of portable charger versions without RCD protection is allowed exclusively on the installations, protected by RCD. Household 16A Schuko wall sockets must be designed for constant 16A current! In the event the cable has been damaged the product should be removed from use immediately!

WHAT IS RCD AND HOW DOES IT WORK? RCD is an acronym for Residual Current Device - sometimes it can be called also Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker or Safety Switch. Its purpose is to prevent you from getting a fatal electric shock if you touch live part, such as a bare copper wire under high voltage. RCDs offer a level of personal protection that ordinary fuses/circuit-breakers cannot provide. RCD constantly monitors the electric current flowing through one or more circuits which it protects. If it detects electricity flowing down an unintended path, such as through a person who has touched a live part, the RCD will switch the circuit off very quickly, significantly reducing the risk of death or serious injury. PC03A and PC03G are equipped with Type A on-the-cable RCD while PC03C has an in-plug built RCD. Red indicator Red indicator PC03A and PC03G: To start charging press "RESET" button on RCD. Red indicator should become visible. PC03C: To start charging press "RESET" button on RCD. Red indicator should become visible. On request PC03A and PC03G can be also supplied without RCDs. The use of PC03A and PC03G portable charger version without RCD protection is allowed exclusively on the installations protected by RCD. In the event the cable has been damaged the product should be removed from use immediately!
