Characteristics

1. Temperature Monitoring

   A temperature sensor monitors the operating temperature of the charger in real time. If it exceeds the safety temperature, the charger stops immediately. When the temperature returns to normal levels, the charger automatically resumes operation.

2. Automatic Error Correction

   An intelligent chip automatically corrects common charging errors to ensure stable product operation.

3. Safety

   The product has undergone adequate inspection to ensure the highest safety standards during charging for you and your car.

4. Robust Housing

   Made of polycarbonate, the housing is robust and reliable, with internal resistance testing.

5. Current Regulation (depending on model)

6. Charge Delay: 1h / 2h / 5h / 8h

7. LCD Display for charging time, temperature, and operating mode

8. Optional wall mounting with bracket (depending on model)

9. 5 m cable

Usage Information

1. When using the 16A charging mode, use a socket with a nominal current of not less than 16A. If using a standard 10A socket, adjust the amperage mode to no more than 10A. If the charger is damaged due to an incorrectly adjusted amperage mode for the socket, the warranty will not be valid.
2. Do not place flammable, explosive, chemical, or other hazardous substances near the appliance.
3. Keep the charging connector clean; if it is dirty, clean it with a clean, dry cloth; do not touch the metal pins of the connector with your hand. Ensure the charger is not connected to the power supply or the device.
4. Do not use the charger if the cable is damaged, cracked, worn, or has an exposed core. If the above anomalies are noticed, contact the dealer.
5. Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or upgrade the charger yourself. Improper use can cause equipment damage, leakage, current dispersion, etc.
6. In case of anomalies during use, immediately interrupt the power supply.
7. Use the charger under a canopy in case of precipitation. Protect from rain and snow.
8. Children should not use or approach the device while charging, due to the risk of injury.
9. It is strictly forbidden to remove the charging plug from the socket without authorization during the charging process, due to the risk to the vehicle or user's safety.
10. Vehicles must not move during charging. Charging can only be done with the vehicle stationary. This applies to all types of vehicles.

Charging Tips

1. Ensure that the electric installation is equipped with a Type B residual current device.
2. Connect the charger to a 230 V power socket.
3. (Optional) Set the charging delay by pressing the button with the clock icon ⏰.
4. Set the desired amperage (button "A").
5. Connect the charging cable to the vehicle.
6. Monitor progress on the LCD display.
7. At the end, disconnect the device first from the vehicle and then from the socket.

How to Start Charging?

1. Insert the plug firmly into the power socket.
   Illustration 2: Ensure the power socket complies with national standards and has a nominal current of 16 A.
2. Press the [A] button to switch the charging current mode, press the [Clock] button ⏰ to program the charging delay.
   Illustration 3
3. Gently pull the cap and fully insert the charging plug into the vehicle's socket.
   Figure 4: Ensure the charging plug is fully inserted until you hear a click.
4. The device will start charging.

Current Setting

Press the [A] button -> Switch current mode

1. The mode can be activated by pressing the [A] button when the charger is on and no car is connected.
2. The 16A unit supports four current modes: 8A, 10A, 13A, and 16A.
3. The 32A unit supports four current modes: 16A, 20A, 24A, and 32A.

Charge Delay Setting

Illustration 5

1. Press [Clock] ⏰ -> Set time. The mode can be activated by pressing the [Clock] button when the charger is on and no car is connected.
2. The charging delay increases by 1 hour each time the [Clock] button is pressed. The maximum delay is 8 hours.

How Can I Interrupt Charging?

1. Press the button and disconnect the charging plug.
2. Close the vehicle socket cover and apply the charging plug's protective cap.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power socket.
4. Place the charger in its bag.

* Some car models lock the charging plug when the power is active (turn off the power before removing the charging plug).
