Information for Use
- When using the 16A charging mode, ensure the electrical socket has a rated current of at least 16A. If using a standard 10A socket, set the charging current to no more than 10A. Failure to comply may void the warranty if the charger is damaged due to incorrect current settings.
- Do not place flammable materials, explosives, chemicals, or other hazardous substances near the device.
- Keep the charging connector clean. If dirty, wipe 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 source or the vehicle before cleaning.
- Do not use the charger if the cable is damaged, cracked, worn, or has exposed wires. Contact the dealer if you notice any of these issues.
- Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the charger yourself. Improper operation can lead to equipment damage, leakage, or power loss.
- If any anomalies occur during use, immediately disconnect the power supply.
- Use the charger under a canopy during precipitation. Protect from rain and snow.
- Children must not use or approach the device while it is charging due to the risk of injury.
- It is strictly forbidden to remove the charging plug from the socket without authorization during the charging process, as this endangers the safety of the vehicle or user.
- Vehicles must not move while charging. Charging should only be performed when the vehicle is stationary. This applies to all vehicle types.
Charging Tips
- Ensure your electrical installation is equipped with a Type B residual current circuit breaker.
- Connect the charger to a 230V socket.
- (Optional) Set the charging delay by pressing the button with the clock icon.
- Set the desired charging current using the "A" button.
- Connect the charging cable to the vehicle.
- Monitor the charging progress on the LCD display.
- When charging is complete, first disconnect the device from the vehicle, then from the power socket.
How to Start Charging?
- Firmly insert the plug into the mains socket. Illustration 2: Ensure the power socket complies with national standards and has a current rating of 16A.
- Press button [A] to switch charging current modes, and press the [Clock] button to schedule the charging delay. Illustration 3
- Gently pull the cover and fully insert the charging connector into the vehicle's socket.
- Illustration 4: Ensure the charging connector is fully inserted until it clicks.
- The device will start charging.
Current Setting
Press button [A] to switch the current mode. The mode can be activated by pressing button [A] when the charger is on and no car is connected.
- 16A devices support four current modes: 8A, 10A, 13A, and 16A.
- 32A devices support four current modes: 16A, 20A, 24A, and 32A.
Charging Delay Setting

Troubleshooting
| Error Code | Safety Feature | Recommended Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Error - A | Thermal overload protection | 1. Check if the current mode is correct. 2. Disconnect the electric vehicle charging connector and the power connector. After the charger cools down, try again. If the error persists, contact the dealer. |
| Error - B | Short circuit protection (CP) | 1. Disconnect the electric vehicle charging connector and the power connector, then reconnect the power connector. 2. If Error - B does not appear on the LCD screen, there is a short circuit on the car's CP. 3. If Error - B still appears on the LCD screen, contact the dealer. |
| Error - C | Overvoltage protection | 1. Check if the supply voltage exceeds the permissible limit. 2. If the voltage at the power socket is too high, wait for the supply voltage to normalize. 3. If the power socket voltage is correct but the charger still shows Error - C, contact the dealer. |
| Error - D | Undervoltage protection | 1. Check if the supply voltage is below the permissible limit. 2. If the voltage at the power socket is too low, wait for the supply voltage to normalize. 3. If the power socket voltage is correct but the charger still shows Error - D, contact the dealer. |
| Error - F | Short circuit protection | 1. Disconnect the electric vehicle charging connector and the power connector, then reconnect the power connector. 2. If Error - F is not visible on the LCD screen, there is a short circuit on the car's side. 3. If Error - F still appears on the LCD screen, contact the dealer. |
| Error - G | Leakage protection | 1. Disconnect the electric vehicle charging connector and the power connector, then reconnect the power connector. 2. If Error - G is not visible on the LCD screen, there is a leakage current on the car's side. 3. If Error - G still appears on the LCD screen, contact the dealer. |
| Error - H | Other | Contact your dealer. |
