Simple troubleshooting

Analysis and treatment of common faults
Refer to the maintenance manual for detailed treatment

the visual window of lightning protection is red, it means it is damaged, please replace it.
1| Emergency stop fault| • Please check whether the emergency stop button is pressed and not pulled out. If the fault has been solved, please pull up the emergency stop button.
11| Over temperature protection of air outlet| • Please check whether the air duct of the system is blocked and whether there is too much dust on the dust screen.
• Please check whether the air outlet fan of charger works normally. If the fan fails, please replace the fan.
32| Access protection| • Please check whether the cabinet door is completely closed;
• Confirm that the door is closed, but the alarm still appears. Please check the status of the micro switch. If it is damaged, please replace it.
20| Charging module failure| • Check the module fault code, confirm the fault type and find the fault cause.
• Pull out the fault module and replace the spare module.
• Check whether the alarm light of RCD device is on. If the lamp is on, it indicates that the system has leakage fault,
3| RCD action| • It is necessary to check whether there is insulation fault in the circuit at the back end of RCD;
• Check whether the casing is reliably grounded.

Notice: in order to prevent personal electric shock accident, all switches of the equipment and front-end power distribution switch of the equipment shall be disconnected during fault detection and treatment, and protective measures shall be taken.
