The charging station may only be mounted and connected, opened or modified by an electrical technician. The appropriate mounting and installation instructions for electrical installation engineers are included with the product.

Charging an electric vehicle

WARNING

Risk of electric shock!
If the device presents defects or damage, then this can cause a fire or people could be injured by an electric shock. Only use devices in perfect condition to charge electric vehicles. Do not touch the contact pins of the charging cable.

Note!

If the temperature of the charging station rises above 60 °C, the charging operation is interrupted automatically until the charging station has cooled down to 40 °C. OBO-BETTERMANN-WB-AC-BL-KS-Ion-Wallbox-Key-Protect-

Operating instructions, Ion charging station

Switch on the charging station using the on/off switch or key switch 1 . → Status LED flashes blue 2
CAUTION
Risk of tripping!
A cable lying around poses a risk of tripping. Keep children away from the charging electric vehicle. Use the cable bracket when the charging operation has been completed.
Unwind the charging cable fully.
Remove the protective cap of the charging connector
ATTENTION
Damage to the charging cable/charging connector! The charging cable may not be subject to tension. Park the vehicle as close to the charging station as possible so that the charging cable is not taut. No adapter connectors or extensions may be used.
Connect the charging connector to the electric vehicle 3 . → Status LED is continuously blue.

Damage to the charging station!
During the charging operation, the charging station may not be switched on/off multiple times using the on/off switch or key switch. Always start, interrupt and end the charging operation using the function of the electric vehicle.

Damage to the charging station!
The vehicle may not be moved during the charging operation.

Start the charging operation on the vehicle. → Status LED is continuously green 4 and there is a clicking noise. OBO-BETTERMANN-WB-AC-BL-KS-Ion-
Wallbox-Key-Protect-fig-19
