AC01 Charging Connector
User Manual

Type 2 to Schuko 16A

Charging connector AC01 is designed to enable charging electric devices (electric bicycles, scooters, etc) with normal Schuko (Type F) 16A plugs from EV charging stations with Type 2 (IEC 62196) sockets. It sends signals “car connected” and “car ready to charge” to the charging station thus enabling charging from the connector’s Schuko outlet.

GET STARTED

  1. Plug charging connector to charging station Type 2 socket.
  2. Turn-on Switch (A) (see picture above) => charging station gets the message “car connected” and locks the connector (if it features a plug lock function).
  3. Turn on Switch (B) (see picture above) => immediately after switching on switch (B), the charging station gets the message “car ready to charge”.
  4. Then the charging station energizes its relays/contactors and you have voltage/power on the connector’s Schuko outlet.

When you want to stop charging, use the opposite procedure; first, turn off the second switch (B) and then the first one (A). This will de-energize the connector, unlock the connector at the charging station socket and let you pull out the connector.
Some stations do not require this procedure to be followed, they start charging when you plug in the connector with both switches at the “ON” position.

Schuko socket overtemperature protection function description: AC01 connector has built-in a very high-quality Schuko socket that won’t overheat at a continuous current of 16A. But if the Schuko plug that is inserted in the connector’s Schuko socket is bad quality it can dissipate a lot of heat. This heat is then detected by the connector’s temperature sensor and if/when it exceeds the allowed temperature the connector sends a signal to the charging station to disconnect power. When it cools down the connector automatically sends a signal to the charging station to apply power back. This process can repeat endlessly.
The connector does not function with charging stations that have charging cable Type 2 attached.
Never draw more than 16A from the charging connector!
