degree of risk, which if not avoided could result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION: This designates a danger with a low degree of
risk, which if not avoided could result in a minor or moderate injury.
Note: This refers to additional information that is not associated with dangers.
2.2 Safety instructions
· Before each charging process, check whether the charging cable or contacts of the charging plug are damaged. Do not use damaged charging cables. There is a risk of electrical shock!
· Never repair defective charging cables yourself.
· Before each charging process, check whether the vehicle inlet (plug of the vehicle) is damaged. Do not connect any charging cables with a damaged vehicle inlet.
· Make sure that the contacts of the charging plug do not come into contact with heat sources, dirt or water.

· Never reach into the socket of the charging station.
· Do not step on the charging cable or kink the cable.
· Make sure that neither children nor pets are allowed to come into the vicinity of the connected charging cable. Never let children play with the operating terminal and charging station.
· Do not pull the plug out of the socket by the cable. Pulling on the charging cable may damage the charging cable or the locking mechanism.
· Never remove the charging cable using force. Dangerous electrical arcs can cause serious injuries or death.
· Unwind the charging cable completely to prevent overheating.
· Only use standard-compliant charging cables (in accordance with Standard EN 62196-1, EN 62196-2 and EN 50620).
· Never open the payment terminal and charging station yourself. Only specialist personnel or persons acting under the instructions of specialist personnel are allowed to open the payment terminal and charging station.

12 Guidelines and standards
The following guidelines and standards were observed: · Guidelines · Low Voltages Directive 2014/35/EU · EMV Directive 2014/30/EU · ROHS Directive 2011/65/EU · WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU
· Standards · EN 61851-1 · EN 61439-7 · EN 61000-6-2 · EN 61000-6-3 · EN 61000-3-2 · EN 61000-3-3

RCD (Residual-current circuit device) RCD or residual current devices are fault-current protection devices that interrupt a power circuit when a fault current is detected. This can occur if a small portion of the current is discharged by the human body and does not flow back into the power circuit via the RCD. RCDs are triggered by 30 mA at the latest.
Safety socket
Safety socket refers to a common household socket with 230 volts.
Welding detection
The welding detection identifies whether the contacts of the contactor have become welded (stuck together) due to a defect. In the event of a welding error, a dangerous voltage will be maintained and the status LED will light up red.
Sub-main distribution circuit
The sub-main distribution circuit is used to distribute the current within a building. It is located in the fuse box and is made up of various switch and fuse elements.

13 Glossary
Unfortunately, the use of specialist terms cannot always be avoided. For this reason, you will find a brief explanation of some specialist terms and abbreviations in our glossary:
Vehicle inlet The vehicle inlet of the electric vehicle accommodates the charging plug of the charging cable. In a certain sense, the vehicle inlet is the socket of the electric vehicle.
Charging mode 3 Charging mode 3 is used for one-phase or three-phase charging with alternating current for permanently installed charging units. The charging process with alternating current is controlled by the communication between charging station and vehicle. The charging station is able to detect, among other things, the charging capacity of the charging cable, any interruption of the charging process as well as the maximum available charging current.
Automatic cutout Automatic cutouts (also known as circuit breakers) separate the power circuit from the mains if an overload or short circuit causes the power to exceed a specific value.
Lock-release function The lock-release function ensures that the charging plug automatically unlocks if there is a power loss during the charging process.

14 Commissioning
Before commissioning the installation, a commissioning
inspection must be carried out in accordance with DIN VDE 0100-722!
