6.1 Safety Precaution
DANGER
· All operations, cables and parts specification during the electrical connection shall be in compliance with local laws and regulations.
· Disconnect the upstream switch before electrical connection. Do not work with power on. Otherwise, an electric shock may occur.
· Tie the same type cables together, and place them separately from cables of different types. Do not place the cables entangled or crossed.
· If the cable bears too much tension, the connection may be poor. Reserve a certain length of the cable before connecting it to the charger cable port.
· When crimping the terminals, ensure that the conductor part of the cable is in full contact with the terminals. Do not crimp the cable jacket with the terminal. Otherwise the charger may not operate, or its terminal block getting damaged due to heating and other phenomena because of unreliable connection after the operation.

WARNING
· Connect the AC input cables to the corresponding terminals such as “L1”, “L2”, “L3”, “N” and “PE” ports correctly. Otherwise it will cause damage to the charger.
· Ensure that the whole cable cores are inserted into the terminal holes. No part of the cable core can be exposed.
· Ensure that the cables are connected securely. Otherwise it will cause damage to the charger due to overheat during its operation.

NOTICE
· Wear personal protective equipment like safety shoes, safety gloves, and insulating gloves during electrical connections.
· All electrical connections should be performed by qualified professionals. · Cable colors in this document are for reference only. The cable specifications shall meet local
laws and regulations.

Cause
The charger is disconnected during charging.
The emergency stop button is being pressed.
The AC input grounding cable is disconnected.
The temperature of the charger is more than 80 degree.

Solutions
Re-plug the charger.
Loosen the button. Check and re-connect the grounding cable. The trouble is removed after cooling, and the charger enters into Standby Status.

The AC Input is overvoltage.
The AC Input is undervoltage

The trouble is removed after the voltage is normal, and the charger enters into Standby Status.

The output connection is short-circuited or overcurrent.

The trouble is removed after the output is normal, and the charger enters into Standby Status.

1. The battery of EV is fully charged .
2. The environmental temperature is too low and the battery is not able to be charged.
3. The connection of the charger is abnormal.

1. Check whether the battery charging is finished via softwares.
2. Start the EV for preheating about 5 minutes before charging it when the environment is too cold.
3. Check and re-plug the charger’s connector.
