MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

DANGER
READ AND FOLLOW THE “SAFETY CONCERNS” AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS MANUAL BEFORE USING THIS DEVICE

EV Charging Stations require regular maintenance beyond installation to ensure the quality of the vehicle’s charge, and the continued value of your electric vehicle. Whether you’re installing a personal EV charger, or a public one for use, eventually you will require repair or maintenance services to keep your system working without flaws.

MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS

Each of the capacitors in this device have a high voltage for a time after shutting off the input power supply. Allow 1 minute after powering down before servicing internal components.

MAINTENANCE ITEMS
Perform periodic checks every 3 to 6 months based on the site conditions and the usage of the charging station.

  1. Check the input voltage and ensure it is within the acceptable limits.
  2. Check the Ground / Earth resistance and ensure it is within the acceptable limits
  3. Clean the Air Filter periodically
  4. Make sure that Power Module lights are blinks green
  5. Ensure the charging cables are not worn out and gun pins are clean.
  6. Make sure all the air-cooling fans are working normally
VISUAL CHECK ITEMS
  1. Check for abnormal sound from running fans and power units. If there is abnormal sound, please contact Tellus 949-534-3000 for further assistance.
  2. Check for abnormal odor, changes of inner materials, corrosion, anomaly in appearance, etc., in this device. If there are any anomalies, please contact a Tellus service representative for further assistance.
  3. Check for dust and dirt in this device regularly. The air filters on the doors can be removed and cleaned using a vacuum cleaner or air blower. The cabinet can be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner. The dust on the components can be cleaned using a soft cloth. Please pay extra attention while using the vacuum cleaner, it should not apply pressure on the control boards or any components.

REPLACEMENT OF FIXED-LIFE COMPONENTS
To prevent the device from failure due to worn out components, it is necessary to replace the components before they reach the end of their lifespan. Use the following replacement intervals as a guideline for the estimate of the total running time. Please contact a Tellus service representative for further assistance when you replace the parts.

  • Intake and exhaust air filters (if present): Approximately three (3) years. The period depends upon the site conditions.
  • Please keep in mind that the replacement interval of each part can vary depending on, for example, the usage environment of the device.
