Dangers Due To Electrical Current; Protection Against Ingress Of Liquid; Damaged Parts - Siemens SICHARGE D Operating Instructions Manual

Insufficient ventilation
Insufficient ventilation clearances result in components overheating and, in the worst case, in
the generation of smoke and fire. A fire can result in severe injuries.
Furthermore, the service life of installed components is reduced significantly by
overtemperatures.

Dangers due to electrical current

2.4.1

Protection against ingress of liquid

If the doors are locked correctly and the roof is mounted correctly, then the cabinet of the
charging station meets the IP54 degree of protection. The IP54 degree of protection of the
cabinet protects the charging station from ingress of water splashing against it from all
directions. The protection standard prevents ingress of precipitation and any liquid not under
pressure that comes into contact with the cabinet surface.
Also protect the charging station from liquids that exert pressure on the surface of the
cabinet:
• Never use a pressure washer or steam cleaner to clean the charging station
• Set up the charging station at a flood-proof location.
Electric shock due to ingress of liquid
Strong jets of water or flooding can cause liquid to enter the charging station. Moisture or
liquid inside the charging station can cause electric shock.
Observe the following points when there is a risk that liquid may have entered the charging
station:
• Take the charging station out of operation by switching it off at the electrical distributor
• Qualified personnel must dry the charging station and check it for damage.
2.4.2

Damaged parts

Only use undamaged devices or parts
Improper handing can damage devices. Hazardous voltages may be present on the cabinet or
exposed components if devices are damaged. Dangerous voltages can result in severe injuries
or death. Observe the following points:
• Never exceed the limit values of the technical data during transport, storage and
operation.
• Check the charging cables and charging plugs for tempering, damage and foreign bodies
• Never use damaged devices or parts.
