On the back of the front panel are eight configuration
switches. These configuration switches are used to set the
charging current upper limit and the colour scheme of the
LED info bar.
Changing the setting of the configuration switches takes
effect only after restarting the charging station. This is
achieved by turning the power supply at the control fuse
off and on.
The settings of configuration switches 7 and 8 should
not be changed; they are reserved for future expansions.

6.1.1 Setting the charging current upper limit

The charging current provided can be limited with
configuration switches 1 to 5 (S1 to S5). This allows, for
example, adapting the charging current to the power output
provided by the domestic installation.
The maximum charging current provided depends on the
device type (see name plate) and cannot be exceeded.
The adjustment is made by combining individual
configuration switch settings associated with current values.
The values of the configuration switch settings add up
accordingly. Example: S1 ON and S4 ON corresponds to 9 A.
Here are some examples of switch position for different
charging currents:

Setting a charging current of <6 A is not possible; this
would be considered a limitation to 0 A charging current.
