Overview of available options Safety The housing has to be partially opened to connect the options. WARNING! Danger of electric shock. This may result in serious injuries or death. ▶ The housing must never be opened by anyone other than a service technician trained by the manufacturer.
External start/ The external start/stop option prevents spark formation at the charging plug if it stop is disconnected during charging. Special contacts inside the charging plug re- gister a disconnection. These contacts are leading in comparison to the main contacts. An immediate charging stop is triggered. There is therefore no wear on the main contacts and the level of safety against oxyhydrogen ignition is in- creased.
