Safety instructions

2.4 Safety during operation

Do not perform any installation, maintenance, or configuration work during a thunderstorm.
Do not connect the vehicle to or disconnect it from the charging station during a storm.
Damage to sockets and charging cable
Inspect sockets and the charging cable for damage on a regular basis. Damaged charging
cables endanger safe operation.
If you detect damage to the charging cable, do not commission the cable or stop a running
charging process. Disconnect the charging cable from the mains without touching it. Ensure
that the device cannot be switched back on.
If you notice damage to the charging station, take it out of service. To do this, disconnect the
charging station from power supply and secure it against a restart.
Defective connectors or cables may cause fire. The qualified personnel must decommission
the system and replace the damaged components immediately.
Condensed water
Before commissioning the charging station, a skilled electrician must check whether there is
condensed water in the charging station. Remove even small amounts of condensed water
before commissioning.
Moisture in the charging station can lead to electric shock.
Do not switch off the power supply for an extended period of time after commissioning. This
will prevent condensation in the charging station. If the charging station is to be switched off
for a longer period of time, you need to provide suitable moisture protection.
2.4 Safety during operation
Observe the following points when operating the charging station, as well as the applicable
regional standards and regulations. Failure to follow safety instructions may result in
hazardous situations that could cause death or serious injury.
Safety at the work site
When working on roads, construction sites and in public areas, ensure safety in line with local
requirements and regulations.
To perform the work properly, you need to observe:
• Legal specifications

• Road traffic conditions
Note the following:
• Secure the working area in accordance with the "Guidelines for the safety of workstations
on roads" or similar regional regulations.
