C- AND S-OPERATION MANUAL - EN Charging initialization starts automatically in CCS charging. Start button must be pressed in CHAdeMO charging. Figure 9. Using the Satellite post. Follow the Satellite post’s on-screen instructions. The charging status can be seen with smartphone by scanning QR-code from touch screen.
C- AND S-OPERATION MANUAL - EN Ending of the charging sequence can be due to following. Battery is full - charging ends automatically when SOC level of the battery has been achieved. User presses stop button on the display or physical button below the display. Stop requires authorization when activated.
C- AND S-OPERATION MANUAL - EN Figure 10. A simplified example of democratic power management. On a simple case - at the beginning as all EVs are charging on outputs 1-4, each EV receives 25% of the cabinet’s charging power. When the EVs on outputs 2 and 4 end charging, remaining charging power 50% is available and is routed to EVs on outputs 1 and 3 (both receives +25%).

C- AND S-OPERATION MANUAL - EN Figure 11. A simplified example of arrival priority power management. On a simple case - at the beginning as the first EV starts to charge at 75% (150 kW), when the next EV starts to charge at output 3 it receives 25% (50 kW). As the third driver starts to charge on output 2 the first arrived still receives 75% and second and third receive only 12.5% (25 kW each).
C- AND S-OPERATION MANUAL - EN 4.4 Derating of the system in hot conditions Each electric component is subject to derating in hot conditions. In case of heatwave, transformers and charging power units are subject to derating to protect themselves. Should the ambient temperature increase and demand on charging be at high level, charging power levels are automatically decreased.
