    Switch on

    The charger is switched on/off via the fuse.

    The charger is ready for operation after approx. 30 seconds.

    Initial behavior of the Charger

    The charger is ready for operation after initial switch-on, the status LED flashes green. RFID authorization is activated at the factory. Charging is only started after successful authorization by pressing one of the two RFID cards included in the scope of delivery. The charger is not connected to the energy management system. The maximum current is set at the factory to 16 A (11 kW / three-phase). The charging process is started (after successful authorization) with the maximum possible charging power.
