TAKING INTO OPERATION AND CHARGING PROCEDURE
12
Taking into operation and charging procedure
Your wallbox is ready for use immediately after mechanical and electrical installation
have been completed. The EVSE 803/813 is equipped with a fixed charging cable with a
type 1 charging connector to connect to the vehicle. This connector has three current-
carrying contacts, a PE-protective earth conductor as well as two signaling contacts
(Control Pilot and Proximity Pilot), which ensure a secure connection and therefore the
safe operation of the charging station.
As long as the connector is not locked into place in the vehicle
socket, there will be no feedback response via the signaling
contacts of the charging connector: As a result, charging will
not be initiated and the EVSE 803/813 will not apply a voltage
to the connector’s current-carrying contacts.
The wallbox has an additional built-in DC-monitoring unit (DC-
RCM): This module ensures that no DC fault current (DC current > 6 mA) can reach
the domestic power installations and disrupt the proper functioning of the upstream
domestic residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) during vehicle charging. This circuit
breaker is especially required in cases where your electric vehicle does not provide any
DC fault current protection itself: You can find information about this in the manual for
your vehicle and from the manufacturer or vehicle dealership.
Safety information for taking the wallbox into operation
Before you take your EVSE 803/813 the wallbox into operation, you must observe the
following safety notices:
• Ensure that the wallbox has been installed according to the instructions in this manu-
al: Check especially that access to the wallbox is unobstructed, that it is not exposed
to direct sunlight or rain and that the electric vehicle can be connected without any
strain or other encumbrance on the charging cable.
• Ensure that the EVSE 803/813 has been connected to the domestic power supply
according to the instructions in this manual:
• Ensure that the supply cable is separately protected in your domestic power distri-
bution box by a separate miniature circuit breaker (MCB, C characteristic).
• Ensure that the integrated RCCB integrated or any external RCCB is switched on.
• Ensure that the housing cover shield is always locked during operation.
• Ensure that the charging cable is not twisted and check that cable, connector and
housing do not show any observable damage.
