Danger for persons due to magnetic field (non-ionizing radiation)!
This function does not replace the attention of the user, to keep away from the charging station
during the charging process!
It can happen, that body parts or living beings are not detected by the LOD function and as a result
the protection from electromagnetic hazards is restricted!
The LOD function ensures, that body parts of people or animals are detected in the space between GPM and CPM.
This safety function protects people or animals from the dangers of the strong electromagnetic field, with the
charging process stopping when a living object is detected. It depends on the vehicle integration, whether the
charging process is resumed automatically as soon as the living object is no longer detected by the GPM.
5.4.7 Foreign Object Detection (FOD)
DANGER
Danger for persons due to magnetic field (non-ionizing radiation)!
This function does not replace the duty of the user, to keep the charging station free of foreign
objects!
It is possible, that certain foreign objects are not detected by the FOD function and as a result the
protection from thermal dangers is restricted!
The FOD function ensures, that there are no electrically conducting foreign objects on the GPM during the charging
process. Electrically conducting objects are relevant, as they can experience heating through electromagnetic
induction in the electromagnetic field. This function stops the charging process when a foreign object is detected.
This safety function prevents a heating up of electrically conductive foreign objects during the charging process and
consequently reduces thermal dangers, such as e.g. fire or hot surfaces.
This function must be initialized during commissioning and after mains failures, see 7.3.1.2. In rare cases this
initializing can also be necessary during normal operation, see 7.3.1.2.
5.4.8 Control of the Efficiency
DANGER
Danger for persons due to magnetic field (non-ionizing radiation)!
This function does not replace the duty of the user, to keep the GPM free of foreign objects!
It is possible, that certain foreign objects are not detected due to the function of the Efficiency Control
and as a result the protection from thermal dangers is restricted!
If the efficiency falls below a certain limit value, e.g. due to the vehicle rolling away during charging, then the
charging process is shut down. As a result it is ensured, that no energy is transmitted to the system environment.
This safety function also prevents the heating of electrically conductive foreign objects during the charging process
and thus reduces thermal dangers, such as e.g. fire or hot surfaces.
