Envirotainer RKN e1 Container
3. CHARGING
WARNING
• Charging must not take place inside an airplane!
• Do not charge the container outdoors or in a damp, moist environments because of the risk for
electric shocks.
• Caution should be exercised when the container is moved and the electrical cable is fully extended.
In addition please visually inspect the electrical cable for any abnormalities before connecting it to
a power source.
IMPORTANT
• The battery switch only disconnects the batteries from the refrigeration system.
Refer to chapter 6.10 Battery Switch.
• The container can be charged while it is operating or while it is switched off. The charging
procedure / charging time is not affected if the container is operating while charging.
• The time required to charge the container will depend on the battery level at the start of charging.
The maximum time needed for charging is 8 hours. This is true regardless of whether the
container is operating during charging or not.
• During the first hour of charging the SOC (battery percentage) is not updated on the display. As
long as the blue charge indicator is flashing, charging is in progress. The display will switch
between showing ”Container info” and “Info, Pre-charging, Please wait”.
• Always pull out all of the cable when charging, approximately 10 meters (32 ft.). Charging with
part of the cable inside the cable winder can cause damages to the cable winder.
• Avoid use of additional extension cable as far as possible.
• The container charges quickest in ambient temperatures between 0°C to +20°C
(+32°F to +68°F). If charging is carried out in temperatures outside this temperature range the
charging capacity, and consequently the resulting battery energy, may be reduced.
• Charging shall not be performed if the ambient temperature is below -20°C (-4°F) or above
+40°C (+104°F).
• To avoid overload of power supply fuse, only connect one container per single-phase. The charging
requires 1200 W when the container is switched off and 1850 W when the container is operating
during charging.
• 120V supply will as minimum require a 20A circuit capability.
• 240V supply will as minimum require a 10A circuit capability.
