5.2 Charging your Electric Vehicle
First connect the grid connector to the power supply socket. The charging electronics will then initialize
which is shown by an oscillating flashing signal. At the same time an automatic self check which tests all
essential functions is carried out. Furthermore, this self check will be carried out at every charging request.
In case the self check fails, possible errors are indicated via the LEDs. After a successful self check only the
LED for the current that was set the last time is illuminated.
Now select the charging current you want using the selection button.
CAUTION! When choosing the charging current take all the following points into account:
a) Maximum current according to the supply cable of the electric system
b) Maximum current according to the grid connector used
c) If an adapter is used: Maximum charging current is automatically limited to the maximum current the adapter is
approved for. Before charging check the charging current which may have been limited by the adapter.
Points a) and b) also apply if an adapter is used.
Connect the vehicle connector to the vehicle.
Once the connected vehicle has been detected by the charging unit, all LED lights will illuminate briefly.
From this point onwards it will no longer be possible to change the charging current using the selection
button on the unit.
Remark: If the correct connection sequence is not applied and the vehicle is already connected, you have
around 10 seconds to set the charging power after connecting the charging unit to the power supply. After
adjusting the setting, you then have at least 4 seconds after releasing the selection button to make another
adjustment. All LEDs should illuminate briefly to indicate that your vehicle has been detected. From this
point onwards it will no longer be possible to change the charging current using the selection button on
the unit.
The charging unit is now in "vehicle charging" mode and, depending on the vehicle type, the charging
process will start after a few seconds.
The set values for the charging current/charging power take the form of upper limits. Depending, for
EN
example, on the battery charging status or the outside temperature, the vehicle may, over the course of
the charging process, set the actual charging current to a lower value than the current set in the App or
directly on the NRGkick.
Remark: NRGkick may remain connected to the power socket when the vehicle is disconnected.
5.3 Interrupting the Charging Process on the Unit
If the selection button is pressed for 4 seconds, the charging process will be interrupted and the charging
unit
will
re-initialize.
You
will
then
be
able
to
change
the
charging
power
again.
This function is only available in the first 2 minutes subsequent to start the charging procedure.
Remark: After initialization, you have 25 seconds to change the setting. The charging unit will then switch
back to "vehicle charging" mode.
5.4 Interrupting the Charging Process
The charging process should normally be stopped on the vehicle. Follow the instruction manual for your
vehicle. The vehicle connector will then be unlocked and can be unplugged. Finally, disconnect the grid
connector on the charging unit.
