Electric shock, fire
DANGER
The incorrect electrical installation of the charger can
cause electric shock or fire when the high-voltage
battery is charged using the vehicle charge port.
e
Installation on the power grid and initial opera-
tion of the charger may only be carried out by
a qualified electrician. The qualified electrician is
fully responsible for compliance with the relevant
standards and regulations. Porsche recommends
that you use a certified Porsche service partner.
e
The charger should only be operated in properly
grounded power supply systems. Operation in
ungrounded systems (e. g. IT networks) is not
possible.
e
The cross-section of the power cable for the
electrical socket is defined in accordance with
the wire length and the locally applicable regula-
tions and standards.
e
To ensure uninterrupted charging, we recom-
mend that you only use electrical termination
that are connected via a separately fused electric
circuit for charging.
e
The charger is designed for use in the private and
semi-public sector, e.g. on private property or in
company parking lots.
e
Unauthorized persons (e.g. playing children) or
animals must not have access to the charger or
the vehicle during unsupervised charging.
e
g Please read the safety instructions in the in-
stallation instructions and the Owner's Manual.
Electric shock, fire
DANGER
Incorrect handling of the plug contacts can lead to
electric shock or fire.
e
Do not touch the contacts on the vehicle charge
port and charger.
e
Do not insert any objects into the vehicle charge
port or charger.
e
Protect electrical sockets and plug connections
against moisture, water and other liquids.
Risk of fatal injury as a re-
DANGER
sult of modifications
Conversion of the charger, e.g. from mode 3 (wall box
mode) to mobile mode 2, can cause short circuits,
electric shocks, explosions, fires or burns. Risk of fatal
injury!
e
After the charger has been installed by quali-
fied personnel for mode 3 (wall box mode), the
charging equipment must not be dismantled and
operated in mobile mode. If the charger is dis-
mantled and operated in mobile mode, you bear
all the resultant consequences yourself.
Flammable or explosive
WARNING
vapors
Components of the charger can cause sparks and
ignite flammable or explosive vapors.
e
To reduce the risk of explosion, –particularly in
garages–, make sure that the control unit is lo-
cated at least 19.7 in. (50 cm) above the floor
during charging.
e
Do not install the charger in potentially explosive
areas.
