SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 Information for the owner and operator of the charging system
•
Read the operating manual before starting up the charging system.
•
Ensure that all persons working on or using this charging system
o
have read the operating manual,
o
follow the regulations and instructions for working without risk.
•
Keep the equipment documentation at a location where it is always accessible to the operators of the
charging system.
•
Ensure that no unauthorized persons can access the charging system.
1.2 Intended use
The charging system is intended for use in private and semiprivate areas, e.g. private properties, corporate parking
areas, or depots. Do not use the charging system where explosive or combustible substances (e.g. gases, liquids,
or dusts) are stored or are present. The charging system is intended exclusively for charging electric vehicles.
•
Charging in accordance with type 3 of IEC 61851-1
•
Plug-and-socket connectors in accordance with IEC 62196
•
The charging system is intended for use only in TT, TN-C, and TN-C-S networks. The charging system
must not be operated in IT networks.
The charging system is not suitable for charging vehicles with outgassing batteries (e.g. lead-acid batteries). The
charging system is operated as an individual station without a superordinate control system. The charging system is
intended exclusively for stationary installation. The charging system may only be operated and used by persons
who have read the operating manual. The electrical installation, start-up, and maintenance of the charging system
may only be performed by qualified electricians who have been correspondingly authorized by the operator. The
qualified electricians must have read and understood the equipment documentation and must comply with its
instructions.
Requirements regarding the qualification of electricians
Knowledge of and compliance with the 5 safety rules for working with electrical installations:
-
Isolate.
-
Secure against reactivation.
-
Check absence of voltage.
-
Ground and short-circuit.
-
Cover or block off live parts in the vicinity.
Reactivation is carried out in reverse order.
•
Knowledge of the general and special safety regulations and accident prevention regulations.
•
Knowledge of the relevant electrotechnical regulations, e.g. checks associated with commissioning and the
requirements for operating facilities, rooms, and special types of equipment - power supply for electric
vehicles.
•
Ability to recognize risks and to avoid potential hazards.
When installing and handling the charging system, the user, the operator, and the electrician must comply with the
national regulations on safety and accident prevention. Improper use and non-compliance with the operating manual
may jeopardize:
•
your life
•
your health
•
charging system and vehicle.
Safety devices on the charging system
•
must not be removed,
•
must not be manipulated,
•
must not be bypassed,
•
before each use, it must be checked that the equipment (e.g. housing, connecting line, charging coupler) is
undamaged,
•
must be repaired or replaced as necessary, in order to preserve the functional properties.
Ensure that:
•
safety identifications, e.g. yellow-colored marks,
•
danger signs and
•
safety lights remain permanently recognizable and retain their effectiveness.
•
When operating the charging system, do not use any extension cables, cable drums, multiple sockets and
travel adapters.
•
Do not insert any objects into the charging coupler of the charging system.
•
Protect the socket-outlets and plug-in connections against moisture and water or other liquids.
•
Never immerse the charging system or the charging coupler in water or other liquids.
•
Do not disconnect the charging coupler from the vehicle during charging.
Heidelberg takes responsibility only of the charging system in its delivered condition and for any work performed by
skilled Heidelberg personnel.
1.3 Information for people with a pacemaker (PM) or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)
Charging systems from Heidelberg that are operated as intended, comply with the European guideline on
electromagnetic compatibility regarding radiated interference. Should people with a pacemaker (PM) or implantable
cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) wish to conduct activities on charging systems and their devices in the intended
manner, Heidelberg is not in a position to make any statement regarding the suitability of such medial devices.
Heidelberg is not able to assess the pacemakers or concerned implantable cardioverter defibrillators with regard to
their susceptibility to electromagnetic radiation. This is something that only the manufacturers of the pacemaker or
implantable cardioverter defibrillator can do. Heidelberg therefore recommends only allowing the people in question
to work on its charging systems after consultation with the manufacturer of the pacemaker/defibrillator and the
relevant insurance company. Ensure at all times that no health or safety risks are involved.
Note
People with a pacemaker or defibrillator may not work on or stand near the charging systems and their devices, e.g.
to perform maintenance operations or rectify any faults.
1.4 Working on the charging system without risk
Before plugging the charging coupler into the vehicle
•
The connecting line of the charging system must be completely unwound.
•
Check whether the housing of the charging system, the connecting line, the charging coupler, and the
connectors are undamaged.
•
Take hold of the plug-in connection of the charging system only on the charging coupler and not on the
charging cable.
•
Ensure that there are no tripping hazards present, e.g. the charging cable.
During the charging process
•
Keep unauthorized persons away from the charging system.
•
When the charging system is connected, you must not clean or wash the vehicle with a high-pressure
cleaner because the plug-in connection is not sealed against pressurized water.
In case of malfunctions or failure of the charging system
•
Disconnect the charging system from the power supply by switching off the respective circuit breaker in the
building. Leave a sign with the name of the person authorized to switch on the circuit breaker.
•
Call in a qualified electrician immediately.
Electrical devices
•
The housing of the charging system must always be kept closed.
