The device can be used as a standalone device or in a
network of several devices. If required, the device can be
connected to a Backend-System, e.g. the chargecloud.
In some countries there are statutory regulations that
require the charging point to switch to a de-energised
state, as soon as a load contactor sticks (welding detec-
tion). A shunt release switches the charging point to de-
energised status if an error occurs.
Legal requirements in some countries provide additional
protection against electric shock. A possible additional
protective measure can be the use of a shutter.
The device may only be operated taking into account all
international and national regulations. Please observe the
following international regulations or the respective natio-
nal transposition:
IEC 61851-1
