INFORMATION
Safety instructions
Read the safety instructions carefully and study the device to familiarise yourself with it before you
attempt to install, operate or service it.
WARNING
Electrical danger.
The Wallbox must be installed, commissioned, maintained and retrofitted by suitably
trained, qualified and authorised electricians
(1)
who bear full responsibility for compliance
with current standards and installation regulations.
Please note that an additional overvoltage protection may be required by vehicles or
national regulations.
Please refer to national connection and installation standards.
Before commissioning the device check that all screw and terminal connections are tight.
The termination panel must never be left opened unattended. Fit the termination panel
cover when you leave the Wallbox.
Correctly tightened screws on the front part and the termination panel cover are an
essential part of the Wallbox's sealing concept. Refer to the torque values specified in the
procedures for further details.
Do not make any unauthorised changes or modifications to the Wallbox.
Do not remove any identifiers such as safety symbols, warning instructions, rating plates,
labels or cable markings.
(1)
Persons who, as a result of their training, skills and experience and their knowledge of the relevant
standards, can assess the work assigned to them and identify possible dangers.
IMPORTANT
Use a damp cloth or a cleaning product suitable for plastics (for example isopropanol) for
cleaning purposes.
Never clean the Wallbox using a jet of water (hosepipe, pressure washer, etc.).
Ensure that the Wallbox is not damaged by incorrect handling (housing cover, internal parts,
etc.).
A failure to follow the safety information may result in a danger of death, injury and damage to the
device. The device manufacturer cannot accept any liability for claims resulting from this.
