INFORMATION
Safety information
WARNING
Electrical danger.
The Wallbox must be installed, commissioned and serviced by appropriately trained,
qualified and authorised electricians
(1)
who bear full responsibility for compliance with
current standards and installation regulations. See installation manual for details.
Electrical danger/Danger of fire.
Never use defective, worn or dirty charging cable plugs.
Electrical danger.
If the status LED is permanently lit in red, the Wallbox must be disconnected from the
supply until the device has been replaced. The voltage on the charging cable cannot be
switched off.
The owner (end customer) must ensure that the Wallbox is operated only if it is in perfect
condition.
The Wallbox must be checked at regular intervals for defects on the socket or charging
cable plug (including charging cable) and for signs of damage to the housing (visual
inspection).
Repair work to the Wallbox is not permitted, and may be completed only by the
manufacturer or a trained expert (Wallbox replacement).
A damaged Wallbox must be switched off and replaced without delay.
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.
The Wallbox does not have a mains plug. The device plug and circuit breaker for the
building installation can be used to disconnect the supply circuit.
Do not use an extension cable for connecting an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle to the
Wallbox.
Connect only electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles or their chargers. Do not connect any other
loads (electric tools, etc.).
Pull the charging cable out of the connector by the plug, not the cable.
Ensure that the charging cable is not mechanically damaged (kinked, jammed or run over)
and that the contact area does not come into contact with heat sources, dirt, or water.
Always conduct a visual inspection for signs of damage before charging. Pay particular
attention to dirt and moisture on the charging plug, cuts on the charging cable or chafing
on the insulation, and also ensure that the cable output from the Wallbox is securely
fastened.

People who, as a result of their specialist training, skills and experience and knowledge of the
relevant standards can assess the work and identify possible dangers.
