ELEKTROBAY 165 User Instructions

IMPORTANT INFORMATION…

Always ensure that your power lead is in good condition. Never use
a cut or dam

aged lead especially if you can see bare wires. Contact

your elect

ric vehicle dealer or Elektromotive for a replacement.

Never leave a power lead trailing on the pavement or roadway.
Always be aware of the potential trip hazard to pedestrians and
other

road users. THINK SAFETY!

Ne

ver disconnect your power lead from your vehicle prior to removing

from the Elektrobay. Please DO N

OT unplug or tamper with power

leads connected to other users’ vehicles.

Please be a

ware of moving traffic and never drive off with your

po

wer lead still attached to the Elektrobay!

If the door is forced open during a recharging session or the cable
is cut, the power will be cut immediately.

All Elektrobays are fitted with a Residual Current Device (RCD)
which will t

rip the unit if there is a fault with your cable or vehicle.

Some Elekt

robays are programmed with a recharging time limit, for
example 3 hours. The remaining time is shown on the user display
panel like a parking meter. After a recharging session, these
Elekt

robays have a ‘no return’ function that stops the last user
from starting another recharging session before a certain time has
elapsed. This feature promotes good access to all users by
preventing any one user from monopolizing a specific Elektrobay.

After recharging, ALWAYS CLOSE THE DOOR OF THE ELEKTROBAY

IN THE

LOCKED POSITION to end the transaction.

An Elekt

robay that has a red light on the top indicates that it has

been d

isabled or that there is a fault with the recharging process.

Please on

ly recharge in a designated bay that is vacant.

Please

take care and avoid any fingers becoming trapped in the

recharging apparatus.

Do not use an Elekt

robay with a transformer, adpater plug or an
extension lead! These are not IP rated for water resistance and could
cause a safety hazard in the street.
