Function description:
PERCEDOS® is a portable protective system (IC-RCD*) including communication
interface to the electrical vehicle and intended for use on the charging cable in
mode 2. The device checks the power supply for proper function and only allows
current to be drawn from a safe power source.
The charger of the electrical vehicle controls the charging procedure of the batteries and prompts the PERCEDOS® to switch the charging procedure on or off
by means of the communication connection. In order to activate the charging
procedure, the PERCEDOS® must be activated. An inactive PERCEDOS® status
is the equivalent of a standby function. Without PERCEDOS®, it is impossible to
charge the vehicle in mode 2.
When connected to an outlet, the device automatically recognizes whether
mains voltage is present at the feed point. It is not necessary to manually switch
on the PERCEDOS®
If mains voltage is recognized, the device automatically starts the protective
ground monitoring. This monitoring function is constantly active as long as the
device is operated with mains voltage and monitors the protective ground connection between PERCEDOS® and the outlet for the presence of the protective
ground wire and its freedom from faults.
So that the PERCEDOS® can detect external voltage on the protective ground,
the device must be connected to the electrical vehicle. The function external
voltage detection is also automatically activated as soon as the plug connection
to the vehicle has been created and detected.
As soon as the PERCEDOS® finds one of these faults, the charging procedure is
immediately interrupted or a beginning of the charging procedure is prevented
The fault current circuit breaker integrated into the device additionally protects
the user against an electrical accident in case of a system defect.
Sequence of the charging procedure:
1. Check the maximum possible charging current of the outlet and reparameterize the charging current of the PERCEDOS® after connection to the mains
voltage, if necessary.
2. Connect PERCEDOS® to outlet (mains voltage) and to vehicle.
3. PERCEDOS® automatically starts its test sequence; (outlet and connection
cables) are checked for proper function.
4. After the test sequence and if no malfunctions have been determined, the
PERCEDOS® is ready to activate the charging procedure.
5. For this, the PERCEDOS® must be activated in operating status.
6. Check operating status and switch to active if necessary
7. The charging current of the PERCEDOS® may need to be reparameterized.
8. The vehicle electronics switch the PERCEDOS® on and off for the charging
procedure.

Protective ground monitoring - external voltage detection:
Depending upon the connection configuration, the protective ground is
monitored as follows:
PERCEDOS connected to outlet (mains voltage) without connection to
the vehicle:
The symbols vehicle, PERCEDOS®, and power column blink red/green
for approx. 2 seconds.
• The constant monitoring of the protective ground connection (PE)
between the PERCEDOS® and the outlet for wire breakage is activated.
• No external voltage detection possible.
PERCEDOS® connected to outlet (mains voltage) and vehicle:
The symbols vehicle, PERCEDOS®, and power column blink red/green
for approx. 2 seconds.
• The constant monitoring of the protective ground connection (PE)
between the PERCEDOS® and the outlet for wire breakage is activated.
• The constant detection of external voltage on the protective ground
wire is activated.
PERCEDOS® only attached to the vehicle:
• Device is not being supplied with mains voltage (device off).
• No visual feedback possible.
• No protective ground monitoring possible.
• No external voltage detection possible.
Possible results of the protective ground monitoring - external voltage
detection:
• There is no protective ground connection between the PERCEDOS®
and the outlet (mains connection).
• Charging procedure is not activated.
Display power column blinks red.
The protective ground connection between the PERCEDOS® and the outlet (mains connection) is interrupted during the charging procedure.
• The current charging procedure is switched off.
Display power column blinks red.
Protective ground wire between electrical vehicle, PERCEDOS®, and outlet
(mains connection) is carrying external voltage.
• Charging procedure is not activated.
• The current charging procedure is switched off.
Display power column blinks red.
Recommendation:
• Check the charging cable and plug connections.
• Use another outlet.
• Then, restart the charging procedure.

"Activate/deactivate" PERCEDOS® operating status:
If no fault is detected after commissioning and test sequence, the charging procedure is permitted. For this, the device must be activated in
operating status.
• The PERCEDOS® is delivered inactive.
• The respective operating status, whether active or inactive, is permanently saved in the device even in case of power loss.
• For every startup or after the return of voltage note which operating
status the device assumes after fault-free test sequence.
• If the device was deactivated as its last operating status inactive,
the PERCEDOS® must be switched to active so that the vehicle can
be charged.
Activate PERCEDOS®:
• Press button (I).
• Charging procedure activated.
Display PERCEDOS® illuminates green.
Deactivate PERCEDOS®:
• Press button (0).
• The charging procedure is switched off or interrupted.
• Standby mode.
Display PERCEDOS® blinks green.
Battery charging procedure:
Only possible if the PERCEDOS® has not detected any fault and is activated.
Standby
• Vehicle connection has been detected.
• Charging procedure possible, but not yet switched on by the vehicle
electronics.
Current indicators are off.
Display vehicle illuminates red/green.
Charging procedure
• Charging procedure was switched on by the vehicle electronics.
• Vehicle battery is being charged.
Maximum possible current level illuminates yellow.
Momentary current level illuminates as a green bar.
Display vehicle blinks green.
Charging procedure concluded:
• Vehicle batteries are completely charged.
Current indicators are off.
Display vehicle illuminates green.
• Switch PERCEDOS® to inactive and remove the connections to the
vehicle and the mains connection.
• Vehicle operation can be resumed.
Charging procedure not possible:
• Communication error between the PERCEDOS® and the electrical vehicle.
• Ventilation required by the vehicle electronics is not present, not
activated, or faulty
Display vehicle blinks red.
Current indicators are off.
