3Charging instruction
3.1 Charging with 1 Depot Charge Box
Start charging:
1. Park the electric vehicle with the charge inlet within reach of the connector.
2. Turn off the electric vehicle.
3. Connect the charger’s connector to the vehicle’s charge inlet.
4. The charger will automatically start to charge the vehicle after the preparation
phase, and will indicate the progress by the LED state (see 2.3).
Stop charging:
5. The charge session will continue to charge the bus until the charge session is
stopped.
6. The charge session can be stopped manually by either pushing the stop button
on the depot charge box or the stop button on the bus (not available on every
bus).
7. Charging stops
8. The connector is unlocked by the vehicle for CCS when the Depot box beacon
light changes color to green
9. Take the connector out of the vehicle and put it back in the connector holder on
the depot charge box.
3.2 Charging with 2 or 3 Depot Charge Boxes
The main principle of the sequential charging is to complete the bulk charge for all the
buses that are connected to the charger, before they leave the depot in the morning. The
sequence will be based on the principle first come, first serve.
When the bulk charge is complete the charger will automatically continue with the pre-
conditioning. The charger will follow the same sequence as during bulk charging (first
come, first serve) in a continuous time loop of 20 minutes per bus.
Start charging:
1. Park the electric vehicle with the charge inlet within reach of the connector.
2. Turn off the electric vehicle.
3. Connect the charger’s connector to the vehicle’s charge inlet.
4. When there is no other bus already connected that requires bulk charging:
•The charger will automatically start to charge the vehicle after the prepa-
ration phase, and will indicate the progress by the LED state (see 2.3).
5. When there is another bus already connected that is being charged:
•The LED state will turn to green and start blinking until the other charge
sessions are complete. After completing the other bulk charge session(s)
the charger will automatically start to charge the vehicle after the prepa-
ration phase, and will indicate the progress by the LED state (see 2.3).
6. When all buses completed the bulk charge (SOC > 95% OR Bulkchargecomplet
flag = true (initiated by the bus)) the preconditioning will start, following the
same sequence as the bulk charge with a time interval of 20 min between each
bus.

Document: v0.6 / Document No.: 6AGA000008-0102-EN | Date: 22-05-2019 Page 14 of 23
Stop charging:
7. If there is another bus connected to the charger that requires bulk charging the
charger will stop the preconditioning and automatically switch to the bus that
requires bulk charging.
8. The preconditioning will continue in a 20 min loop between all the connected bus
until the charge session is stopped. This can be done manually by either pushing
the stop button on the depot charge box or the stop button on the bus (not
available on every bus).
9. If the stop button is pressed and there is another vehicle connected that requires
bulk charge or preconditioning, the charging will automatically switch to the next
bus in line and continue the charge session.
10. When the charging is stopped, the connector is unlocked by the vehicle for CCS.
11. Take the connector out of the vehicle and put it back in the connector holder on
the depot charge box.
NOTICE
Session end
Charging will stop without user interaction:
•When the EV indicates to the charger that charging is
completed.
•When the charger completed the bulk charge.
If the battery is not full, a new charge session can be started.
NOTICE
Stop by emergency button
The charger stops the charge session when the emergency
stop is pushed. Only push the emergency stop if there is an
emergency!
3.3 Emergency stop

4Operator Instructions
4.1 Cleaning of the cabinet and Depot charge box
DANGER
Electrical components
•Do not apply high-pressure water jets. Water may leak into the cabinet.
•Only use cleaning agents with a pH value between 6 and 8.
•Do not use cleaning agents with abrasive components.
•Do not use abrasive tools.
The cabinet of the Power Cabinet and Depot charge box is made from powder coated high
quality stainless steel. The coating must be kept in good condition.
Clean the Charger three times a year in the following way:
•Remove rough dirt by rinsing with low-pressure tap water.
•Apply a neutral or weak alkaline cleaning solution and let it soak.
•Remove dirt by hand with a non-woven nylon hand pad.
•Rinse thoroughly with tap water.
•Optionally, apply wax on the front for extra protection and gloss.
•Check the coating on damage.
NOTICE
Rust forming
When the charger is placed in a corrosion sensitive environment, the forming of
superficial rust is possible on the welding points on the side grills. This rust is
merely visual, there is no possibility this will form a risk on the cabinets integrity.
The rust can be removed with the cleaning procedure above. To prevent the rust
from reappearing; prime the areas with a transparent or color-like priming finish.
4.2 Preventive maintenance
Maintenance is done according the maintenance schedule. The charger must be inspected and
serviced yearly by a certified technician.
4.2.1 Service inspection of the cabinets
The following points must be checked regularly:
•Internal RCDs and RCBOs need to be tested on correct functioning on a regular basis.
During the yearly maintenance round that is advised to be executed by a certified ABB
technician, this will be checked.
•Powder coating: look for damage, cracks or ruptures.

Document: v0.6 / Document No.: 6AGA000008-0102-EN | Date: 22-05-2019 Page 16 of 23
4.2.2 Emergency stop inspection
It is advised to test the emergency button every time someone of the operator or service or-
ganization visits the location of the charger. This test needs to be done at least once a year e.g.
during a preventive maintenance round.
Test only when the charger is in idle mode and ready to charge:
1. Press the emergency button.
•The indicator light (beacon) will turn red.
2. Reset the emergency button by turning the knob clockwise.
•After a few moments, the charger returns to its idle state.
4.2.3 Special inspections
In the following cases the charger must be checked by ABB service personnel before further
use:
•If it was struck by lightning.
•If it is damaged due to an accident or fire.
•If its location has been flooded.
4.3 Problem resolving
The site operator or helpdesk is the first response to a customer call. The helpdesk can remo-
tely solve simple problems for the customer.
In special cases the site operator with knowledge of the charger can be asked by ABB support
to report about the status of some internal components of the charger. Therefore a brief
description of the position and function of these components is described on the next pages.
