2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warning!
Not following the safety instructions could result in a risk to life or of injury, as well as damage to the unit. Blue
Corner disclaims all liability for claims resulting from not following the safety instructions.
Electrical Hazard! Fire Hazard!
Never use worn, damaged or dirty charge connectors, Connector Units or Smart Attachments!
The electrical system to which the charging unit is connected and on which it runs must be inspected by a
qualified electrician. The current circuit of the socket that will be used for charging must have its own residual
current protective unit and a circuit breaker. Only use properly installed, undamaged sockets and an electrical
system that is in perfect working order for charging.
On unknown sockets the vehicle charging current must be set to the lowest current value!
The owner (end customer) must make sure the charging unit is always in immaculate condition when in
operation!
The charging unit must be regularly inspected for damage to the housing, the charging connector, Connector
Unit and Smart Attachment (visual check)!
If the charging unit is damaged, it must be disconnected from the grid immediately. The damaged unit must not
be connected to the power grid again and must be replaced!

Installation Manual
www.bluecorner.be 3
Repairs may not be carried out on the charging unit. Repairs may only be carried out by the manufacturer
(replacement of the charging unit)!
Do not make any unauthorized modifications to the charging unit!
Contacts must not be oiled, greased or treated with contact spray!
Do not remove labels such as the rating plate, warning notices, current limit marks or display symbols!
Never disconnect the Connector System while charging is in progress! Before stopping the charging process, first
unplug the charging connector from the vehicle and then unplug the grid connector.
Always follow the correct sequence when connecting plugs!
Additional extension cables may not be used for connection to the power grid as well as to the vehicle!
The charging unit and all included accessories must only be used to charge the drive battery of electric or plug-
in-hybrid vehicles. The unit may not be used with different types of loads (improper use)!
Read the information and instructions for your vehicle carefully before you charge the vehicle using the charging
unit!
Before charging the vehicle, make sure that it is sufficiently secured against rolling away!
Do not run the charging unit in a thermally insulated or encapsulated vessel or container due to the risk of
overheating.
When using a Smart Attachment, never set a higher charging current than
1) the maximum current the Smart Attachment is approved for.
2) the maximum current the upstream installation and socket are approved for.
If the power supply socket feels hot when charging is in progress, replace this socket immediately!
Never use force to pull on the cable ends of the charging unit!
Never connect or disconnect plug connections between grid connector, Smart Attachment, Connector Unit or
vehicle inlet while the PQ 150 is in charging mode!
The use as a rope for lifting or pulling mechanical loads or for wrapping or tying up objects is strictly prohibited!
The charging unit may only be operated in accordance with its intended use!

When removing the cable from the socket pull on the Connector System, never the cable!
Protect the charging unit and the charging cable from mechanical damage (running over, pinching or kinking)
and the electrical contact area from heat sources, dirt and water!
Note that the Smart Attachments must be fitted with the IP 24 protective cover supplied when not connected in
order to provide a sufficient IP protection level.
Only use Smart Attachments and accessories supplied by Blue Corner with the charging unit or those that are
approved by Blue Corner.
The Smart Attachments contain a Neodymium magnet which may not be brought into direct body contact with
heart pacemakers out of safety reasons.
PQ 150 contains telecommunication hardware which may not be brought into direct body contact with heart
pacemakers out of safety reasons.
In the following countries the charging current may not be set higher than 10A if a Schuko adapter plug is used:
Norway
In the following countries the charging current may not be set higher than 8A if a Schuko adapter plug is used:
Finland, France and Switzerland
In the following countries the charging current may not be set higher than 6A if a Schuko adapter plug is used:
Denmark
If a Schuko Smart Attachment is used, the weight of the charging unit must not put strain on the socket. Relieve
the strain on the cable (e.g. by placing the unit on something or hanging the cable over a hook).
During a single phase charging operation within a 3-phase-grid, the requirements of the grid operator for
asymmetric grid loads needs to be considered. The charging power may not be set to a higher value than the
maximum single phase power drain permitted by the grid operator.
3. INTENDED USE
The charging and all included accessories unit may only be used to charge the drive battery of an electric or
plug-in-hybrid vehicle. Section 5 ”Product Description” describes operation of the charging unit.
Any other use will be considered as improper use. Blue Corner does not assume liability for any damage that
results from such improper use!
Intended use includes following the instructions in this manual as well as observance of all labeling such as type
plates,warning notices, current limit marks, display symbols and ambient conditions.

4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The standard version of the PQ 150 charging unit consists of:
A. the charging cable with the vehicle connector
B. the electronics in a plastic housing (IC-CPD) including the residual current protection mechanism and energy
meter with GSM and GNSS interface (GSM: EDGE, GPRS, 4G
M1, 4G NB-IoT; GNSS: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Baidou)
C. the power grid cable with the patented high level safety Connector System, consisting of the Connector Unit
and one or more Smart Attachments used to connect it to the power grid (in picture: CEE 32A)
Product features:
• Total cable length: 7.5m
• Vehicle connector acc. to IEC 62196 (Type 2)
• 3-phase
• Maximum charging current 32A
• With GSM and GNSS interface (GSM: EDGE, GPRS, 4G M1, 4G NB-IoT; GNSS: GPS, GLONASS,
Galileo, Baidou) connected to the Blue Corner backoffice.
The integrated residual current protection mechanism means PQ 150 charges your vehicle in accordance with
the highest safety standards. The mechanism breaks the current reliably if AC or DC residual currents occur.
The charging unit is designed such that it is easy to adjust the charging current via a touch sensitive field on the
device.
The LED indicator shows you the selected charging current at all times. The energy meter provides additional
functions with full transparency and visibility into every charging event.
