
3.1. Intended use
DazeBox, for indoor and outdoor applications, is suitable for recharging in commercial or private parking of               
Plug-in electric and hybrid vehicles. The charging station is designed to be installed on a wall or column.
DazeBox has been designed, built, tested and documented in accordance with current regulations and             
safety standards.
The instructions in this manual must be followed carefully. Otherwise dangerous situations could arise. In              
addition to these instructions, the general safety regulations for risk prevention must be followed.
This device must be grounded. In the event of damage, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock.

The illustrations and explanations in this manual refer to a typical version of the device. The version to                 
which this manual is linked may be slightly different.

In normal operating conditions (once installed and connected to the network), DazeBox is in stand-by,              
awaiting charging. The status of the LEDs is pulsed green.

To charge the vehicle, pull out the charging cable by always holding it by the plug and never by the cable                    
itself and connect it to the vehicle socket. The status of the LEDs will turn into a green and blue, as it is                      
being verified.

Once the machine is connected and accepts the cable, the vehicle is charging and the status of the LEDs                  
will turn to pulsed blue.

The charging cycle ends by disconnecting the charging cable. Other details are described in the manual               
provided by the vehicle manufacturer. At the end, the plug must be placed neatly in the connector holder in                  

▪The position chosen for installing the machine must allow easy connection to the power supply line.
▪Respect the local regulations in force for electrical installations, fire prevention measures and rescue             
ways at the place of installation.
▪Do not install the device in places:
- at risk of explosion (EX environment).
- used as escape routes.
- where objects can fall (eg hanging stairs or car tires).
- in which it is possible that it is hit by jets of water under pressure (eg due to washing                  

it is important to position the charging station near the position of the socket of the parked vehicle.

