Type 2 to domestic socket adapter 16A
USER MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
AC01 adapter is made for electric vehicles charging on classic domestic electric socket. Thanks to AC01 adapter, it is
now possible to charge these vehicles on public charging stations having Type 2 socket (IEC 62196). The adapter sends
a “vehicle connected” and “vehicle ready to charge” signal to the public charging station. This supplies power to the
domestic Schuko socket of the adapter.
START CHARGING:
1. Plug the adapter to the Type 2 socket from the public
charging station.
2. Turn A switch ON. Charging station receives a mes-
sage “vehicle connected” and locks the adapter (if it
has a locking system).
3. Turn B switch ON. Charging station receives a mes-
sage “vehicle ready to charge”.
4. Charging station starts providing current to the elec-
tric domestic socket from the adapter.
5. Connect vehicle cable to the electric domestic socket
of the adapter in order to charge.
END CHARGING:
1. Disconnect vehicle from adapter.
2. Turn B switch OFF. Charging station stops supply-
ing power.
3. Turn A switch OFF. Charging station releases the
adapter (if it has a locking system).
4. Unplug the adapter from the charging station.
5. Have a nice trip :)

Overheating protection: AC01 adapter has a upper quality Schuko domestic socket. It doesn’t overheat, even
when supplying continuous 16A current for long time. However, if the Schuko plugged into it is of bad quality, over-
heating can occur. Overheating is detected by the built-in temperature sensor of AC01 adapter. If necessary, adapt-
er sends a signal to the charging station, requesting to shutdown power supply. When system has cooled down
enough, adapter automatically sends a new instruction to the charging station so that power supply restarts. This
process can occur automatically as many time as necessary.
Compatibility: AC01 “Standard” version is not compatible with charging stations having their own cable with Type 2
plug.
WARNING: Do not draw more than 16A from the adapter.
