the charger’s button sends an instruction over the air to
your TESLA, which unlocks its charging port. There is
a maximum range of 15 meters. This function allows to
open your TESLA charging port without using the App nor
your vehicle’s tablet.
2) Unlock charging socket:
To remove charger from vehicle, maintain its button
pressed for 1 sec. Charger locking will be removed.
This works also when vehicle is charging. It requires that
TESLA is opened or that driver is nearby (key). You can
then remove the charger without having to use the App
nor your vehicle’s tablet.
Note: This charger is also suitable for non-TESLA cars ! However, you won’t be able to use these functions with uncompatible vehicles.

RCD - DEFINITION AND USAGE
RCD (Residual Current Device) residual current circuit breaker. Its purpose is to protect users from electric shocks if
they touch any conductive element like a copper bar.
RCD provides enhanced protection compared to classic circuit breaker and fuses. RCD devices are constantly monitor-
ing electric current in one or more circuit it is protecting. If it detects an electric ow in an abnormal direction, as trhough
somebody touching a conductive element, RCD shuts the circuit quickly, which is greatly reduce severe and fatal injuries
risks for users.
