Electric Star PC05A User manual

PC05A
Portable charger for electric vehicle
USER MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
The PC05A portable charger is dedicated to charge any
electric vehicle with three-phase alternating current (AC).
It can be plugged in any industrial electric socket, directly
or using an adapter if necessary. PC05A is completely
universal. It ts any three-phase vehicle having a Type 2
socket (european standard). Charging power is easily set
by the user thanks to the convenient integrated button.
This portable charger takes advantage of a unique
design since all charging electronics is directly in-
tegrated in the Type 2 plug ! Thanks to that smart and
revolutionary design, there is no box attached to the
charger, contrary to other solutions available on the mar-
ket. In other words, it is more convenient, lightweight,
easy to use and easy to store. PC05A is made from pre-
mium quality materials which is highly essential. Pow-
er and safety are both provided by this unique charger.
HOW TO USE ?
START CHARGING:
1. Plug the charger into an electric socket.
2. Charger’s LED starts blinking in order to indicate
what charging power is currently set (see page 2).
3. LED remains xed to show it is waiting to be used.
4. Plug charger into vehicle.
5. LED blinks slowly in order to indicate that vehicle is
currently charging.
END CHARGING:
1. When vehicle is charged, charger’s LED remains
xed (no more blinking).
2. Unplug charger from vehicle, depending on the re-
quired procedure for your vehicle.
3. Have a nice trip :)

SET CHARGING POWER
User can change charging power maximum provided by the portable charger. That can be done before plugging charger
to the vehicle as well as when it is already charging. Method is really easy:
• Press and hold charger’s button: LED switches o󰀨 instantly.
• After 5 secs, LED starts blinking slowly.
• Release charger’s button when correct number of blinks have been seen, corresponding to new desired charging
power (using guide here-after).
BUTTON
Number of
blinks Charging current / power
13 x 6 A / 4.1 kW (1.4 kW)
23 x 8 A / 5.5 kW (1.8 kW)
33 x 10 A / 6.9 kW (2.3 kW)
43 x 13 A / 9.0 kW (3.0 kW)
53 x 16 A / 11.1 kW (3.7 kW)
Memory: New charging power is saved into charger’s memory (even if it is unplugged from electric socket) until
next selection.
Domestic electric socket: PC05A portable charger can also be plugged into a domestic electric socket (Shuko) or
into a CEE 3P 16A single-phase, if a suitable adapter is used. In such case, PC05A provides limited charging power
(see values into brackets here-above).

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.
PC05A can be equipped with a Type B RCD. This RCD provides maximum protection since it handles alternating current
(AC), direct current (DC) as well as high frequency alternating current leaks. In order to take advantage of a boxless
design for PC05A charger, this RCD is directly integrated inside the CEE 5P 16A/32A three-phase plug. Thanks to that,
all the cable is protection, from electric plug to the Type 2 plug, unlike traditional chargers.
LED
Red LED indicates that RDC has shut down current because it has detected a leak.
Simply unplug the charger from wall plug, wait a second and plug it back again in order to reset the device.
PC05A charger can be delivered without RCD, on request. Using a portable charger without this protection
is allowed only if the electric installation is protected by RCD itself !
If cable has been damaged, stop using charger immediately !
