1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 General
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This manual contains important safety instructions for the C-Station, C-Series and S-
Series, that shall be followed during installation, operation and maintenance of the unit.
Items in the manual that require particular attention in order to minimize damage and harm
are indicated with the below symbols. Read these sections carefully and follow their
instructions.
Table 1. Safety signs.
Note symbol: Gives useful information to the user.
Mandatory symbol: Describes a mandatory action.
Caution symbol: Describes a situation that may result in damage to the
equipment or system.
Warning symbol: Describes a potentially dangerous situation. If not avoided,
it will result in wounds or fatal injury.
1.2 Main risk factors
Warning! Do not turn OFF the charger if charging is ongoing as it may cause issues to the
vehicle. Follow user guide instructions for correct ending of the charging.
Warning! Only qualified service personnel are allowed to carry out maintenance or
installation work.
Warning! Only an authorized electrician is allowed to carry out electrical work.
Warning! Never release the charging cable from your hand when moving it to or from the
vehicle to prevent damaging the plug or vehicle. After charging place the plug back onto its
holder.
Caution! Do not use the device before it is properly installed and approved for use on the
site in question.
Caution! Always follow local and general safety regulations and procedures.
Caution! Do not use any pressure washing devices or compressed air to clean the device.
C- AND S-OPERATION MANUAL - EN
111/11/2021 1.07

Warning! Before opening or removing hatches, doors or cover plates, turn the main switch
to OFF position, turn off the power supply and wait about 2 minutes before continuing.
Ensure that the device is not energized before continuing.
Warning! Disconnecting the C-Series Charging Power Unit does not cut the AC supply to
the AC Satellite!
1.3 Operational Safety
It is mandatory to read this operating manual and follow its instructions.
The charging voltage is not present at the charging connector pins when the device
is not charging.
Any electrical work on the charging unit is only allowed to be carried out by an
authorized electrician.
Important notes for safe use
Straighten any loops in the cables.
Do not wrap the cables around the body.
Make sure that faulty and damaged cables and charging connectors are changed
immediately as they can cause risk of electical shock or fire.
The cable, plugs and other electric devices may be installed or replaced only by an
authorized electrician.
In case of any abnormal behavior of the equipment, such as smoke coming from the
CPU during normal use, stop the use instantly, turn the charger off and contact a
MANUFACTURER service representative to arrange an inspection.
1.4 Environment
The device shall be installed in a location whereas the ingress protection (IP)
classification and ambient operating conditions are within the limits to that of the
device.
Do not expose the device to high temperatures, as this may cause damage to the
device.
If possible, the charger unit should be mounted in such a location that protects it
from direct sunlight to prevent overheating and ageing of the technical parts.
Make sure the airflow to and from the CPU is unrestricted.

2.2 Notice
This manual provides information on the MANUFACTURER’s charging station and may
refer into one or more standards that may generally apply to charging systems.
Such a reference does not always equal that all of the MANUFACTURER solutions adopt
that standard.
On the component level the reader should refer to the component specifications for the
particular components.
MANUFACTURER may have one or more patents or pending applications protecting the
intellectual property rights mentioned on this operating manual.
All of the information in this manual is subject to change without notice and should not be
constructed as a commitment by MANUFACTURER. This manual is originally written in
English. Other language versions are translated from that document and
MANUFACTURER cannot be held liable for errors in translation.

product (parts) only. Any other material, labor, accommodation and traveling costs are not
included. See more detailed information in the MANUFACTURER warranty terms and
conditions.
MANUFACTURER’s Charging System delivery typically consists one DC cabinet and
Satellite posts with connectivity Plug or integrated C-Station. Charging hardware and
software together with power grid, data communication network, various electric vehicles,
charging operators and users comprises a complex entity. Neither supplier liability nor
warranty does not include any consequential damages, see warranty and disclaimer on
products and services.

3 DEVICE
3.1 Charging system
Due to the modular design of the Charging Power Unit (CPU) and flexibly located Satellite
posts, charging service sites can be customized to provide the best possible charging
result according to your application. Each CPU cabinet provides up to 200 kW of charging
power from four power modules into one or up to eight charging plugs on Satellite posts.
Features:
Charging Power Unit for fixed installation.
Maximum output power 200 kW (or optionally 4x40 kW).
Output voltage 500 V or 800 V (depending on the power module used).
CPU can distribute power to a maximum of eight satellite posts.
Satellite posts with CCS1, CCS2, ChaDeMo and Type 2 AC charging plugs
available.
Satellite posts feature 7" touch screen with on-screen user guidance.
User authentication via RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) on each Satellite post.
The function can be switched on or off.
Internet cloud connection via built-in Wi-Fi and mobile data (3G/4G) connection.
Charge status LED indicators on each Satellite post.
Charging system is designed for a stand-alone operation with minimal maintenance and
communication to the back-end system. All functions are enabled when online.
3.2 S-Series
S-Series is operated from a Satellite post, which may be assembled with different
combination of charging plugs/socket.
