Charging Current Limit
The operator control unit automatically detects the
voltage and the available amperage. Charging current
limiting can be used to set charging at full or half
charging power (100% or 50%). The last charging
current set is not saved. Aer the power plug is
disconnected or aer a power failure, the charging
power is automatically set to 50%. To prevent over-
heating of the electrical installation with household
cables, the charging current when using household
sockets is limited to 50% on delivery.
Setting charging current limit
