INSTALLATION
Note: This product must be grounded/protective earthed. If it should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric current to redure the risk of electric shock. This product is
equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into 230V wall socket that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
Warning: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
is able to result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualied
electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product
is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
product - if it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualied electrician.
Note: The charge cord used to charge the vehicle is a high-powered electrical
device. During normal operation, the 230V plug of the charge cord
may feel warm. The 230V plug must t tightly into an 230V wall socket
that is in good condition.
Warning: Using the charge cord with a worn or damaged 230V wall
socket may cause burns or start a re.
Periodically, check the wall plug and charge cord while the vehicle is
charging. If the wall plug feels hot, unplug the charge cord and have
the wall socket replaced by a qualied electrician.
Replace the charge cord if the wall plug or cord are damaged. Do not
use an wall socket that is worn or damaged.
Warning: Extension Cords, Multi Outlet Power Strips, Surge Protectors
or similar devices should not be used with the charge cord.
Use of an Extension Cords, Multi Outlet Power Strips, Surge Protectors
or similar devices may increase the risk of electric shock or other
hazards.

OPERATION
The Ratio Electric Mode 2 Charge Cable offers maximum security when charging
your EV from a standard Schuko or CEE outlet.
Just plug the wall plug into the earth-grounded 230V wall socket.
Always plug in the wall socket rst.
Now the Power LED will light up.
The 6A Ready/Charge LED will start blinking. You can change the charge current
by pressing the button. The chosen charge current LED starts blinking.
Plug the vehicle connector rmly into the vehicle’s charge port.
After a few seconds Ready/Charge LED stops blinking and will be lighting
continuously. Now the cable is charging at the selected current.
During the charging it’s not possible to change the charge current anymore.
When disconnecting the charge cable, always remove the vehicle connector
rst then remove the plug from the wall socket.
Note: For charge cables with a Schuko wall plug you can choose between 6A,
10A and 13A.
For charge cables with a CEE wall plug you can choose between 6A,
10A and 16A.
ERROR NOTIFICATION
In case of earth failure, the Fault LED lights up red immediately after the wall
plug is plugged into the wall socket. To avoid the error the wall socket needs
always to be earth-grounded.
The Fault LED can also light up red during the charging.
In this case please remove the vehicle connector from the vehicle and wait a few
seconds. Choose the charge current and plug the vehicle connector once more
into the charge port of the car.
If the Fault LED lights up again remove the vehicle connector and the wall plug.
Try again to connect the Charge Cable correctly and charge the vehicle.
If the Mobi Box continues to display the error during the charging, please
contact Ratio Electric for support.
