2.2 General
2.2.1 Intended use, illegal use, modifications to the device
Intended use
The SICHARGE D charging station has up to three ports for charging the batteries of electric
vehicles. To this purpose, the vehicle requires an AC charging socket or a DC charging socket.
DC charging sockets:
•CCS 2
•CHAdeMO
AC charging socket:
•Type 2
The usage of adapters between charging plug and vehicle, for example to extend the
charging cable or to charge vehicles in a way that deviates from the intended standards, is
not permitted.
The charging station can be used indoors and outdoors. The permissible ambient conditions
at the place of use must be observed for intended use. The SICHARGE D charging station may
only be operated in a perfect technical condition. No modifications are allowed to be made to
the charging station. This applies to both electrical modifications (connecting, disconnecting
or swapping connections of electrical devices, etc.) and mechanical modifications (for
example drill holes). Modifications void the operating permit and warranty.
In general, any person may use the SICHARGE D charging station to charge electric vehicles in
accordance with the operating requirements. Only trained and authorized personnel is
allowed to perform maintenance. The SICHARGE D charging station may only be opened by
authorized persons (electricians).
The SICHARGE D charging station is intended for charging electric vehicles according to
EN 61851-1/-23 and must not be used for other vehicles or purposes. Any other use or use
that goes beyond the use described here is not intended and represents a misuse of the
device.
The charging station must be set up in accordance with the statements in these operating
instructions. Transport, installation, maintenance, cleaning, and normal operation must
follow the instructions or procedures specified in these operating instructions.
The SICHARGE D charging stations are compliant with the calibration law and may be used for
the purpose of invoicing electrical energy in kWh or in combination with further pricing
components. In this regard, also take into account the measuring and calibration laws
(German Measurement and Calibration Act (MessEG) and Measurement and Calibration
Regulations (MessEV)), the Price Indication Ordinance (PAngV) as well as the legal
information on metrology (Page 59).

2.3 Dangers during operation
SICHARGE D ERK
Operating Manual, 02/2022, 8EM5907-0AA00-5AA4.01 9
2.2.2 Qualified personnel
Qualified personnel
All work on the charging station may only be performed after having received the proper
instructions. Non-electrical work, e.g. transport and assembly, may only be performed by
qualified personnel. Qualified personnel are qualified by training and experience to recognize
risks arising during the respective work and to avoid possible hazards.
Electrical engineering work may only be performed by qualified electricians themselves or
under their direction and supervision. A qualified electrician is someone who is able to assess
the work assigned to them and recognize potential dangers due to their professional training,
knowledge and experience as well as knowledge of the relevant standards.
2.3 Dangers during operation
2.3.1 Falling parts
When working at an elevated height, watch out for falling parts, cables or plugs.
2.3.2 Area of the charging station
Danger of tripping or slipping.
Keep area of the charging station clean and uncluttered to prevent tripping and slipping.
Accident hazards
Avoid accidents and injuries to persons, as well as damage to vehicles and the SICHARGE D.
Accident hazards include:
•Inattention
•Danger of tripping or slipping.
•Vandalism

Safety instructions
2.4 Hazards in the event of fire, explosions and emergencies
SICHARGE D ERK
10 Operating Manual, 02/2022, 8EM5907-0AA00-5AA4.01
2.4 Hazards in the event of fire, explosions and emergencies
Fire and explosion protection
Do not store or use flammable liquids that produce flammable vapors, such as gasoline or
ethanol, in the vicinity of the charging station. Electrostatic charges or heat generated during
charging can ignite explosive and flammable liquids.
Fire hazard
In the event of a fire, leave the danger zone. Do not use the charging station in the event of
fire.
Insufficient ventilation
Insufficient ventilation clearances result in components overheating and, in the worst case, in
the generation of smoke and fire. A fire can result in severe injuries.
Furthermore, the service life of installed components is reduced significantly by
overtemperatures.

Safety instructions
2.5 Dangers due to electric current
SICHARGE D ERK
Operating Manual, 02/2022, 8EM5907-0AA00-5AA4.01 11
2.5 Dangers due to electric current
2.5.1 Protection against ingress of liquid
The IP54 degree of protection of the cabinet protects the charging station from ingress of
water splashing against it from all directions. The protection standard prevents ingress of
precipitation and any liquid not under pressure that comes into contact with the enclosure
surface.
Also protect the charging station from liquids that exert pressure on the surface of the
cabinet:
•Never use a pressure washer or steam cleaner to clean the charging station.
•Set up the charging station at a flood-proof location.
WARNING
Electric shock due to ingress of liquid
Strong jets of water or flooding can cause liquid to enter the charging station. Moisture or
liquid inside the charging station can cause electric shock.
Observe the following points when there is a risk that liquid may have entered the charging
station:
•Take the charging station out of operation by switching it off at the electrical distributor.
•Qualified personnel must dry the charging station and check it for damage.
2.5.2 Damaged parts
Only use undamaged equipment or parts
Only use undamaged devices and parts.
Improper handing can result in damage to the equipment. Hazardous voltages may be
present on the cabinet or exposed components if devices are damaged. Dangerous voltages
can result in severe injuries or death. Observe the following points:
•Never exceed the limit values of the technical data during transport, storage and
operation.
•Check the charging cables and charging plugs for tempering, damage and foreign bodies
•Never use damaged devices.

Touch screen
The charging station is equipped with a central touch screen. Using two buttons on the top
and bottom edge of the screen, the display on the 24" Full HD touch screen can be set to
three different heights according to the desired viewing height. The charging station thus
complies with DIN EN 301549 for barrier-free operation.
The 178° viewing angle of the display allows the operating information to be recognized
from all viewing directions. The brightness of the display is controlled automatically
depending on the ambient brightness. This guarantees good readability, even in direct
sunlight.
The user is led by the intuitive menu and can obtain information about the vehicle via the
different states.
LED strips
The LED strips signal the state of the charging station or the individual DC charging outlets. In
this way, the user can recognize from a distance if the charging station is free, the vehicle is
fully charged or there is an error.

AC charging socket (optional)
The AC charging socket is located below the credit card reader and RFID reader. The cover
prevents the ingress of dust and moisture. The integrated shutter represents an additional
mechanical protective measure for personal safety and is intended to ensure that the power
contacts cannot be touched by fingers or objects.
Figure 3-2 AC charging socket with protective cap and integrated shutter
The charging socket is furthermore equipped with an actuator which locks the charging cable
before the charging process is started, and only releases it again when the charging process
is complete. The charging cable with Type 2 plug must be provided by the user and it must
support Mode 3.
