Safety instructions
2.2 Hazards during transport, mounting, operation and maintenance
SICHARGE D
Operating Instructions, 11/2023, A5E50556539-AG

2.2.8 Moving parts
The rope box is a partly completed machine. Therefore, there are possibilities of intervention
in moving mechanical parts. If the rope box is installed according to the instructions, then
contact protection is in place.
Do not reach into the rope box until the assembly is complete. Do not use the rope box until

2.2.9 Fast roll-up
If the rope breaks, it is pulled into the rope box by the spring force. Rapid coiling/whipping of
the rope can result in injuries/burns.
During mounting and disassembly, leave the rope clamp and pulley on the rope until the rope
box is fully integrated.
When recycling, only cut the rope directly at the inlet when the roof is installed.
2.2.10 Danger of wrapping around body parts
Do not wrap the rope around body parts. The cable management system retracts the rope
with pretensioned spring force. If the rope is wrapped around body parts it could,
forexample, strangle a person or crush the body part.
2.2.11 Risk of injury due to hot surfaces
When opening the front door or back door, you can come into contact with hot surfaces. This
applies, for example, to the area of the converters or the copper bars. Before starting work,
wait at least 10 minutes after switching off the charging station until all hot surfaces have
cooled down.

Operating Instructions, 11/2023, A5E50556539-AG
Safety instructions
2.3 Hazards in the event of fire, explosions and emergencies

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.
2.4 Dangers due to electrical current
2.4.1 Protection against ingress of liquid
If the doors are locked correctly and the roof is mounted correctly, then the cabinet of the
charging station meets the IP54 degree of protection. 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 cabinet 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
and the main switch -QA2
• Qualified personnel must dry the charging station and check it for damage.
2.4.2 Damaged parts
Only use undamaged devices or parts
Improper handing can damage devices. 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 or parts.

2.4.3 The five safety rules for electrical work
The European standard EN50110‑1:2023 "Operation of electrical installations" prescribes
safety rules for work on and in electrical installations. To ensure the safety of persons and
property in accordance with the standards, always comply with the following safety rules.
Securing an electrical system before starting work
Before starting work on and in electrical installations, apply the following five safety rules:
1. Disconnect at electric distributor
2. Secure against reconnection at electric distributor
3. Verify there is no voltage on the electrical distribution board and the workstation.
4. Ground and short-circuit at the electric distributor
5. Erect barriers around or cover adjacent live parts
Prepare to switch on again after work is finished
After finishing and checking the work, prepare the restart as follows:
•Inform persons no longer required that the work is completed and no further work is
permitted.
•Withdraw persons who are no longer required.
•Remove all tools, equipment and aids that have been used.
Switch on the electrical system again
After finishing the work, rescind the protective measures and switch the system on again:
1. Remove the short-circuit.
2. Remove the grounding.
3. Remove covers or barriers.
4. Remove the fuse to prevent the system from being switched on again.
5. Reconnect the system to the power supply.
2.4.4 Electric shock due to lack of grounding
If the protective conductor connection is missing or incorrectly connected, high voltages may
be present on exposed parts. Touching the parts can lead to severe injuries or death. To
ground the charging station, connect the protective conductor in conformance with
regulations.
