1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
Hazardous voltages are present on the equipment and
the power lines which could cause death.
•
Use the equipment exclusively for applications
compliant with its intended use.
•
Current sockets not correctly installed can cause
electric shock or fires when charging an electric vehicle
battery.
•
Use the charging equipment IC-CPD only with
adequately grounded electrical mains.
•
The charging station must only be connected to a power
supply system with neutral conductor connected to the
earth.
•
The current socket used for charging must be
connected to a protected circuit in compliance with
local standards and legislation.
•
The socket must be protected by an adequate type A
differential switch.
•
You are advised to have qualified staff check the

ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
2. INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 INTENDED USE
The charging equipment IC-CPD (In Cable Control Protection
Device) allows you to charge battery electric vehicles (BEV) or
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) without any additional
device. This easy-to-use charging system allows you to plug the
vehicle connector directly into the vehicle charging socket and
existing electrical infrastructure. Continuous monitoring of the
charging process guarantees safety of the user and the vehicle.
2.2 TECHNICAL DATA
