Terminating The Charging Process; Power Failure During Charging Process - Mennekes Start (E) Betriebsanleitung

Fig. 10: Connecting the charging cable
Make sure that vehicle and charging cable are suitable for
mode 3 charging.
1. Connect the charging cable to the vehicle.
2. Insert the plug of the charging cable completely into the
charging socket type 2 at the charging station (only for
charging stations with integrated charging socket
type 2).
The charging station performs now the following steps
automatically:
 Detecting the current-carrying capacity of the charging
cable with resistance coding. Unsuitable charging cables
are rejected.
 It checks that the requirements for proper charging have
been met.
 Communicating with the vehicle using the CP contact.
The charging current upper limit is communicated to the
vehicle with a PWM signal. The protective earth
connection is checked at the same time.
 The charging station interlocks the charging plug
mechanically (only for charging stations with integrated
charging socket type 2). The vehicle signals the charging
station that it is ready for charging. The charging process
starts.
 The symbol "Charging in Progress" lights up on the LED
info bar.
The maximum available charging current depends on the
following points
 Power rating of the charging station.
 Features / version of the charging station.
 Current load capacity of the charging cable.
 Configuration of DIP switches in the charging station.

4.5.2 Terminating the charging process

Caution
Damage to the charging cable.
Pulling the cable may cause cable breaks and other
damages.
Remove the charging cable only by pulling the plug from
the charging socket.
1. Press the multi-function button on the charging station
or terminate the charging process at the vehicle (see
Chapter "Terminating an on-going charging process" on
page 8).
2. Remove the charging cable by pulling the plug from the
charging socket.
3. Remove the charging cable from the vehicle.

4.5.3 Power failure during charging process

A power failure aborts the charging process.
The charging plug of charging stations with charging socket
type 2 is unlocked and removed.
If the charging plug cannot be pulled out, an actuator has
mechanically interlocked the charging plug.
