Troubleshooting

Charger does not start charging.

Verify that both the vehicle Type 2 connector and the power plug are securely connected. Check that the power outlet is live and functioning correctly. Ensure the vehicle's charging port is clean and free of debris. Consult the LCD display for any error codes.

LCD display shows an error code (e.g., PEN fault, Over/Under Voltage).

Disconnect the charger from both the vehicle and the power source. Wait for one minute, then reconnect. If the error persists, check the power supply's stability or consult a qualified electrician. If the issue is with the vehicle connection, contact your vehicle manufacturer.

Slow charging speed.

The charging speed is intentionally set at 2.4kW (10A). If you believe the speed is significantly lower than expected, check for any intermittent connections or potential issues with the power source. Ensure no other high-power devices are drawing heavily from the same circuit.

Unit is not weatherproof.

Ensure the unit is only exposed to elements when connected to the vehicle (IP66 rating). When not in use, store it in a dry location (IP55 rating). Check the seals around the connectors for damage.
