Porsche Mobile Charger Plus Mode D'emploi page 8

Safety
Electric shock, fire
DANGER
Incorrectly installed electrical sockets can cause
electric shock or fire when the high-voltage battery
is charged using the vehicle charge port.
e
Power supply testing and installation and initial
operation of the electrical socket for the charger
may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
The qualified electrician is fully responsible for
compliance with the relevant standards and reg-
ulations. Porsche recommends that you use a
certified Porsche service partner.
e
The cross-section of the supply cable for the
electrical socket is defined in accordance with
the wire length and the locally applicable regula-
tions and standards.
e
Connect the electrical socket used for charging
via a separately fused electric circuit, which
complies with the local laws and standards.
e
The charger is designed for use in the private
and semi-public sector, e.g. on private property
or in company parking lots. In some countries,
e.g. in Italy and New Zealand, mode 2 charging is
prohibited in public areas.
Further information is available from your au-
thorized Porsche dealer or your local electricity
supplier.
e
Unauthorized persons (e.g. playing children) or
animals must not have access to the charger or
the vehicle during unsupervised charging.
g Please read the safety instructions in the in-
stallation instructions and the Owner's Manual.

Electric shock, fire
DANGER
Incorrect handling of the plug contacts can lead to
electric shock or fire.
e
Do not touch the contacts on the vehicle charge
port and charger.
e
Do not insert any objects into the vehicle charge
port or charger.
e
Protect electrical sockets and plug connections
against moisture, water and other liquids.
Flammable or explosive
WARNING
vapors
Components of the charger can cause sparks and
ignite flammable or explosive vapors.
e
To reduce the risk of explosion, –particularly in
garages–, make sure that the control unit is lo-
cated at least 19.7 in. (50 cm) above the floor
during charging.
e
Do not install the charger in potentially explosive
areas.
In order to meet the of the radiation exposure limit
requirements (1999/519/EC), the device must be
installed such that a distance of at least 20 cm to all
persons is maintained.
Observe the following instructions and recommenda-
tions in order to ensure uninterrupted charging with
the charger:
–
When installing the new electrical socket, select
an industrial electrical outlet with the highest
possible power available (adapted to the domes-
tic electrical installation) and have it commis-
sioned by a qualified electrician. Porsche recom-
mends that you use a certified Porsche service
partner.
–
Where technically possible and legally permis-
sible, the electrical installation must be dimen-
sioned in such a way that the maximum nominal
power of the electrical socket used is available
continuously for charging the vehicle.
–
Before installation, check that the additional
power required to charge a vehicle can be con-
tinuously provided by the currently available do-
mestic installation. Protect the domestic instal-
lation with an energy management system, if
necessary.
– The charger must preferably be operated in
grounded power grids. The ground wire must be
correctly installed.
–
If you are unsure about the electrical domestic
installation, have it checked by a qualified elec-
trician. Porsche recommends that you use a cer-
tified Porsche service partner.
– If you intend to use the charger with a photo-
voltaic system, contact an authorized Porsche
dealer.
– In order to fully exploit the performance of the
charger and to ensure fast vehicle charging, use
either NEMA electrical sockets with the highest
possible current rating appropriate for the power
plug or industrial electrical outlets according to
IEC 60309.
– When charging the high-voltage battery via the
domestic/industrial electrical outlet, the electri-
cal installation may be loaded to its maximum
capacity. Porsche recommends that you have the
electrical installations used for charging checked
regularly by a qualified electrician. Ask a qualified
