Porsche Mobile Charger Plus Mode D'emploi page 48

Security
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
must only be carried out by a qualified electri-
cian. This person is fully responsible for compli-
ance with the relevant standards and regulations.
Porsche recommends that you use a certified
Porsche service partner.
e
The cross-section of the power cable for the
electrical socket must be defined in accordance
with the wire length and the locally applicable
regulations and standards.
e
The electrical socket used for charging must be
connected to a separately fused electric circuit
that complies with local laws and standards.
e
The charger is intended for use in private and
semi-public areas, e.g. private properties or
company car parks. In some countries, e.g. in
Italy and New Zealand, mode 2 charging is pro-
hibited in public areas.
Further information is available from your Por-
sche partner or your local electricity supplier.
e
Unauthorised persons (e.g. playing children) or
animals must not have access to the charger and
the vehicle during unsupervised charging.
g Always read the safety instructions in the in-
stallation manual and the Driver'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
vapours
Components of the charger can cause sparks and
ignite flammable or explosive vapours.
e
To reduce the risk of explosion – particularly
in garages – make sure that the control unit is
located at least 50 cm above the floor during
charging.
e
Do not install the charger in potentially explosive
atmospheres.
In order to satisfy the requirements regarding the
limits on exposure to electromagnetic radiation
(1999/519/EC), install the charger so that there is a
minimum distance from all persons of 20 cm.
Observe the following instructions and recommenda-
tions in order to guarantee uninterrupted charging
with the charger:
–
When installing a new electrical socket, select
an industrial electrical outlet with the highest
possible power available (adapted to the domes-
tic electric installation) and have it put into op-
eration by a qualified electrician. Porsche recom-
mends that you use a certified Porsche service
partner.
–
Where technically possible and legally permissi-
ble, the electric installation must be dimensioned
in such a way that the maximum nominal power
of the electrical socket used is available for
charging the vehicle.
–
Before installation, check that the necessary
power for charging a vehicle can be continuously
provided with the currently available from the
domestic installation. If necessary, protect the
domestic installation with an energy manage-
ment system.
– The charger should preferably be operated in
earthed mains supply systems. The protective
conductor must be properly installed.
–
If you are unsure about the electrical domestic
installation, contact a qualified electrician. Por-
sche recommends that you use a certified Por-
sche service partner.
– If you intend to use the charger with a photovol-
taic system, contact a Porsche partner.
– In order to make full use of the charger and to
ensure fast vehicle charging, use either NEMA
electrical sockets with the highest possible cur-
rent rating appropriate for the power plug or in-
dustrial electrical outlets 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
electrical installations used for charging checked
regularly by a qualified electrician. Ask a qualified
