Operating instructions
⚠ C A U T I O N
•
Use your charging equipment exclusively at power
sockets and charging stations for which you have original
JUICE mains adapters. The device charges your vehicle
with single- or three-phase AC voltage ranging from 6 to
16 ampere. Use only original JUICE accessories equipped
with the original JUICE CONNECTOR.
•
Protect your charging equipment against damage from
being run over, dropped, yanked, kinked or crushed.
•
To prevent overheating while charging, do not expose
your JUICE BOOSTER 3 air to direct sunlight or other
sources of heat for long periods of time. If the JUICE
BOOSTER 3 air becomes overheated, charging is
automatically interrupted until the unit's temperature
drops to within its normal operating range.
•
In many countries, industrial power outlets must be
equipped with a Type-A residual current device (FCD).
JUICE recommends that a Type-A FCD be installed in
power sockets of any kind. Please note the regulations
in the country of use, as these always take precedence.
As the JUICE BOOSTER 3 air is already fitted with a
built-in DC residual current monitor, you don't have to
bother with pricey installation of a Type-B FCD or
Type-A power supply

PHASE: Indicates the number of phases detected in the
mains charging current and the number of phases used
during charging.
AMPERE: Displays the automatically set or individually
reduced amperage value (i.e. the current amperage).
MODE: Indicates the preselected mode.
LINK: Displays the active radio interfaces
(See table at the end of this chapter).
FAULT: Displays the cause in the event of a fault
(See table at the end of this chapter).

Chase light: Indicates the ongoing charging operation
(flashing speed varies with the charging power).
On the back of the device you'll find a How-To quick-start
guide, hazard warnings, the unit's serial number and other
product information.
Function button on the vehicle-end
connector
A button is fitted to the back of the vehicle-end connector
of the JUICE BOOSTER 3 air. This button functions as a
standard feature in the same way as the identical Select
button on the operating display of the JUICE BOOSTER 3
air. If you have linked the JUICE BOOSTER 3 air with the j+
pilot app on your smartphone, you can assign other or addi-
tional functions provided they are activated for your device.
Find out more about this in the j+ pilot app.
RFID reader on the vehicle-end
connector
The RFID reader on the vehicle-end connector is always
activated. To activate the charging process, hold a pre-
viously registered RFID card up to the RFID symbol on
vehicle-end connector. Your device comes with two cards
that are ready to be activated in the app.
To register an additional RFID card or tag of your choosing
(MIFARE Classic), connect your JUICE BOOSTER 3 air with
your j+ pilot app and follow the given instructions.
Charging instructions
⚠ D A N G E R
Always perform charging operations in the specified
order of steps.
•
Always stop the charging process before you remove
the charger vehicle-end connector from the vehicle
charger socket.
•
Never disconnect any plug (neither from the power
socket, nor on the JUICE CONNECTOR) while the
charging process is ongoing.
•
Potential charging faults (FAULT) are identified on the
device's function display. (further information in this
regard can be found in the Fault indications table).
•
Vehicles fitted with a Type-2 charging socket lock the
charge coupling during the charging process, and the
coupling remains locked as long as the car is locked.
This protects the JUICE BOOSTER 3 air against theft.
•
Should any unauthorised party disconnect the
mains-end cable from the power socket during the
charging process, when the cable is reconnected to the
socket the charging process will automatically continue
at the most recently detected or manually reduced
charge current intensity.
Vehicle-end charging connection
Please consult the vehicle user manual for information
on plugging in the connector, locking and unlocking the
coupling, stopping the charging process, unplugging the
connector from the vehicle-end socket, and the status of
charging and the connection at the vehicle.
Changing out the mains-end adapter
⚠ D A N G E R
•
Stop the charging process.
•
Before changing the mains adapter plug, always first
disconnect the vehicle-end connector from the vehicle
and the mains adapter from the power socket.
•
Always change out the mains adapters in a dry place.
The adapters are connected and disconnected via the
JUICE CONNECTOR safety connection:

only allow connection in the correct position
(orange dots provide orientation for correct alignment).

Disconnect the connectors by pulling back the
retaining ring on the JUICE CONNECTOR safety coupling.
This is part of the adapter.

Protective end caps (always fit the caps in place when
the device is not in use, as they protect against ingress of
dust, moisture and other harmful substances). The JUICE

Charging from domestic or industrial
power outlets
1
Select the fitting mains adapter.
2
Connect the JUICE CONNECTOR of the JUICE
BOOSTER 3 air to the JUICE CONNECTOR of the mains
adapter, as described above.
3
Plug the mains connector into the power source
socket.
Chase lights signal the self-test by
flashing first from left to right, and then from right
to left before cutting out.
4
The device is ready for operation within approx.
3 seconds.
The detected charging current (AMPERE)
and number of phases (PHASE) as well as
the set operating mode (MODE) are illuminated in
white.
5
Check to ensure the charge current intensity is correct.
Note: The charge intensity can be reduced within the first
30 seconds after connecting the JUICE BOOSTER 3 air
to the vehicle by pressing the
SELECT button.
6
Plug the vehicle-end connector into the vehicle's
charge-port socket.
Without activation: When the vehicle is
successfully recognised, the chase lights flash first
from right to left, and then from left to right before
cutting out.
With RFID activation: Hold your
previously registered RFID card up to the card
reader on the vehicle-end connector. When
