sionally be paused, e.g. to optimise power consump-
tion.
A pause in charging is indicated on the control unit:

Status LEDs light up green.
The display switches on and shows information
about the completed charging process. After a
few minutes, the charger switches to standby
mode.
e

charge port.
Charging current limiting
The control unit detects the voltage and the availa-
ble current automatically. The charging power to be
used for charging can be set using charging current
limiting. The last charging current set is saved. To
prevent the electrical installation from overheating,
the charging current is automatically limited to 50%
on delivery when domestic electrical outlets are used.
If the charger is connected to an energy manager,
the charging current is limited in line with the val-
ues preset in the energy manager. The maximum
available charging current can also be reduced by
other consumers in the home network, e.g. by an
electric heater or water heater. The charging power
must never be set higher than the maximum available
power of the electrical circuit used. If you are unsure
about this, contact a qualified electrician.
