7.5.4 Mode 3 charging

Fig. 34: Connecting the charging cable (example)
Authorisation took place or authorization was not activated
during the setting-up process.
Ensure that the vehicle and charging cable are suitable for
mode 3 charging.
1. Connect the charging cable to the vehicle.
2. Insert the plug of the charging cable completely into the
charging socket type 2 at the charging station (only for
charging stations with integrated charging socket
type 2).
The charging station performs now the following steps
automatically:
 Detecting the current-carrying capacity of the charging
cable with resistance coding. Unsuitable charging cables
are rejected.
 It checks that the requirements for proper charging have
been met.
 It uses the CP contact to communicate with the vehicle.
Using a PWM signal, the charging current upper limit is
transmitted to the vehicle. The ground conductor
connection is checked at the same time.
 The charging system interlocks the charging plug
mechanically (only for charging stations with integrated
charging socket type 2). The vehicle signals to the
charging system that it is ready for charging. The
charging process starts.
 The symbol "Charging in Progress" lights up on the
LED info bar.

The maximum available charging current depends on the
following points
 Power rating of the charging station.
 Features / version of the charging station.
 Current-carrying capacity of the cable.
 Configuration during setting-up process and setting of
the charging current over the Charge APP.
 Configuration of operating modes "Time-Controlled",
"External Tariff Signal" and "Energy Manager".

7.5.5 Terminating the charging process

Caution
Damage to the charging cable.
Pulling the cable may cause cable breaks and other
damages.
Remove the charging cable only by pulling the plug from
the charging socket.
1. Press the multi-function button on the charging station
(see Chapter 7.3.1 "Terminating an on-going charging
process" on page 31) or terminate the charging process
at the vehicle.
2. Remove the plug of the charging cable from the
charging socket (only for charging stations with
integrated charging socket type 2).
3. Remove the charging cable from the vehicle.

7.5.6 Power failure during charging process

A power failure aborts the charging process.
The charging plug of charging stations with charging socket
type 2 is unlocked and removed.
If the charging plug cannot be pulled out, an actuator has
mechanically interlocked the charging plug.
