This guide provides essential information for operating your Digitus 1-Phase AC EV Portable Charger. Always inspect the cable for damage before use. Ensure your power outlet is compatible and supports 16A. The charger is designed for outdoor use with an IP55 rating but should not be used in extreme weather conditions or with extension cords.

Safety and Precautions

- Installation: Install in a location without violent vibration or impact. Place vertically to facilitate ventilation. Mount on non-combustible materials like metal.
- Electrical Safety: Use only on mains with a fault current circuit breaker. The product must be grounded. Do not use with extension cords or adapters.
- Operation: Keep children away from the device. Do not charge if the vehicle fails or if the charging cable/adapter is damaged. Do not charge in rainy or thunderous weather.
- Maintenance: Do not disassemble or modify the charger. Keep the charging adapter clean and dry. Perform safety inspections at least once a week.

- Plug the AC Schuko plug into the wall socket.
- Ensure the power outlet complies with national standards and supports 16A.
- Plug the charging adapter into the electric vehicle socket.
- Ensure the connector is fully inserted until it clicks into place.
- The charger will work automatically; the power light will turn on, and the charger light will flash.
Adjusting Current
You can adjust the maximum current rating (8A, 10A, 13A, 16A) only when the device is waiting for a connection.
- Power on the device with the Schuko plug.
- Wait for the device to boot up and show two green indicator lights (waiting for connection).
- Press the 'A' button to cycle through the current settings.
- Double-check the current rating on the LCD display before plugging into your EV.
- The setting is stored in memory even after power-off.
LED Screen Description
The LCD screen provides real-time data during charging:

- 1: Control Box Temperature
- 2: Transferred Energy
- 3: Connection and charging status
- 4: Charging current limit
- 5: Charging Time
- 6: Charging Voltage
- 7: Charging Current
- 8: Charging Power
LED Indicator Status
The charger uses three LEDs (POWER, CHARGER, FAULT) to indicate status:

Practical help
Common problems
Current adjustment is only possible when the charger is waiting for a connection. It cannot be changed during the charging process or if an error has occurred.
Check if the power outlet is damaged, rusted, or loose. Ensure the cable is not damaged. Check the FAULT LED for specific error codes.
Count the blinks to identify the error (e.g., 1 blink = Overheat, 3 blinks = Overvoltage). Refer to the LED Indicator Status section for details.
Before use
- Inspect the power cable for any damage or wear.
- Ensure the power outlet is compatible and supports 16A.
- Verify the charger is properly grounded.
- Ensure the vehicle engine is off and stationary.
- Check that the charging plug is clean and dry.
- Ensure the connector is fully inserted until it clicks.
