Installation
1. Preparation: Loosen the screw, remove the front cover, and release the clips to disconnect the main unit from the backplate.
2. Mounting: Fix the backplate to a wall with sufficient load-bearing capacity using the 4 provided screws. Recommended height: 130-150cm.
3. Wiring: Strip cable cores by 12mm. Use cable end sleeves for stranded cable. Tighten screws to 5 Nm. Ensure the cable is secured with the provided strain relief.
4. DIP Switch Settings: Set the maximum charging current using the DIP switch located under the rubber sealing. Refer to the configuration table for settings (0A to 32A).
5. Final Assembly: Press the main unit onto the backplate until it clicks, then secure the front cover with the locking screw.
Using Qudo
Charging: Connect the cable to the Qudo and your vehicle. If in secure mode, swipe the Qudo ID card to authorize. Charging adapts automatically.
Power Settings: Press the button once to enter power setting mode (pink light). Press to cycle through 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%. Stop for 4 seconds to save.
Delay Settings: Press the button once, then hold for 1.5 seconds to enter delay mode. Cycle through 0H, 3H, 6H, 9H, 12H. Wait 4 seconds to save.
Modes: Use the mode card to switch between Free mode (1 light bar) and Secure mode (2 light bars).
Troubleshooting
The light bar indicates status and errors. If you encounter issues, check the LED pattern:
- Ground fault protection: 1 fast, 1 slow flash.
- Over current protection: 2 fast, 1 slow flash.
- Thermal protection: 3 fast, 1 slow flash.
- Undervoltage protection: 4 fast, 1 slow flash.
- Self-test failed: 5 fast, 1 slow flash.
- Ground fault: 1 fast, 2 slow flashes.
- Relay fault: 1 fast, 3 slow flashes.
- Other faults: 1 fast, 4 slow flashes.
Practical help
Common problems
Charging does not start
Check if charging is activated in the car, ensure connectors are plugged in, and check the LED light bar for error codes.
Ground fault protection error
Indicated by 1 fast and 1 slow flash. Contact a dealer if the issue persists.
Thermal protection error
Indicated by 3 fast and 1 slow flash. Ensure the unit is not overheating.
Before use
- Ensure the installation circuit has a max 40A fuse.
- Verify the vehicle supports the distribution network (IT 3-phase vs 1-phase).
- Check charging cable and connector for damage or impurities.
- Ensure the unit is installed by qualified personnel.
- Check that the Qudo is within operating temperature (-30°C to 50°C).
