Installation and mounting 5.6 Connecting the dispenser 5.6.5 Connecting the communication cable The dispenser requires an Ethernet connection to the charging station for communication and for remote access from the backend systems. The connection point in the charging station is described in the circuit diagram and the operating instructions of the charging station.
Commissioning Safety precautions before initial commissioning Before initial commissioning, verify the overall charging station and the dispenser in accordance with DIN VDE 0100‑600 or comparable standard/guideline. This includes, in particular, the measurement of protective conductor impedance and isolation resistances. Also check the fuse protection of the charging station on the mains side. Ensure that the charging cables have not become loose during transport.
Commissioning 6.3 Switching off the charging station Automatic starting of the charging station If voltage is applied to the charging station, it will automatically start up. Wait until the charging station is fully started. The LED strips light up white initially during startup. In ready- to-operate state, the LED strips are lit green and the display on the SICHARGE D shows the start menu.
Commissioning 6.5 Service mode Restarting the charging station You can restart the charging station either on site or via remote access from the SICHARGE Configuration Backend SCB. When a door is opened, 2 further buttons appear on the SICHARGE D display next to the notice about the door. The charging station is shut down with "Restart"...
Operation The SICHARGE charging station and dispenser are operated via the touch screen on the charging station. The individual operator options and menu guidance are described in this section. The illustrations may differ slightly depending on the firmware of the device. Safety instructions Observe the following safety instructions for safe operation of the charging station.
Operation 7.2 Starting the charging process Starting the charging process Getting started The language is selected by tapping on the respective greeting in the desired language. If you tap at any other point instead, the default language or the last selected language is automatically selected (highlighted in white, in this case, English).
Page 62
Operation 7.2 Starting the charging process The available charging ports and their states are then displayed. Tap on the charging outlet where you want to charge your vehicle. The arrangement of the outlets on the screen also corresponds to the actual arrangement at the charging station. In the following example, the two CCS charging cables of the dispenser are to the right of the SICHARGE D.

Operation 7.2 Starting the charging process Plugging in the charging cable If the charging cable is not yet connected to the vehicle, you are prompted after the authentication to connect the plug to your vehicle. The charging process starts automatically. Figure 7-3 Connecting the charging cable Communication between the vehicle and charging station begins.
Operation 7.3 Monitoring the charging process Monitoring the charging process You can monitor a successfully started charging process via the touch screen. The type and amount of information depends on the charging point and whether tariff information is available from the OCPP backend. To view more information, you can navigate using the arrows.
Operation 7.4 Stopping the charging process If, for example, you need to authenticate yourself with an RFID card, scanning the card brings you immediately to the charging screen. Stopping the charging process Automatic stopping The following scenarios result in automatic termination of the charging process: •...
Operation 7.5 Calling the help function Depending on the setting in the SCB, the user must authenticate again for confirmation. All instructions are displayed on the touch screen. After successful stopping of the charging process, the display changes again. The user sees a summary of the charging process in the display.
Behavior in the event of errors and error messages In the event of an error, the charging station automatically performs error diagnostics. In the event of an error, it sends one or more error messages to the OCPP backend and the SCB. The error messages in the SCB have a very high level of detail and help with error analyses in the event of service.
Page 69
Behavior in the event of errors and error messages 8.1 Error message "Emergency Stop was triggered" Error message "Emergency Stop was triggered" With the Emergency Stop triggered, the display shows the following error message. Figure 8-1 Error message "The emergency stop switch has been activated" Emergency Stop As part of the Emergency Stop, the power supply of all charging processes is switched off.
The operator is informed via a message to the OCPP backend that support from Siemens Service is required. This service can first analyze the problem remotely via the SCB. This message contains additional information about the exact cause of the error.
Behavior in the event of errors and error messages 8.3 Error message "Outlet out of service" Error message "Outlet out of service" If the control system detects that only one charging outlet is affected by an error case, only this charging outlet is locked selectively. A complete failure of the charging station does not occur.
Behavior in the event of errors and error messages 8.4 "Reinsertion of charging cable" error message "Reinsertion of charging cable" error message If the charging cable does not lock correctly when first inserted, the charging process is not started. The user is asked to plug in the charging cable again. The following error message appears on the display.
Maintenance and service Safety instructions To guarantee the safety of persons and material assets during maintenance and service of the overall charging station, observe the following safety information. WARNING Electric shock from live parts Electrical systems have live parts during operation. If the system has not been disconnected from the power supply before maintenance work is performed inside the station, death, serious injury or damage to property may occur.
