DANGER:

Risk of electric shock.

Before commissioning or servicing, switch off the power at the main breaker and switch off the MCB in AC power supply system.


8.1 Operation of power on the charging station 


During operation, pay attention to the danger of high voltage to avoid personal injury and property damage. The system must be well grounded before power-on. An installation check must be carried out before commissioning. Confirm that the main AC input switch Q1 and circuit breakers Q3 are disconnected, and the charging gun head is on the cabinet body, and ensure that all devices are installed in place. 


8.2 Preparation for Power on


1.    Make sure that the upstream power supply switch of the charging system is disconnected. 

2.    Use a multimeter to confirm that there is no short circuit between the AC input L1\L2\L3\N\PE. 

3.    Use a multimeter to measure and confirm that there is no short circuit between DC+\DC- \PE of the two charging gun heads. 

4.    Turn on the upstream power supply switch of the system. 

5.    Use a multimeter to measure that the three-phase input power supply voltage in the charging system cabinet is within the allowable working voltage range of the system (323VAC ~ 460VAC).


8.3 Power on the charging station 


1.    Connect the AC input general MCB Q1 of the charging system.

2.    Connect the circuit breakers Q3 and Q4 and close the front door.

3.    After 2s, the system will automatically pull in the AC input contactor after the system self-check is passed, and the power module is electrified.


9. Use of Morek DC180kW & DC120kW 


The charger can be used by ordinary people (no special qualification or training is needed).

The owner of the charging station shall provide to the customer with all the procedure, security and warning related information.  


Because of Firmware development, some UI elements might change. For up to date usage and configuration instructions, check DC Charger User Interface Guide.


WARNING:  

  • Do not operate the charging station if it is physically damaged or if the charging cable has cracks, excessive wear, or other visible damage. Contact Morek or your distributor if you suspect that the charging station is damaged. 
  • Do not direct powerful jets of water toward or onto the charging station. Never operate it with wet hands. Do not put the EV charging plug into any liquid. 
  • Do not place fingers or other objects inside the charging port or plug port. 
  • Read the user instructions supplied with your Morek charging station and the User Manual for your electric vehicle before charging. 
  • Make sure that the charging cable cannot become damaged (kinked, jammed, or driven over) and that the plug(s) do not come into contact with heat sources, dirt, or water. 
  • When the cable is connected on the charging station, do not leave the cable lying around on the floor.


10. Decommissioning


Remove and dispose of the charging station in accordance with applicable local disposal regulations. 


DANGER: 

Risk of electric shock. 

Before the charging station is removed, switch off all power at the power supply cabinet. Secure the power supply cabinet and put up warning signs to prevent accidental supply of power.


To remove Morek DC 30KW charging station, follow the installation steps listed above in reverse order.  

Dispose of the charging station in a responsible manner.



11. Preventative Maintenance


For safe operation of the charger and to ensure a continuous and adequate level of service for users, regular maintenance and control of the equipment is required. 

In addition to these regular maintenance operations, in case a fault or suspected fault, a corrective maintenance operation must be performed. 


Below is the recommended preventive maintenance plan. If the operating environment is harsh (such as sandy environment, dusty environment, etc.), please shorten the maintenance cycle as appropriate.

Accident handling 


Catastrophic accidents include charging equipment failures caused by lightning strikes, flooding, earthquakes, fires and other disasters. For disasters that may seriously affect safety, prevention should be the priority. At the same time, the charging station should have countermeasures and corresponding manpower and material resources to deal with these disasters, and should have emergency management regulations and major accident repair procedures.


It is recommended that when there is water immersion near the charging device, all switches inside the charging station should be disconnected, and the upstream power supply switch of the charging station should be disconnected to ensure the safety of personnel and prevent electric shock. The power module can be pulled out to minimize losses.
