2 Operating the Boost Charger
2.1 Powering on the Boost Charger
There is an emergency stop button, however there is no separate on/off switch for the Boost Charger.
Note: The emergency stop button should not be used as an on/off switch.
The Boost Charger fast charging station is powered on during the installation by energizing the site’s
electrical panel. Immediately after completing installation and the electrical breaker is turned on, the system
will turn on and run a series of self-tests to ensure safe operation.
These tests include:
• Electrical component safety checks
• Lighting and display checks
• Battery charging system checks
• Component operation checks (such as fans, pumps, and contactors)
• Cellular connectivity checks
If any errors are found, the display will report that the charger is not available for use and the indicator lights
will turn red. Contact EV Connect at [phone] for assistance.
2.2 Shutting Down the Boost Charger
The Boost Charger only needs to be powered off during service by using the electrical breaker at the main
panel. Otherwise, there is no separate power switch. No components will be damaged when the power is
shut off, as the system is designed to be shut off by the breaker. Also, there is no need for any software
commands to turn off the station.
The Boost Charger has the ability to be turned off by use of a remote shut off switch. See the Boost Charger
Installation Guide for more details. Whether this feature is used and where the switch is located varies by site.
IMPORTANT: Only qualified technicians or FreeWire approved personnel are able to complete the
installation of, or perform service on a Boost Charger. For more information please visit

DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Before beginning any work on the Boost Charger, the power must be disconnected at the service
panel. Standard practice must be followed as well as local codes to de-energize the circuit.
Standard lock out/tag out procedures should also be followed. It is recommended to use a
multimeter to test that the power is off before service. The power should remain off for the Boost
Charger until all service doors and panels are properly reinstalled and the work is completed.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
