. Safety instructions and hazard warnings DANGER Electric shock hazard • Never open the housing! Touching live parts may be lethal. • To avoid exposure to electric shocks, never unplug the connecting plug while it is under load! This can cause electrical sparks which may result in excessive wear to the Juice safety connector and couplings and reduce their service life. Stop the charging process in the car first before disconnecting the plug. • Never use the device with the cables tangled or coiled.
WARNING Mortal Danger • Never leave packaging material lying around. Plastic film, plastic bags and other packaging components could become hazardous playthings in the hands of children. There is a danger of suffocation! • First check the packaging and the device for possible damage during shipping. Always inspect the device for defects before installing and setting it up. Do not operate the device if you notice irregularities or damage to the housing, cables, plugs or sockets.
• Assembly, installation and repair work on this installation must be done only by trained professionals possessing the necessary know-how, experience and familiarity with the applicable standards and regulations enabling them to properly assess for themselves any potential hazards.

9. Electrical power supply 9.1. Power connection/input voltage Note the following maximum connection loads: Item No..: EL-JB2 / EA-JB2 JUICE BOOSTER 2 32 A AC (3-phase), 400 V * / ** * Single-phase connection at the same amperage rating is possible but will only provide 1/3 of the charging power in kW. ** Connection is possible with lower amp values. For this, the JUICE BOOSTER 2 must first be connected at the mains end and the amperage must then be set.
10. Functions 10.1. Basic function The JUICE BOOSTER 2 is used for recharging electric vehicles. Using the corresponding adapters, it is a fully-fledged portable charging station and also a charging cable to connect to public charging stations and wallboxes. The JUICE BOOSTER 2 detects the mains adapter connected and thus the maximum permitted charging intensity.
ATTENTION Risk of damage Domestic and industrial power sockets do not have a locking mechanism. During the charging process, avoid disconnecting the mains-end connector or the JUICE CONNECTOR! It leads to flashing loss at the connectors. Furthermore, the charging electronic and equipment in your car and your JUICE BOOSTER 2 may become damaged. 10.4.
11. Preparing the product for use ATTENTION Risk of damage 11.1. Transport and storage • Stow the packaged JUICE BOOSTER 2 securely during transport to prevent damage. • Store the JUICE BOOSTER 2 in dry rooms only. 11.2. Unpacking • After unpacking, inspect the JUICE BOOSTER 2 for any visible damage. Under no circumstances should a damaged device be connected. A damaged JUICE BOOSTER 2 can endanger your safety! • Check that all accessories and additionally supplied parts are present.
12. Power socket requirements 12.1. DIN safety rules DANGER Electric shock hazard Modifications to the electrical installation may only be carried out by qualified professionals.
13. Operating instructions 13.1. Starting conditions • • • Park your vehicle near a power outlet in accordance with Point 10.2 or 10.3. Ready the JUICE BOOSTER 2. Have a JUICE CONNECTOR safety extension cable ready if necessary. DANGER Electric shock hazard / Fire hazard • Make sure that all cables being used are fully unwound and that there are no loops. Failure to do so can result in overheating. This can cause the insulation to melt and start a fire. 13.2.
• • • Connect the type 2 connector to the vehicle. The charging process will begin automatically at the detected, or manually reduced, charging intensity (unless JUICE BOOSTER 2 detects an error). The push-button for selecting the charge intensity and charging mode can be pressed for up to 30 seconds after the vehicle is plugged in. After that it will be disabled. It is then no longer possible to change the charge intensity or charging mode while the JUICE BOOSTER 2 is connected to the vehicle.
13.3. • • • • • End the charging process Always follow the sequence below: Interrupt or stop the charging process in the car. JUICE BOOSTER 2 will stop the charging process. The type 2 connector on the vehicle will be unlocked. If you are charging at a type 2 charging station, the connector will also be unlocked at that end. Remove the type 2 connector from the vehicle. Remove the mains adapter. Disconnect the JUICE CONNECTOR safety adapter from the JUICE BOOSTER 2 if preferred.
13.5. • Press the SELECT button before plugging the connector into the car or in the 30 seconds afterwards. The green LED starts to flash indicating that the vehicle is ready to charge. Press the SELECT button as many times as necessary until the LED is at the desired amperage. Pressing the button again after position 6 A causes the LED to jump back to the maximum value defined by the respective adapter in use.
14. Maintenance and cleaning WARNING Mortal Danger 14.1. Cleaning Disconnect the JUICE BOOSTER 2 from the mains. Only clean the outside of the device. Use a soft, slightly damp or antistatic cloth. Do not use detergent or chemical agents to clean it. Always keep the connectors and couplings, particularly the contacts, clean and dry. 14.2. Maintenance The device requires no maintenance. Be aware that connectors and couplings are highly sensitive parts. Their contacts must always be kept clean and dry.
15.2. Fault indications In case of faults, all of the LEDs will flash red at intervals, alternating with a single red LED indicating the error detected. A B C D E F G Error message Possible cause Action All LEDs off No current from outlet Check that all connectors are pushed in fully (JUICE CONNECTOR until click is heard). Check the wiring. BOOSTER (A) Initialization error. If the power is interrupted during the initialization process (e.g.
SOCKET (C) Defect in the outlet or line or incorrectly connected mains adapter. ATTENTION Incorrect installation Check the installation. Where applicable, stop using this outlet. Check that the adapter or mains adapter is undamaged and correctly connected. Narrow the fault down by using different adapters and different outlets. NO EARTH (D) RCD DC (E) RCD AC (F) Earth conductor monitoring failed. There may not be an earth conductor connected to this outlet. FI circuit breaker has been triggered.
HOT (G) Charger is overheating. Stop the charging process at the vehicle. Allow the JUICE BOOSTER 2 to cool down. In the event of a fault, the device will also cool itself down automatically and restart the charging process as soon as the device temperature has dropped sufficiently. Do not expose the device to strong direct sunlight. Known problems with the Renault Zoe vehicle, especially models with 43 kW charger.
15.3. Resetting error messages Review the error message first and make sure you have recognised and noted down the error. Carry out the steps recommended above. If you wish to reset the error message and restart the charging process, make sure there is no risk from the car, the wiring system and line or from the JUICE BOOSTER 2. Disconnect the device at the vehicle and at the outlet to reset the fault detection. Restart the charging process as usual. DANGER Electric shock hazard 15.4.
What happened? Where did it happen? How many people are injured/affected? 4. Instigate emergency first aid: If the victim is unconscious: Move the victim into the recovery position on his/her side. This is necessary even if the victim’s breathing and pulse appear normal. Keep the victim's air passages free. If the victim is not breathing and has no pulse: Perform immediate mouth-to-nose or mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
