User Manual Introduction

Caution: Electrical safety and data security of the Supply Equipment must be as-

sured by separate means and is not in scope of the product. In particular, effective

measures must be taken to avoid damage and injury caused by overload or short

circuit in the electric power installation independent from the vSECC.

Caution: Neither the monitoring of residual current and insulation, relay monitoring

(main conductor), especially sticking of the conductors; nor the cooling function

(use of the temperature sensors for monitoring), monitoring of battery and wire

and the performance limits in the vehicle; nor the monitoring of power electronics

incl. contactors (especially emergency shutdown devices) is in the scope of the

product and must therefore be assured by separate means.

1.2.3 Foreseeable Misuse

Caution: vSECC does not comply with the directive 2014/34/EU and must there-

fore not be used in explosion critical areas. Installation in mobile equipment or oper-

ation without adequate protection against weather and moisture is not allowed. The

electrical safety of the supply equipment is not in the scope of the vSECC function-

ality and must be assured independently by suitable measures such as insulation

monitoring, residual current detection, overload protection and circuit breaker. The

vSECC may only be installed and operated by qualified and instructed personnel,

who is familiar with the contents of this document and must have access to it at all

times.

1.2.4 Hazards

Caution: Supply Equipment operates under high voltage which could also occur at

the product in case of failure and cause heavy injury and damage. Wrong configu-

ration and/or operation of the product may cause failures of the Supply Equipment

leading to personal injury or damage to property.

Comply with safety standards and public regulations which are relevant for the

operation of the system. Before you can operate the system in public areas, it

should be tested on a site which is not accessible to the public and specifically

prepared for performing tests in order to reduce hazards.

1.2.5 Disclaimer

Caution: Claims based on defects and liability claims against Vector are excluded

to the extent damages or errors are caused by improper use of the controller or

use not according to its intended purpose. The same applies to damages or er-

rors arising from incorrect mounting, insufficient training or lack of experience of

personnel using the controller.
