The steps for using a charge gun usually include the following parts:
Unlocking the vehicle. First, the vehicle needs to be unlocked, which usually involves pressing the charging port cover on the rear of the vehicle to open the charging port. Connect the charging gun. For AC charging, plug the charging gun's power plug into a household outlet, at which point the charging gun power indicator is red; for DC charging, plug the charging gun's power plug into the vehicle's DC charging port, at which point the charging gun power indicator is green.
Insert the charging gun. For AC pile, hold the charging gun handle with one hand, insert the charging gun into the charging port of the vehicle, and a "click" will be heard at the same time; for DC pile, hold the charging gun handle with one hand, drag the gun with the other hand, lift the charging gun until the microswitch (slide switch) is parallel to the ground, and then insert it back into the charging port of the charging pile/charging port of the vehicle end, and a "click" will be heard at the same time. A "click" will be heard. During the charging process, the indicator light of the charging port will light up green and the charging indicator light of the instrument panel will blink to indicate the start of charging; when charging is completed, disconnect the power supply first and then pull out the charging gun. In addition, the following points should be noted when using the charging gun:
Before charging, make sure the charging port and charging gun are clean and free of foreign objects. When charging, make sure the charging gun and socket are plugged in tightly to ensure the safety of electricity. During charging, avoid placing flammable objects near the charging gun. When charging is complete, close the charging port cover to prevent foreign objects from entering.
Charging gun over-temperature fault handling methods include the following:
Check the power supply. Check the power cord for burn marks, if so, it should be replaced immediately. Also check the socket for signs of heat, if so, it should also be discontinued.
Replace the charger. If the charger is overheating, it may be a problem with the charger itself and it is recommended to replace it.
Avoid prolonged charging. Prolonged charging can also cause the charger to overheat, so it is recommended to unplug the charger promptly after a full charge. Adjust the ambient temperature. High temperature environment will make the charger overheat more easily, it is recommended to place the charger in a cool and dry place and avoid direct sunlight. Use an external fan to dissipate heat. Ensuring that the charger dissipates heat well can help reduce the temperature.
Confirm the match between the charger and the device. Choosing a charger that meets the requirements of the device can prevent overheating. Check the charging equipment regularly. Charging equipment that has been used for a long time or has not been properly maintained may develop problems and need to be inspected or repaired regularly. Use the charger safely. For example, not using the charger in a humid environment can avoid overheating caused by improper use. Timed charging. Use a timer to control charging to avoid excessive charging time that can cause overheating problems with the device and charger.
