Recommendations for Using UGV Chargers AC Charging Stations
What to Know About UGV Chargers AC Stations
AC (alternating current) charging stations are the most common and practical solution for charging electric vehicles.
UGV Chargers produces AC charging stations from 7 kW to 44 kW, suitable for installation at gas stations, parking lots, hotels, restaurants, business centers, and private properties.
Proper operation of these stations extends their service life, improves efficiency, and ensures safe charging for every vehicle.
Preparing for Charging
Before connecting your electric vehicle to an AC charging station, make sure that:
the cable and connectors are clean and dry,
the station’s indicator lights show it is ready for use,
the vehicle is parked and secured with the handbrake,
if authorization is required, use an RFID card or the UGV Chargers mobile app to start charging.
Only after completing these steps should you connect the cable to your car’s charging socket. Following this order helps prevent connection errors or contact damage.
Connecting and Finishing the Charging Process
To start charging correctly:
Inspect the cable and connector for damage.
Plug the connector into the vehicle until it clicks.
Authorize the session on the station or via the app.
Wait for the indicator light confirming charging has started.
When charging is complete, follow the reverse order:
first stop charging through the station or the app, then disconnect the cable from the car, and finally from the station.
Ignoring this sequence may cause damage to electrical contacts.
Seasonal Operation Tips
UGV Chargers AC stations are designed for operation in temperatures from –25°C to +50°C, but charging efficiency may vary with environmental conditions.
In winter:
remove snow and moisture from connectors before charging,
allow the car to warm up slightly after long parking in the cold,
handle the cable carefully — in very low temperatures it may become stiff.
In summer:
avoid installing the station under direct sunlight,
overheating can temporarily slow or stop charging to protect the equipment.
Monitoring the Charging Process
UGV Chargers AC stations support remote monitoring via a mobile app or web interface. Users can easily check:
current battery charge level,
charging power in kilowatts,
history and statistics of previous sessions.
If the app is not available, follow the LED indicators on the station:
Green – ready to charge,
Blue – charging in progress,
Red – error or malfunction detected.
Technical Maintenance
To ensure reliable operation and long service life, regular maintenance is recommended:
inspect the housing and connectors for any visible damage or moisture,
clean contacts with a soft dry cloth,
check the grounding connection, especially for private installations,
perform a general check once a month (or every three months for lower usage).
All UGV Chargers stations feature a vandal-resistant steel body with IP55 protection, ensuring durability and safe outdoor operation in all weather conditions.
Safety Rules
For your safety and the longevity of the station, follow these basic rules:
never use extension cords or adapters,
do not touch contacts while charging,
do not leave the cable on the road or where it may be damaged,
stop charging immediately if you notice a burning smell or red flashing light.
In case of malfunction, stop charging and contact the service team.
