How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Note: A damaged enclosure can compromise IP rating and safety.

  • Inspect for exposure: Check if any live parts or wiring are exposed. If so, immediately disconnect power and do not use the charger.
  • Stabilize mounting: Tighten or replace mounting screws and anchors to ensure the charger is securely fixed to the wall.
  • Seal temporary gaps: As a short-term measure, protect small cracks from water ingress with weatherproof tape until proper parts are replaced.
  • Replace enclosure parts: Order and install the correct ABB front cover or enclosure kit. Ensure gaskets and seals are properly seated.
  • Post-repair test: After mechanical repair, perform a functional test and visual inspection for any internal damage.
