How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Water inside electrical equipment is hazardous. Do not use the charger until it has been inspected and dried.

  • Switch off power: Turn off the dedicated breaker immediately.
  • Inspect enclosure: Look for cracks, loose covers, or missing screws that could compromise the IP rating.
  • Dry the unit: Open the enclosure (qualified only) and gently dry internal areas with a clean, dry cloth. Allow the unit to air dry for at least 24 hours in a dry environment.
  • Check seals and glands: Inspect door gaskets and cable glands; replace any that are cracked, flattened, or missing.
  • Test after drying: Restore power and monitor operation. If errors or tripping continue, internal components may be damaged and require replacement.
