Commissioning Manual 1
2 Preparation before Commissioning
2.1 Safety Notice
Warning!
Only manufacturer’s engineers or engineers trained by manufacturer are allowed to
do commissioning to EVSE. Star Charge will not be responsible for any loss caused by
the operation of any third-party engineers without Star Charge’s authorization.
Each step of commissioning must be handled carefully. If any problem, the test must
be stopped at once until the problems are identified and resolved.
In case of rain, snow, sandstorm and other harsh condition, no any commissioning
operation is allowed!
1) The engineers operating the commissioning must have basic electrical safety knowledge, understand the
technology and performance of EVSE, and know how to handle the emergency caused by electric shock
or other danger, so that they could identify and handle any emergency on the site of commissioning.
2) When operating on the site, engineer must be concentrated on the operation. Drinking and fighting is
absolutely prohibited on the operating site. The engineer is not allowed to operate if feeling
uncomfortable.
3) During commissioning operation, insulation protection shoes and gloves must be worn. Safety helmet
and other protection equipment should be worn when necessary. All the insulation equipment, device
and tools must be checked to be good and reliable.
4) Any electrical equipment and lines are deemed to be powered on before being checked by the operator,
and are not allowed to be touched. Before touching electrical equipment, the engineer must strictly
follow the operation process of powering off the equipment, checking, discharging (if equipment has
capacitance), rechecking, and hanging a warning sign of “No power on, someone is working” or other
preventive tools to prevent power on when operating.
5) Before operating, please strictly follow the procedure of power off, hanging warning sign and lock.
6) Please try the best to operate without power. If it’s necessary to operate with power, there must be a
specific engineer who is qualified to monitor the process. And during the operation, the engineer who
is qualified to monitor the process must not be allowed to do any other job.
7) When operating with power, please clearly identify the L line, N line and PE line, and choose proper
operation place. Touching the energized part and grounding part at the same time is prohibited during
operating.
Commissioning Manual 2
8) Without authorization and approval, any change of connection and structure inside of the EVSE is not
allowed.
9) After operating, please put the components back to the original place, count the tools to prevent missing,
and clean the operation site.
10) In case of any emergency, please launch the emergency response plan immediately, report the situation
to the responsible person according to the plan, and carry out the on-site emergency treatment in the
first time to control spreading, and rescue person and property.
11) In case of electric shock, cut off the power and start the first-aid immediately, call ambulance for medical
help and report to the leader at the same time, and keep the accident into record.
12) Power on sequence: high voltage power, low voltage input and output, load (substation → power
distribution → EVSE);
Power off sequence: load, low voltage input and output, high voltage power (EVSE → power distribution
→ substation)

Warning!
During the commissioning process, the engineer cannot leave when the cabinet is
opened and must remind any other people of staying far away. Make sure that all
doors of the cabinet are closed when leaving the commissioning site.
Notice!
Before commissioning, make each procedure of this part must be carried out carefully
and protective equipment (protective shoes, gloves and etc.) must be worn. Refer to
local regulations and policies for safe operation requirement.

4 Customer Training
After the commissioning work for the EVSE, the engineer should give a basic training relating to the main
characteristics of the EVSE to guide the customer on using and some basic knowledge. The training form
can be through either document or practical explanation on-site. The training content should cover safety
knowledge, basic charging procedure and etc.
After confirming customer’s satisfaction, get the training file signed and recorded properly. Refer to
Appendix 1 “Customer training record sheet” for details.
