Operating elements and indicators

Next generation operating concept

The Wallbox Pure captivates with the highest level of ergonomic comfort and easy, one-handed ope-

ration. The first step is to familiarise yourself with the operating elements:

1 Vehicle plug with charging cable 4 Weather-proof plug holder

2 Lower shelf 5 Key locking system

3 Stop/Start button with LED indicator 6 Upper storage compartment

Weather-proof plug holder

This practical holder protects the electrical contacts on the vehicle plug from moisture, damage and

dirt. The handle is also positioned at an ergonomic height.

Always use the plug holder when the charging cable is not in use to protect it from damage

and to save yourself from unpleasant bending or dirty hands.

Key locking system

A key locking system above the storage compartment protects the Wallbox Pure against unauthorised

use:

The key (1) can be removed in two positions (2):

Unlocked

Normal operation

The LED indicator in the Stop/Start button displays the current charging and

operating status (see following page).

Locked

Stop/Start is deactivated.

Connected vehicle finishes charging.

Then the Wallbox Pure shuts down.

The LED indicator in the Stop/Start button displays the current charging and

operating status (see following page).

Stop/Start button

You can use the Stop/Start button to interrupt/continue the charging process without using the vehicle

key.

LED indicator

The LED indicator in the Stop/Start button displays whether or not your vehicle is charging. The

LED indicator is illuminated or flashes in the following colours depending on the key position, or the

charging and operating status.

Shelf and storage compartment

You can place a key ring, wallet or similar on the lower shelf in order to keep your hands free for

charging. The upper storage compartment can be used for small accessories such as light bulbs, or

paint and touch-up sticks.

Charging the vehicle

Hazard of electric shock, short circuit or overheating!

Always follow your vehicle's owner's manual when charging!

Please see the vehicle's owner's manual for information regarding connecting the charging ca-

ble to the vehicle.

Connecting the vehicle

Unlock the key locking system. Remove the vehicle plug (1) from the holder.

Position the plug (1) at the charge point on the vehicle and insert according to the vehicle's owner's

manual.

The plug connection to the vehicle is weather-proof, protecting against moisture and snow.

The indicator on the vehicle's charge point is not active when the vehicle is in sleep mode.

Starting the charging process

Step Procedure Note

1 Turn the key to the "unlocked" position.

2 The LED indicator must be illuminated in solid

blue. If not, please refer to the Troubleshooting

section (page 15).

Vehicle is unplugged.

A solid blue light from the LED indi-

cator means that the Wallbox Pure is

waiting to begin charging.

3 Connect the charging cable to the charge point

on the vehicle: The LED indicator is illuminated

in solid blue if charging has not yet started. A ve-

hicle timer can delay the start of charging.

The vehicle performs an initialisati-

on procedure: The indicator on the

vehicle's charge point flashes orange.

The vehicle indicates that it is not

ready for charging in the following si-

tuations:

- The battery is already charged.

- The battery temperature is too high.

- The vehicle's charging management

system has interrupted the charging

process.

4 Charging starts as soon as the vehicle is ready

for charging: The LED indicator then flashes

blue.

The vehicle starts the charging pro-

cess: The indicator on the vehicle's

charge point flashes blue.

Checking the charging status

An NFC transponder is located behind the BMW i logo. Hold an NFC-capable smartphone in front of

the logo to open the BMW 360electric website. When you have the BMW i Remote app installed on

your phone (available in all app stores), you can program the NFC transponder to open the app. You

can then easily check the charging status.

Charging and vehicle climate timer

You can set individualised charging times via the onboard electronics of your BMW electric or plug-in

hybrid vehicle, as well as turn on your vehicle's air conditioning system in advance using the Wallbox

Pure. Please see your vehicle's owner's manual for details.

Completing the charging process

Step Procedure Note

1a Vehicle is connected and charging: The LED in-

dicator flashes blue.

The indicator on the vehicle's charge

point flashes blue.

1b Vehicle is connected and charging is complete:

The LED indicator is illuminated in solid blue.

The indicator on the vehicle's charge

point: See vehicle's owner's manual.

2a Ending the charging process:

Press the Stop/Start button. The LED indicator

is illuminated in solid green. If not, please refer to

the Troubleshooting section (page 15).

Pressing the Stop/Start button again restarts the

charging process. The LED indicator flashes blue

as soon as charging actually begins.

The vehicle ends the charging pro-

cess: The indicator on the vehicle's

charge point is illuminated in white.

2b Charging halted by vehicle:

The LED indicator is illuminated in solid blue.

Possible reason:

- The vehicle interrupts the charging

process because a timer was pro-

grammed: The indicator on the

vehicle's charge point is illuminated in

white.

- The vehicle interrupts the charging

process because the battery is fully

charged: The indicator on the vehicle's

charge point flashes green.

3 Disconnect the charging cable from the vehicle:

The LED indicator is illuminated in solid blue. If

not, please refer to the Troubleshooting section

(page 15).

To release the plug lock: Open the ve-

hicle using the remote control.

The connection between the vehicle plug and the vehicle is weather-proof. Therefore, when

charging is complete, you don't have to worry about disconnecting the plug in the presence of

moisture or snow.

Return the vehicle plug to the plug holder after charging to save yourself from unpleasant

bending or dirty hands the next time you charge.

Restarting and troubleshooting

The Wallbox Pure restarts automatically after a power failure:

The device first performs a self test. The LED indicator in the Stop/Start button is illuminated in blue,

green and red for one second each. Then the Stop/Start LED (1) is illuminated in blue; the Wallbox

Pure is again ready for operation.

Fault reporting

The LED in the Stop/Start button flashes red when an error is detected:

1 Press and hold the Stop/Start button for five seconds.
